I don't like all 3 hands.

Hand 1: I call here pre-flop vs TAgg. You have the exact hand he's going to rep on the flop.

Hand 2: A and an unlikly 7 have you drawing dead. With no read, I don't play for stacks here. I think we need air or at least the A to want to raise this turn.

Hand 3: Check the turn behind unless you know he's a chump.

[Lukie]

hand 1: Preflop you have a huge edge against his range and should be 3-betting back at him the large majority of the time here. Stack sizes make this hand a bit awkward since it's hard to get it allin with 2 bets post-flop. Fast forwarding a bit, on the river, I really think we have to call this. 44/77 are really the only hands we're worried about, and I think we're splitting with AK a good amount of the time here.

I want to make it close to $50 straight pre, pot the flop, and pot the turn all-in, but I'm a crazy son-of-a-bitch, and that might not work for you if you're sane.


hand 2: Can't you just tell that you're beat? Sure, he may be bluffing, but this is a hell of a board to be bluffing on, and that's all you beat.


hand 3: I think it's fine, although I'd check behind the turn here -sometimes-, like Fnord said. Certainly not always, though. Sometimes I'd call the river, but you're really only hoping for something like 9T or that villain is being an overaggro donkey, and it's usually not worth it.

Hand 1) I play preflop like this all the time. I wan't to be able to win unimproved. Reraising is very +EV IMO.

I like the post flop. Betting the river is good for AQ value but I can't see AQ pushing like this. Even though there is few hands that beat us, I like to fold.

Hnad 2) bet/3bet flop: Who likes?

As played call turn and reevaluate.

Hand 3) Check turn, call river.

Hand 2)

i call more than i reraise in hand 1. reraising an UTG raise with AK in the blinds isn't that fun, unless he is noticably LAG.
