 1). Villain is farlz, a 200NL regular who i remember as being kind of a strange LAG (not good). Not prone to making big calls.

Mostly i'm wondering whether you also think my line is plausible as A-K+. Clearly he isn't strong given smallish turn lead and river check. To me the best river bet here is a push but if you disagree on the sizing plz elaborate.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP ($211.85)
CO ($196)
Button ($190.80)
SB ($386.70)
BB ($244.85)
Hero ($204.45)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 6, A.
Hero raises to $8, 3 folds, SB calls $7, 1 fold.

Flop: ($18) 9, 7, K (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $14, SB raises to $34, Hero calls $20.

Turn: ($86) T (2 players)
SB bets $34, Hero calls $34.

River: ($154) T (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $128.45 (All-In)



2). Here villain is a LAP fish. I have picked up a couple small pots off him before and been generally winning at the table. I had been caught making a move on the turn in an earlier hand though it wasn't with him.

Is this river raise too thin? I was folding to a push for sure. Sizing?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($214.20)
SB ($214.50)
BB ($189.90)
Hero ($292.60)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T, 9.
Hero raises to $8, 2 folds, BB calls $6.

Flop: ($17) 7, 2, J (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $12, BB calls $12.

Turn: ($41) 7 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($41) 4 (2 players)
BB bets $20, Hero raises to $55



3). Same villain as in hand two, although this one took place a few hands earlier.

And same question: river bet too thin?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($219.20)
Button ($213.50)
SB ($219.30)
Hero ($261.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, T.
2 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($4) 8, J, 2 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $4, SB calls $4.

Turn: ($12) K (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $8, SB calls $8.

River: ($28) T (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $20

 1) i dont care much for your river shove. i think if you are trying to rep AK+ shove the turn.

2) we are playing a loose/passive fish? this is standard, no?

3)meh, im probably checking behind turn. as played i think this is fine given the fishiness. he will almost certainly call with a bare K or J. though very thin.

hand 1: AK makes sense for your hand. Good bluff with reads.

Hand 2: Standard.

Hand 3: why did you bet turn? This is a clear check.

Third hand, i like the turn bet. We are betting this flop with any flush draw and AK as well as hands that hit right? Then we want to bet this big time scare card for sure i think.

River vbet is very thin after turn call but i can't say i don't like it. Think u played it good.

 could i get more people to look at these hands? lol


i floated the c/r in hand 1 because i was c/r'ing villain a lot and he was aggressive in general, and i have some backdoor draws/overcard etc

hand 2 is a dumb question and indicates my rustiness

 1) If I have AK i'm felting this turn.

2) No such thing as a vb too thin. I would prefer to be deeper so this looks more like a bet to induce a shove but its still fine.

3) Fine

 1) shoving the turn is def. more believable as AK.

2) eh, its thin for sure but villain may get excited and call with a random J.

3) i like it

Hand 1 is pretty sick if it worked. Only problem is that if he decides to bet the river, theres nothing you can do (I'm assuming you would just call down mostly with a bare K). I think this is good if he bets all his strong hands for value on the river (like T8 and 68).
