Same Villian as last hand, and after what he flipped over he's clearly an idiot. I knew he'd call the pathetic min-bet on the turn and think nothing of it as I'd watched him call min-bet over multiple hands. I bet the river figuring he was a huge fish and was fairly capable of calling with Ace high or a medium PP

thought I might have a sliver of FE and given he was a shorty thought he could easily be involved in this hand with AJ or worse. Granted there's no money in our side pot so check flop instead?

as played folded, but can you play better defense on the flop and lead with a 1/4 pot bet? How do you play this differently?

Hand 1 (KK) - 200 to go preflop not 150. If he's a calling station you want to get more chips in the pot since he won't fold for another 50 chips. On the flop, that board is somewhat straight drawy, I raise his donkminbet to 300 or so. If he's chasing a draw your small raise gives him odds to chase. On the turn, I think the check behind is OK since donks LOVE to slowplay if they hit trips, and on the river the call is fine.

Hand 2 (Q8s) - preflop is fine as is the flop bet, but why donkminbet the turn? This achieves nothing. The T fills a quite a few draws, I'd check and see what he does. On the river I'd bet at least 1/2 pot or 250, and shove over his minraise. You're almost always good here - I pay off quads or a higher full house, he calls with a LOT of hands you beat.

Hand 3 (KK) - you couldn't re-raise preflop because Gang Green's AI is treated like a call since he didn't raise at least the amount of the last raise. If he had raised to 250 or more you could have re-raised. On the flop, I'd bet about 3/4 pot, no need to go berserk here!

Hand 4 (93s) - fine. I always play this fast because another either kills you or kills your action.

Hand 5 (AQs) - with the first raiser having almost half his stack in the pot preflop, reshove preflop if you're going to play this and put the hard decision back on him.

Hand 6 (AJo) - I think your raise is fine at these blind levels with your stack size. You have to call the shove, it's 600 to see a 1640 pot so 2.7 to 1 odds and this is NOT always AA or KK. Even if opp shows you KK face up you pretty much have to call.

Hand 7 (ATo) - not sure of the flop action here, something went screwy with the HH, but I would bet this flop for 1/2 pot or so with your OESD and overcard. You've very likely got 8-11 outs here if called or raised.

Hand 8 (AJs) - sorry to be harsh but this is really bad on all streets. With <10x BB I'd just shove back preflop rather than cold calling. Calling is the worst option - you're OOP postflop and you won't like most flops. On the flop, I don't get this slowplaying - I'd probably just bet 1000 and hope he raises or alternatively check/raise all-in! On the turn, again, BET BET BET! Why check here, you likely have the best hand, you want to get your chips in! As played, you have to call, the 6 is unlikely to have helped opp.

Hand 9 (J9o) - fine, I go broke here too. Flopping top pair heads up is like flopping trips or a set on a full table.

Wow, those are some interesting hands.

1) I play same as Taipan.

2) You've got a full house man! I bet turn harder and I thank him for his min-raise on the river and get all my chips in.

3) Hand 3 I dont get tricky. PSB maybe a little less on flop.

4) I like this as played. You almost undoubtably have the best hand here, but someone could be drawing with a higher heart so take it down.

5) In this scenario I generally check down unless I hit.

6) You have great odds to call this as played.

7) PF is fine by me, but you need to c-bet this flop. You have a OESD and you were the PF aggressor.

8) I 2nd everything Taipan said. You need to up your aggression.

9) Perfect. Sometimes you just run into a better hand.
Just playing to improve.

Hand 2: I like my hand and I know this guy is calling station. Even though the donk bet is retarded I use it when I'm fairly confident my opponent is very unlikely to read into it and will call just about any bet. I want to lead because I'm not sure what he might bet and I want to see more cards as cheap as possible. I know it sounds all wrong, but at this buy-in you see a lot of calling stations who can't tell the difference between a pot bet and a min-bet. He ended up flipping over Q9 for the nuts/

Hand 8: Haha, looking back over this I agree that it's terrible, but at the time I figured I was getting all my chips in and figured the best way to get his in were to let him lead. He flipped over KQ or something, total bluff... I busted 3 guys in this SnG with questionable calls on their push bluffs- gotta post them and get reemed.
Come give me advice.
