    hand 1 call.
    hand 2 you have 25bb so i think we can flat here and set mine...know its a bit stationy but our stack is big enough to play one or two flops.  having said that knowing villain he does raise very wide i so i reckon that a shove gets thru a decent percentage of the time.

    hand 1 bet the flop bet the turn shove the river, my guess is you both end with same hand or he has a set, couldnt put him on A 10 due to calling turn ( however bet the flop and turn u remove this hand completely )
    i would value bet first one so in this case shove
    hand 2 just call and set mine you have a playable stack

    edit* just realise two nines on board. just call here! however if you had bet flop then play way i said above imo

    scotty i agree had mum on phone screaming at me as i played the 88 hand, very annoying as i think i would usuall flat here
  • edited December 2010
    Hand 1 - make the call. No point in raising here as there's a chance you could be behind to a higher straight or FH.

    Hand 2 - I don't know anything about this oppo so with no reads I think I'm more inclined to flat & see what happens on the flop. If they show any weakness on that flop then you've got a good chance to get them off the hand.

    we only have 21bb in hand 2 id rather shove tbh we can get him to fold flips which is fun

    Hand 1: Call

    Hand 2: v.read dependant, if he;s raising plenty from all positions then definately NOSH-SHOVE, if he's tight...dunno its marginal....either SHOVE or FOLD is fine....i dont think u can flat here, neither of u are deep enough...

    the other option is to stop-n-go, make the decision pre that ur gettin ur chips in whatever, flat it n re-raise shove flop whatever the cards/texture and hope there he's missed or there's overcards to his Pair... say u call flat the 900, makes the pot 2250, if he cbets it'll be around 1200-1500, if u shove ur remaining 5.5k or so u got plenty of Fold equity

    Ok hand1) i called and opponent had A10 jammy so and so :)

    hand 2) you can see the results, as for reads i have played them alot and i am definately ahead of their 3 betting range and feel they would fold out flips eg. KQ/ KJ hence why the shove. I prefer the flat now as i rushed my decision not because of what they had just saves me getting trapped
