2 50NL Hands.

This table had 3 huge fish which is why I open pre. BB was HORRIBLE and just bet whatever. Button was 32/16/3 and wasn't really good. I mean should I just call flop originally?

This guy was absolutely horrible but was a reg. Horrible as in just making a lot of plays that made no sense. I'm not really sure what to do on the flop. The reason I did raise was because I thought his PP+diamond would call. Bad?

It's like on monotone flops I feel like I have to bet more with weaker hands to not allow a free card.

Id call in hand 1 for sure. I think raising is bad unless you rate your FE as fairly high

Hand 2 - Id again flat. Your preflop 3bet is pretty bad, you should call preflop.

[BigPapi]

I call as well in hand 1.

hand 2: I wouldnt want to narrow down an already narrow UTG range even more to hands that crush us by 3betting pf. Postflop you're creating a slightly ahead, way behind scenario imo, so unless you think you have massive fe, which you probably dont, I think this is pretty bad

[kmind]

Da GOAT - I have a ton of FE against the BB but the button was a tad tighter/better

BigPapi - My raise on the flop is for value not a bluff

Preflop in hand 2: It's 5 handed and the guy was playing 28/26 and I have seen him showdown SC UTG 6 handed.

hand 1 I guess just felt, I would flat vs. a reg but they seem bad

hand 2 I think flatting is correct
just because 3bing is EV+ doesn't mean flatting and owning him deep in position isn't more EV+
people love to put you on a pp so when the flop is K83 they insta-fold everything but a king or better when you raise IP

I know people at 50NL have massive leaks in 3b pots, but they also have massive leaks in raised pots as well and generally can't cope with raises thrown in here and there
and when they notice you doing this they overadjust and just start floating your raises ATC at which point you'll be raising top pair for value to check back on the turn so they can bluff at you on the river
and if they don't notice you'll just keep taking pots down by abusing your position

1) Against an aggro donk, i dont mind raising here since we have great equity and don't wanna face more bets on turn/river. Vs a passive donk I'd be more inclined to call since its more likely he checks turns. Vs both I expect to have little FE but our hand is strong. I'd also raise to like 17.

2) A9s plays decently postflop, I'd just flat preflop. Postflop is just spew, fold somewhere...
