Hero?

1. I bet $190, my friend would check because he doesn't want to be raised.

2. His check is usually weakness. Bet $150-$220. Still this isn't an auto-bet in case the other guy is tricky like you imply.

3. I bet $95, don't want him to fold an A, and still leave him room to raise 99 whatever.

y would u bet h1 regs at 2/5 zoom r good mostly

1. I think with this hand I prefer taking a bet flop c/c turn line. I much prefer having T9-A9 for your line because it reduces his turn/river value betting range by 20%. With 98 specifically you are allowing him to bluff and value bet turn and river overcards with relative impunity. With 98 diamonds you can 3bet jam to a raise anyway.

As played c/r i suppose. Definitely wouldn't lead.

2. I think I'd just back raise this. He's a top player and its almost certainly plus ev to do so, just save some rake and some heartache. As played I think the flop call is pretty dubious and as played I'm hard-pressed to think of any better hands he would check to you here so a bet seems to be in order. If he's like ultra tricky then check I guess.

3. This is the most interesting hand. I don't think he ever calls a bet with Ax. But he doesn't bet with Ax either so thats a wash. When we hold two broadway clubds that makes busted clubs incredibly unlikely. I'd just bet this because if he's good he might actually check behind with a junky jack.

Very good. I actually posted that I checked by mistake.

I'd back raise anything I wouldn't be happy to flat with. I've got position and fairly long history with nano so I know his spewy low stakes gameplan somewhat well. No way I'm giving him the pot for 55 on the flop. Half pot and he can have it.

Agree it's close. Does he jam 99 over a bet? Should he?
