    Default 25NL hands

    Getting my groove back on 25NL.Minor Leaks need to be solved,thats my aim for this week before my xmas break when i wont be able to play any poker.

    How would you play this hand?

    Hand 1:
    Couldnt remember his stats,as he left straight away.Whats your turn play here?He's been stealing my blinds the last few pots
    and is pretty loose.Im not folding here for sure.But whats my best option here?Putting him on Ax,but him raising on the turn?QJ seems possible,but flush is more likely if my reads were wrong

    Hand 1: Hmmm...hard to say without reads. Hard to lay down the set

    Hand 2: Fold is correct here.

    Hand 3: What's with all the smooth calling? You definately need to raise the flop.

    Hand 1: 3bet more preflop. As played certainly don't fold. As played, he only has $4 left and if he doesn't have a flush or a flush draw he might not put it in if another heart falls on the river, so I 3b the turn AI.

    Hand 2: I guess you should fold idk I don't think it would affect your long-term winrate that much either way.

    Hand 3: Raise the flop bet to around $2.5 and fold to a 3b. If he calls shut down. He's shortstacked but not committed yet.

    A fold here is +EV against the super nit. There's no way we're winning with one pair here. Against a 35/12, snap call, IMHO.

    hand 1 bet wet flop harder. What flushes are likely, given you can see the ace and the king? AK/TT/AT/ JQ with one heart are all likely enough - i shove over.

    hand 2. Bet turn harder and river becomes a snap call. Folding as played is just as good as calling as played.

    hand 3 raise flop bet to $2.25, fold to action.

    hand 1 I 3b to $3, and pot the flop because if he missed he won't pay another dime, but if he has a draw he's paying pot for sure
    hand 2 your SPR is like 10 so that's probably fine to pot the flop (drawy so he'll pay it off), pot the turn and you're almost all in on the river anyway
    if the other guy was deep like you, I'd play pot control
    hand 3 I want to ask the other people why they like raising the flop
    I do it every time to bitch-slap the people who donk a small amount hoping for folds

    folds are exactly 0 EV, kb coolman
