    Default Floating against a well defined hand.

    Not enough good games, so dropped down a level to find prey. Opponent in this hand seems fairly straight forward. Not much history with anyone ldo.

    I'm beginning to think that a regular sized bet is the least efficient size in these spots. Only b/c I have a man-crush on Durrrr have I realized that jamming in this spot is really cool when our opponent's range is made up of mediocre-strength hands.

    How do you think he played this hand? I had a bit of a read, but still an uncomfortable spot.

    Durrrr is amazing. His play on High Stakes Poker has been a treat to watch.

    I think in both cases whoever is bluffing is not repping much at all.

    If I was going to bet river as BTN in hand 2 I'd have bet smaller. He's basically trying to get you to fold a missed FD just incase you have the A I presume.
    Just dipping my toes back in.
