 Hey guys,

here are a couple hands from tonight that I'd like some help with, in terms of the line I took in each.

Hand 1:

-villain is 21/3.88/3
-villains turn bet seemed weak. Is there any value to a raise there?
should i just be trying for a cheap showdown?

Cryptologic
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $160.09
CO: $93
Hero: $121
SB: $51
BB: $143.50

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with
UTG raises to $4, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: ($16.5, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks, Hero bets $11.75, BB raises to $28, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Turn: ($72.5, 2 players)
BB bets $10, Hero raises to $27, BB calls.

River: ($126.5, 2 players)
BB bets $40, Hero folds.

Hand #2

-villain is 20/15.6/4 (over pretty small sample, so maybe irrelevant)
-Is this river a standard fold/call? or entirely dependent on villain?
-I have no real reads on villain in terms of bet sizing, and what big/small
bets mean from him

Cryptologic
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $61.75
Hero: $93
CO: $171.25
Button: $145.25
SB: $265.50
BB: $84.25

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with
UTG folds, Hero raises to $4, CO folds, Button raises to $10, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: ($21.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $13, Hero calls.

Turn: ($47.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

River: ($47.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $40, Hero ??

 hand 1 - I don't see much value in raising, if you do make it a substantial raise. Your raise sucks. River is probably good

hand 2 - fold the flop. 6 clean outs, OOP. River is easy fold, you only beat a bluff.

-you don't think its worth calling this flop in a re-raised pot? I can't see any hand villain would re-raise with that would have the flush draw here to kill my straight outs. I figured in this spot, my hand is well hidden, and I could almost certainly stack him if I turn my straight.

-in a multiway pot, I agree that calling with this straight draw could be trouble, since other players could be on a flush draw and my outs would be dead.

 Are you sure he has a higher flush in 1 on the flop? Im 3betting here on the flop versus 2pair/set type hands.

im wondering what you could have done on the turn in hand2. I think its correct to call the bet and take a turn card. River is an obvious fold

Raising the turn is pretty ugly.

Hand 2:

Can anyone here find a fold preflop. QJ is in a hurtlock against most taggish players 3 betting range and our position is the suck.

My first thought while re-reading my response. Toss it preflop.

No I don't see value in calling. If villain doesn't have a flush draw (likely), what do you put him on? KK, so you still have 6 outs, AA, ya you'll stack him. AK, 7 outs, but is he stacking off if the flush hits? Do you know enough about villain to make representing the flush +eV, doesn't sound like it? Will he stack off if an 8 hits?

I thought about 3-betting the flop, but figured I would flat call in position and bump any non-diamond turn. As the case may be, it was a diamond, but his bet made him seem weak, so I tried to raise him a bit for value. If we 3-bet the flop, can we/should we fold to a push? probably not..

Calling when people describe things as "obvious folds" makes me feel like a donk.. lol.. maybe thats why I can't seem to beat 100NL. His bet seemed too strong to me (almost pot) after I had checked to him twice, showing no strength...so I called.... and I'm sure we know what happened then..

I agree, the spot to fold this was probably pre-flop. It just seemed hard to fold to what was so close to a min-raise. If villain min re-raised us preflop, would we fold then? Seems too tight...

Thanks for the replies swiggidy. I think this could be a leak in my game, that I certainly don't think into that much detail when making these flop calls with OESD, in HU pots. I rarely fold to a standard flop continuation bet with an OESD. On the turn, if I miss and villain fires again, I can often find a fold here. But rarely on the flop... is this a leak? I feel like most people make this flop call, but maybe I'm mistaken.

Thanks again for all the help so far guys!

Your out of position and your reverse implied odds are through the roof. Flopping a Q or J cant cost us a lot of money.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 Hand 1: I 3bet pretty large here on the flop and raising that turn is sooo bad.

Hand 2: Fold preflop but I call this flop bet. You can't assume he has a flush draw here and if it hits on the turn you'll likely get a free river card, especially getting pot odds of almost 3-1 and with a redraw to the J not that it'll help.
