    first hand is pew in my book. I dont play these limits but i ad him on AA-Q the whole time. The 3-bet on the flop confermed that, what exactly do you beat?


    (i swear to God if you tell me "I though he had AK im gona fuckin FLIP OUT)


    any way i diddnt read the second hand, you need to pst reads, otherwwise heres the answer your gona get for both hands from the god plaers on this site.

    "WELL IT DEPENDS....."

    Anway judging by th first hand im gona go ahead nd say th second hand is a spew too.

    This is helpful how? Why don't you speak/act like a civilized human and try to be helpful?

    Hand 1 - I would probably just fold preflop after the 4bet. Definitely don't get 240 bb's all in on that flop.

    Hand 2 - Fold or 3bet preflop. You are in the worst position. On the turn you can't fold that hand since villain is so short. Just say, "Oh well" and move on.
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    In hand 1 he has QQ+ probably only AA/KK here so you have no odds to set so need to fold.

    In hand 2 you have a weak ace oop against a raisor so id dump this hand also.

    hand one...you have to know you are up against at least another overpair, but you have the draw to beat it. so, lets look at the math.

    you have 10 outs ( 8 for OE str8 and 2 for set), and two cards to come if you call the push...but no more implied odds to help (the money's in). 10 X 4 = ~40% to hit. and your calling a push is $11 into $36ish, by my count. a little better than 3:1. you dont have the odds to do this profitably. you need deeper stacks for implied odds, or another player in the hand with you, imo.

    and a real crude pstove against QQ+ shows about 20% equity. even worse considering your offered odds arent even close to 5:1.

    hand two...maybe not too bad as played. but, i dont like calling any raise w/ ATo from the sb...too easily dominated, and therefore, too easy to lose a stack or chicken out altogether. bad move pf.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    Hand 1: Fold preflop, you're up against a higher pocket pair and you don't have implied odds to keep playing, even if you saw his cards and they were QQ+.

    Hand 2: Fold preflop. You're out of position with a weak ace against a raise.

    wondering where the 3 extra chairs at my 6max table came from
    </begin newbie note>

    1) My opinion of TT is to try and win the hand PF or hit a set or (least preferred...) at least a flop with no overs. Outside of the first two options I don't consider them very strong post-flop. And with them pushing over u on the flop, I'm gonna read at least JJ+ and C/F the flop if I don't hit a set.
    2) Wouldn't CC a raise in the SB w/ ATo. Is too easy to get exactly in the situation you ended up in and either get pushed out or SD to a loss.

    </end newbie note>
