#1: No reads on villian.

Full Tilt Poker
$0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Ring Game
4 Players
LegoPoker Hand Converter

Stack Sizes
UTG: $57.55
BTN: $79.40
SB: $49.25
Hero (BB): $64.55

Preflop: 8 Q ($0.75, 4 players)
UTG folds, BTN folds, SB raises to $1.50, Hero calls $1

Flop: T 9 K ($3, 2 players)
SB bets $2.25, Hero raises to $7, SB raises to $24, Hero calls $17

Turn: T 9 K [3] ($51, 2 players)
SB bets all in for $24, Hero calls $24

River: T 9 K 3 [] ($99, 2 players)


This hand just makes me feel like a real shitty poker player. Probably a preflop fold? I like to defend with decent hands, maybe I should quit it though. Just call flop? Fold after reraise on flop? Fold Turn (I just don't think I can)?


#2: Don't know much about villain, but he just played a hand quite aggresively against me, and I've been raising quite a bit the last few orbits.

BB: $51.8
UTG: $9.75
Hero (MP): $75.60
BTN: $51.55

Preflop: Q Q ($0.75, 5 players)
UTG folds, Hero raises to $2, BTN folds, SB calls $1.75, BB folds

Flop: 9 5 2 ($4.5, 2 players)
SB bets $3.75, Hero calls $3.75

Turn: 9 5 2 [7] ($12, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $7, SB calls $7

River: 9 5 2 7 [7] ($26, 2 players)
SB bets $26
Hero: ??

I should have reraised flop I know. I'm trying to be way too tricky here. But I wanted to trap him.


#3: No reads on villain. I just recently sat down at the table and won a big pot at showdown.

BB checks, CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: 9 A 2 [7] ($1.75, 3 players)
BB checks, CO bets $1.75, Hero raises to $6, BB folds, CO raises to $18, Hero calls $12

River: 9 A 2 7 [7] ($37.75, 2 players)
CO bets $22, Hero folds
Uncalled bet of $22 returned to CO

How bad is the turn here? I don't imagine my two pair count as outs at this point, but it's possible. The more I think of it, maybe this is an easy fold.

 Hand 2: I dont think you can fold that river without a solid read.

Hand 3: He is repping something strong so you're right you can't count your two pair outs.
That being said, you guys are quite deep so I think you have implied odds to call here; if you hit your flush, he won't beleive you, and you will win a very large pot.
A fold is fine as well though especially if he is a solid player.

#1: i like to call the flop , you´re strong enough to draw here.

#2: i can´t fold this without a solid read, raising the flop would be nice tho.

I ended up calling hand 2. I did feel like it was very possible he had the 7, even 97, but I just couldn't let go of the hand.

on #1, do you think the flop reraise is -ev compared to the simple call in these situations? If he just calls it, we've got more money in the pot with a strong draw, which is pretty good, right? And of course he can fold which is perfectly fine for me with a non-made hand. And finally, it helps to shield your sets here. On the other hand, the implied odds of hitting my draw might be what I want to maximize here.

When he reraises on the flop, is it possible that you could fold that against a solid player? I just didn't think I could.
