    Default Tell me im a donk

    Ok bad day. Just let me know if there are alternative ways to play these hands and if there are any errors.

    VP$IP of opp is 27%. Hes a total bluffaholic hence my check on the flop i know he will bluff. His big bet suggested to mehe had top pair so i just shoved knowing he couldnt get away from it. My line ok?

    Dont like how i played this. I called on the turn hoping for a cheap showdown and then went an checked the river oop. Can/should i call the turn and then block bet the river folding to a raise or should i have called or check raised the flop?
    VP$IP for opp is 57% lol.

    This was fun. VP$IP for opp is 60%+ so he could have any two. My concern here is do i just call the turn? The bet made me suspicious TT no good but id seen enough of these guys to know top pair was a license to print money to them. So, how best to play the turn? Do i call his push regardless?

    First hand - well played.

    Second hand - Would help with a read on this player to decide if he was able to make this bet without the goods - ( a lot of the weaker players will min raise if u bet - but raise big if you check - so could of been worth trying a $2.00 bet here).

    First instinct is to say you are beat here - but he could also be bluffing.

    worth calling the turn raise - as if he has a 7 then he will pay you off if you hit your FH.

    Third hand - even with knowing that he sees a lot of flops you should slow down after he called your flop bet - fold (his stack isn't that big) or call on the turn - if calling call a small bet on the river - fold to anything bigger.


    Fourth hand - Q5 ...but it was suited - nh wp

    I would have bet about 7 or 8 on the flop and push on the turn - don't like betting half the pot when a possible straight is on even against one opponent .

    Oh, I'll read it now.

    Hand 1... this seems fine, but something is a little funny.
    You check - "because he's a bluffaholoic" but when he DOES bet, you correctly put him on TP, and push knowing you will get a bad call. If he bluffed the flop, would he have bet like $4?

    Hand 2... not sure calling the river ISN'T a cheap showdown. I could see raising pre-flop, or even re-raising turn depending on how passive his 57% vpip is

    Hand 3... you think he called flop and re-raised you with a 4? A 7?

    Hand 4... std I think. You don't really want him to (correctly) fold Q5 if you push.
    Still 1/2 pot? With diamond and straight draws? I would have bet at least 15 on the turn.
