Hand 1

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($183.80)
SB ($22.30)
Hero ($100)
UTG ($82.40)
MP ($19.50)
CO ($47.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J, T.
UTG raises to $4, 1 fold, CO calls $4, Button calls $4, 1 fold, Hero raises to $17, UTG calls $13, CO calls $13, Button calls $13.

Flop: ($68.50) 7, 9, T (4 players)
Hero ???


Squeeze should be more like $22 I guess.

Anyone shove flop? Checking sucks because if we're ahead, they will let a free card come off and then we're screwed. Betting sucks because someone easily has JJ here. WWYD?


Hand 2

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Final Pot: $205.50

I'm new to table. First orbit.
I check because i can get some value from a bluff... he instashoves. I'm assuming nobody here folds, ever.

Why would anyone prefer a lead here?




Hand 3

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($135.50)
UTG ($17.85)

River: ($224.35) 4 (3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $224.35

Same villain, 60 hands later. Calls flops light, even with air. Call the shove? Haven't seen this kind of aggro before.


Hand 4

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($97.20)
Button ($48.85)

MP ($130.20)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, K.
1 fold, MP raises to $4, Hero raises to $14, 3 folds, MP calls $10.

Flop: ($29.50) 9, Q, Q (2 players)
MP bets $10, ??

Folds? Ugh. W/B most always here. I just hate showing such weakness in a 3bet pot.



Hand 5

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($69.50)
UTG ($101.80)

BB checks, Hero bets $17, BB calls $17.

River: ($56.50) 7 (2 players)
BB bets $35, Hero calls $35.

Final Pot: $126.50


Anyone ever fold here? Looks like a slowplayed 5 or an 8. We do beat 2pair... but they might be scared and c/c. The river lead is almost always strength.

meeloche is on a distinguished road
 1) Reads would be nice for the squeeze cause theres a lot of situations where this could be bad. I think the fact that theres 3 unknowns here is marginal. As played I'm getting it in on this flop by shoving cause anything else is awkward imo.

2) I wouldn't prefer a lead here actually cause anything you beat folds unless there are a level above and realize this is a great card to bluff. Sucks if he has KQ or AK diamonds. . I guess I call but I don't really like it its pretty close I think.

3) I don't really like the turn raise I just call and try to get to showdown cheap cause I have no idea wtf he's doing and you don't want to get bluffed off the best hand.

4) No reads? Against an unknown I probably fold i guess.

5) I'm a station and I'd convince myself he has a fd and play it the same as you. Again i don't have a read on the player so I assume hes bad and doesn't have to have me beat here.

In general do you not have more reads on the players you play with? If not maybe cut down on some tables?

1) would def not squeeze here but as played shove the flop and hope UTG did not hit his mid PP. Shove flop because they always seem to think 'he missed AK and my 55 is good'.
2) getting 3-to-1? easy call.
3) just c/c turn and def fold to his allin. He already saw you call the big allin in the prev hand with 2nd pair why would he want to bluff you here? He has something and it prolly beats KK.
4) i make it $30 and fold to a shove. But folding is fine too i think.
5) Call. Just because he leads into u after 2 turns doesn't mean he has it. That 7 is an obv scare card to rep so i call. missed fd half the time i'd say.

1) Shove, but I'm not overly happy about it.
2) Snap call. C/C probably slightly better than shoving here.
3) Call turn. Fold to a large river bet.
4) meh I dunno, fold?
5) Looks like a call to me w/o reads.
