Here are 3 from today

1. I recently sat down at the table. This is the second orbit but Villain seems loose/aggro, probably bad.

OnGame's Room No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP ($168.95)
2 Thumbs Up ($213.05)
SB ($530.50)
BB ($209.90)
UTG ($206.55)

Preflop: 2 Thumbs Up is Button with Q, A.
2 folds, 2 Thumbs Up raises to $8, SB calls $7, 1 fold.

Flop: ($18) T, 9, 8 (2 players)
SB bets $10, 2 Thumbs Up calls $10.

Turn: ($38) 2 (2 players)
SB bets $28, 2 Thumbs Up raises to $88, SB raises (484.50 $28, 2 Thumbs Up calls $107.05 (All-In).


2. Villain is running 50/12 over ~60 hands, but isn't awful postflop. I've 3-bet him once before and he folded. This is the first time he does this strange preflop raise.

OnGame's Room No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed)

saw flop|saw showdown

2 Thumbs Up ($198.45)
BB ($553.15)
UTG ($194.00)
MP ($206.10)
Button ($517.95)

Preflop: 2 Thumbs Up is SB with Q, A.
2 folds, Button raises to $15, 2 Thumbs Up raises to $40, 1 fold, Button calls $25.

Flop: ($82) A, J, 9 (2 players)
2 Thumbs Up bets $50, Button calls $50.

Turn: ($182) 6 (2 players)
2 Thumbs Up bets $108.45 (All-In)



3. Villain is 28/9/3 over 200 hands. I haven't seen him 3-bet this session wich is around 60 hands and he probably never fires a second bullet with air. Foldable?

OnGame's Room No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP ($311.20)
Button ($275.40)
SB ($153.50)
BB ($172.10)
2 Thumbs Up ($221.15)

Preflop: 2 Thumbs Up is UTG with Q, Q.
2 Thumbs Up raises to $8, 2 folds, SB raises to $14, 1 fold, 2 Thumbs Up calls $6.

Flop: ($30) 6, 3, 8 (2 players)
SB bets $10, 2 Thumbs Up calls $10.

Turn: ($50) 3 (2 players)
SB bets $20, 2 Thumbs Up calls $20.

River: ($90) 5 (2 players)
SB bets $25, 2 Thumbs Up calls $25.

Final Pot: $140

1) why not just call the turn?
2) Looks fine
3) i 4bet this preflop...but as played your conservative line looks okay to me just a little weak

 Hand 1). Preflop is standard, flop is probably a fold, since a Queen or an Ace may have reverse implied odds. Calling the turn is better than raising, since villain most likely has a draw or a very strong hand.

Hand 2). I would not 3bet a 7.5xBB open raise, especially if this is the first time this villain has done so. Shoving on that turn sucksssssss, since villain almost always has A-A/A-K/J-J and not nearly as often is he holding a draw.

Hand 3). calling the 3bet is my standard play, and i think it is fine. A flop raise is needed, however.

I think you're right. As played though I almost folded the turn, but called him down because I got such a good price.

hand 1.
terrible u could win big pot this way u just got into war and made mistakes

hand 2.
i like the preflop raise seem like the guy wanted to play for stakcs with BB with something speculative and not big pair. or something.

hand 3.
as the guy sits there with not full stack that MAY be some worse player i'd assume. definitaly 3 or 4 bet him there. this way ur just telling him fine stack me or trap me. accoding to his too weakish bets i'd say u won that pot luckily against 99/TT...or fd ?
