2 BB Special 2 pair hands (6.50)

Results 1 to 5 of 5

    Default 2 BB Special 2 pair hands (6.50)

    Hand 1 : I overbet pot because of the drawy board and so many villians in the pot , is this good justification to overbet or no? Looking back i should have went for the C/rai? Now what should my line be on the turn given all the flat calls? Bet/call a shove? Check/fold , or Open shove. Bet/fold doesn't seem like a option at all given stack size/pot size.

    meh i guess hand 1 i could bet/fold but i dont like that option :P, i was referring to hand 2 , on the turn bet/fold doesnt seem any good. What if turn checks through on hand 2 (it did) should i value bet a non heart river)

    Hand 1:
    It is not a flop that hit many hands, so I think betting is ok.
    I would bet a little more, like 175-200ish.
    Although with 7 people I would CR if there were active people left to act.
    On the turn I bet pot, so 800ish and call a shove or shove river.

    Hand 2:
    I like the bet, maybe bet a little more on the fllop.
    On the turn I c/f c/c depending on odds.
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Hand 2: What if it checks through (it did) , value bet river or stay in check/call smallish bet mode? It checked all the way to showdown FWIW.
    Hand 1: I bet 750 on turn and called a shove FWIW.

    Hand 1 - I could either go for a bigger flop lead or a C-R here. With 6 opps in the pot I think you have a good chance of somebody betting, I think I go for that option.

    On the turn, I agree with mattiesmat, I bet pot and shove river unless board pairs. Shoving turn would be bad either but may not be the best way to get all your chips in.

    Hand 2 - I check on the turn and see what happens, since you are first to act on each street I think I am happy to check this one down since somebody with 6x may not bet here but may call a bet.
