    Default three marginal hands from yesterday REPOST

    I cant post in the original thread so making a new one (bug in the forum software it seems).

    100NL and 200NL. Comments on all streets appreciated.

    Hand 1. We've only played for about 20 hands but villain was clearly a spewmonkey. In hindsight this looks like a rly bad call, but I always follow instincts. His bet timing was telling me that he is fos.
    ================================================== =======
    Seat 3: BUTTON ($118.50 in chips)
    Seat 8: HERO [ JS,AD ] ($98.65 in chips)
    ANTES/BLINDS
    BUTTON posts blind ($0.50), HERO posts blind ($1).

    PRE-FLOP
    BUTTON bets $3, HERO calls $2.50.

    FLOP [board cards 7S,6H,10D ]
    HERO bets $5, BUTTON calls $5.

    TURN [board cards 7S,6H,10D,7C ]
    HERO bets $15, BUTTON bets $30, HERO calls $15.

    RIVER [board cards 7S,6H,10D,7C,7H ]
    HERO checks, BUTTON bets $80 and is all-in, HERO calls $60.15 and is all-in.




    Hand 2. Also one of the first hands in a session. Villain didn't seem like an experienced HU player and his turn bet here screams weakness and I have good equity and my range is ahead.
    ================================================== =======

    Seat 3: BB ($208.00 in chips)
    Seat 8: HERO [ JH,QS ] ($191.00 in chips)
    ANTES/BLINDS
    HERO posts blind ($1), BB posts blind ($2).

    PRE-FLOP
    HERO bets $6, BB calls $5.

    FLOP [board cards KS,AC,2S ]
    BB checks, HERO bets $11, BB bets $25, HERO calls $14.

    TURN [board cards KS,AC,2S,4S ]
    BB bets $33, HERO bets $159 and is all-in...




    Hand 3. Villain is weak calling station and was bluffing a lot. My image was solid. Nice turn, nice river and perfect stack sizes for a bluff, gotta stick it in here right?
    ================================================== =======
    Seat 3: BUTTON ($225.40 in chips)
    Seat 8: HERO [ 8H,3H ] ($304.20 in chips)
    ANTES/BLINDS
    BUTTON posts blind ($1), HERO posts blind ($2).

    PRE-FLOP
    BUTTON bets $5, HERO calls $4.

    FLOP [board cards 6S,4D,9H ]
    HERO checks, BUTTON bets $8, HERO bets $25, BUTTON calls $17.

    TURN [board cards 6S,4D,9H,9C ]
    HERO bets $45, BUTTON calls $45.

    RIVER [board cards 6S,4D,9H,9C,6H ] (pot $140)
    HERO bets $228.20 and is all-in... ($155 to call)

    No joke. Very creative comment thank you. I would have been happy to discuss why in fact they aren't bad but meh.

    FWIW
    Hand1: Villain had A8.
    Hand2: Villain folded.
    Hand3: Villain folded.

    well this thread sucked now that you posted results. also you said your bet timing tell was your reason for calling but you didnt tell us what it was so i dont know what kind of comments you want.

    OK, my reasoning.

    Hand 1: why are you making a hero call against unknown?
    Hand 2: this one might be good with a bit of history. I realized you have a lot of outs on turn so turn raise is good, almost standard. I don't like a flop float without history.
    Hand 3: calling pf with 83s is not good. And you said villain was a station, so why bluff him?

    Those plays are not that bad, but you need more history to execute them or at least some more reads. Sorry, I was in a cocky mood when I wrote the first comment.
    The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.
