    Default 10NL FR - two hands wondering if spew

    ______________________________________
    Hand No.1

    In this first hand with pocket aces, is it reasonable for me to bet the turn as I did, with four hearts on board? Is my call of his all-in reasonable afterwards? I figured I was getting over 4:1 and he could be pushing with a big pair or on a bluff or draw, and I also had the nut flush draw.

    Hand No.2

    In this hand I thought that I would try a shove with an over, a gutshot, and a nut flush draw. Was my push pure spew?

    hand no1. not too spewy since you have the Ah, but i'd consider c/cing a small bet or c/fing since we're multiway here

    hand no2. check back the turn and hope to improve. 6s is not the card you want to two barrel with

    I'd call the shove, odds are reasonable. He may hit a straight flush sometimes, but there may be times when he holds KhQx and is shoving thinking he may improve enough. I think there's too much invested to fold here.

    Hand 2.
    I agree, I'd just take the free card and hope to improve. Maybe we'll get some money out of him at the river if he holds the Qs

    Straight Flush? hahaha, i dont think you worry about straight flushes. i'd pay him off to see it if he had one

    I worry about straight flush draws when they take potential outs away from us.

    Hand 1:

    Two villians call the flop. On the turn the most obvious draw gets there. With one opponent, I would go ahead and bet it. With two opponents, it's time for a little pot control....I would check the turn.

    DA9ers do you go to SU? Have you ever been to turning stone?

    Sorry to go a little off topic but I saw the orange SU and thought it was cool there's another person in this forum who maybe goes to my school or is at least a Syracuse fan (#8 mens basketball right now)
