I saw someone wanted some more strategy hands posted in here, so here's a couple I played pretty strange. What do you think?

Villain is a tough regular, cool guy and we chat a lot but he plays a hard aggressive game. I call his re-raises quite often with small PPs and other stuff so I also sometimes call with these hands insetad of 3bet preflop.

How about these funky lines?


Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $5/$10
5 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with A K
UTG folds, Hero raises to $40, Button folds, SB raises to $115, BB folds, Hero calls.

Flop: 5 A A ($240, 2 players)
SB bets $200, Hero calls.

Turn: Q ($640, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: 4 ($640, 2 players)
SB bets $350, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: $1340









Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $5/$10
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with A A
UTG folds, Hero raises to $40, CO folds, Button raises to $120, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: 4 2 J ($255, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $215, Hero calls.

Turn: 3 ($685, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $420, Hero raises all-in $954

I don't play these limits but I think you played both of these very very very well. You successfully masked the strength of your hand in both cases. I like the river call in hand 1 in particular. There's no point raising because no hand that you beat would call a raise.

Nice hands.
Family Cruise IMO

Hand 1; You seem beat, but I guess it's fine. I don't see a reason for Villain's flop bet btw.

Hand 2; Standard. You can play it a bit different for metagame reasons, to set up bluff lines etc.

1st hand - If he had QQ would he not continue betting on the turn instead of trying a c/r?

 i like hand 2 a lot, i'm not as sure on hand 1 but I can't really see anything i'd change.
i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

Oh yea, I did forget to post stack sizes, I believe they were all around 100-150 bbs. I thought the first one was different because the opponent found it strange when I called him down all the way without ever raising. Second one was different because I don't usually slowplay big pairs that hard. Opponent was facial_hair in both hands.
