PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP ($10)
CO ($32.45)
Hero ($24.05)
SB ($10.15)
BB ($10)
UTG ($12.35)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K.
2 folds, CO raises to $0.4, Hero raises to $1.2, SB raises to $3.2, 1 fold, CO folds, Hero calls $2.

Flop: ($6.90) 8, 2, 3 (2 players)
SB bets $6.95 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $6.90

The call is wrong.. right? Shove or fold here? The SB has been real quiet, and hadn't played a hand in an hour.


Hand 2.

Seat 5: HenRoyX (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 6: aisflat439 showed [6s As] and won ($5.40) with a pair of Aces

Bigger turn bet? Lesser turn bet? Represent the river? I honestly didn't think I could push him off, and it felt like AJ.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Unless he gives you reason to think he's started playing back at you, assume he's not.

Hand 2:
I'm usually folding pf here, but if I am going to play, I'm going to 3bet.

As played, I check the turn and take the free river card. Until they show me otherwise, I'm not going to assume that a random 10nl player can lay down a pair of aces. Then check behind on river and hope your pair holds. Nothing worse is going to call a bet, and lots of better hands will.

I also note that this villain is raising stuff like A6s UTG.

hand 1

shove pf or fold

it is ok to fold AKs pf if villain is a serious rock. i prefer a fold pf. super tight players dont 4b without KK/AA

hand 2

raise flop to $2.10
full pot turn

his range is gonna have to fold most of the time to show profit here.

i also strongly disagree with the advice above about 3betting this hand vs. utg raiser... vs CO its ok, but not utg.
