2nl 6max few hands

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default 2nl 6max few hands

    BB was 43/7. I've been pretty aggy at table and bullying villain for a while now. Is this weak?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($4.44)
    SB ($1.78)
    BB ($1.01)
    Hero (UTG) ($2.43)
    MP ($1.94)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7, 7
    Hero raises to $0.12, 3 folds, BB calls $0.10

    Flop: ($0.25) J, 6, 2 (2 players)
    BB bets $0.25, Hero folds

    Total pot: $0.25 | Rake: $0

    Same villain as above at CO (43/7) and UTG was 45/6, I've been aggy and raising pots away from both of them. Bet river?

    Hero (Button) ($2.47)
    SB ($2.02)
    BB ($2.69)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 8
    UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, CO raises to $0.04, Hero calls $0.04, 1 fold, BB calls $0.02, UTG calls $0.02

    Flop: ($0.17) 4, 5, 6 (4 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, CO bets $0.12, Hero raises to $0.40, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.40, CO calls $0.28

    Turn: ($1.37) J (3 players)
    UTG checks, CO checks, Hero checks

    River: ($1.37) 8 (3 players)
    UTG checks, CO checks, Hero checks

    Total pot: $1.37 | Rake: $0.05


    Similar Situation to above with same villain at 45/6. I used to always check down these spots at FR, but been betting them more in 6max.

    1. Yeah I think this is too weak here and folding has to be wrong given your reads. If you've been bullying villain this makes it more likely he'll try to take a stand - my guess is his donk bet is exactly that. Let's think about this, if villain percieves you as over aggro maniac bully when he hits a piece against you he most likely checks to either c/r flop or "slowplay" his hand. I would call and we'll be able to evaluate how strong he is by his turn play, but I think we're usually ahead here.

    2. This is fine imo

    3. Don't understand why you're betting this river. His range here looks really weak so I think our hand is usually good. If he's checking a weak club to us it's likely to c/c a bet at 2NL I think. So basically we're only getting called by better hands. If he's somehow got a 6 in his hand this is the only thing we really fold out often enough to bet. But this isn't much of his range at all and even then there's no garuntee he'll even pass this.

    I think if you post your ranges you'll get a much better feel on how to play these hands more correctly. I do not like any of the hands fwiw, but would like for you to make your ranges first.

    Ok, that's what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure if villain leading out like that meant strength.

    Ok, I'll give it a shot. This is stupid , but when you say ranges you mean what cards I think they'll play against me pf right? If that's the case:

    Hand 1. Any pp, Axs, 67s+, j10o+

    Hand 2. I think CO is raising w/ any pp, a8s+, j10o+, and utg is playing the same but maybe adding smaller suited connectors

    Hand 3. Same as hand 1.

    getting my swell on
    1) i would call flop. i expect him to shut down a lot on the turn.
    2) i really dont like your flop raise. what does it accomplish?
    3) i dont mind a bet but i would probably go pretty small.
