25Nl hands

Played an interesting session today.Hands like this(hand 1) caught me in disbelief.I had a calling station on every table i play.Practically ran with my money after i took a bad beat.Fish!
took a huge pot thanks to a good read.but lost a couple of small pots($4-$6) due to donks betting small on the flop after i raised pf and i re-raised them on the flop and still they float me!


Hand 1:
Kinda clueless on his play,maybe a squeeze play?i dont know,villain 2nd hand on the table.might thought him on 66+,AJ+

Hand 1 - Unless you have a read that villain is ultra tight this is fine. You are a 52% favorite against the range you think villain has.

Hand 2 - I would have played this the same way and may have folded to a raise on the turn.

Don't auto-raise small bets, I mean some of them do it with a draw or a pair they're not folding.

Hand 1 it's usually a pocket pair so you're slightly worse than a coinflip, can't really go wrong here unless he's a nit and his range is heavily weighted towards AA-KK.

Hand 2: Looks good

Hand 1: All depends on your reads. I hate going AI on AKs pre-flop, but I'll put a donk to it all day long. Like Jack said, you're just worse than a coin flip against any pocket pair.

Hand 2: Yeesh...hate that river, but well played.

1 - completely standard. i snap it.
2 - this is actually fairly close because you can actually eek some value from certain players, especially since the 7c brings a chop if its Ax vs Ax, no clubs. you could throw out a small blocker bet.

Expect to lose that "blocking" bet to a flush/boat more than 50% of the time
17/7 probably doesn't call a raise with Axs preflop, doesn't peel the turn unless he has ATs, TT, or pair + club

the only hand you get value from is AT on this board I think
