    Default two hands for review...

    hand one...assume villain is typical micro-donk. he takes some hands too far, but will also play almost any A in raised pots. whats your default play, and why?

    you hold AKo. you raised pre. pot is HU and about 10bb's. flop comes 5 7 T r. you cbet oop 7bb's and get called. turn is an A. you usually?


    hand two...same villain.

    you hold 99. you raise pre. HU pot, same size. same flop. same cbet. same call. same turn card. you??


    i am looking for help here. seems the A is a scare card a lot, and tends to kill action. is this what we want? or do we want to induce a bluff in hand one? in hand two, which is the best way to end a pot now? or do we resign to being beat and c/f oop?
    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 Pot is about 24 bbs right?
    I bet about about 3/4 pot which is about 18 bb's, However I'm not the greatest at extracting value... However if he's a typical micro donk there is about a 75% chance he's got a weak Ace and will call, there's about a 15% chance he raises and the remaining 10% times he doesnt have an Ace but is married to middle pair and will pay you off anyway.

    Hand #2
    With hand 1 in mind, I bet about half pot and it will scream immediately if he has an Ace by a call or a fold, maybe the raise. If he calls re-evaluate the river and I'd safely either bet/fold or check/fold.

    ?wut

    1: Bet, we beat lots of hands which will call us down.
    2: c/f - c/f isn't some big weakness thing when he won't bet anything we beat.

    Agree with Ash since this deals with microstakes. I think they still call with a T here a lot or any AceRag shit and only think about their hand. I prob wouldn't cbet hand 2 though.
