couple of fun ones from fannit

[AlexMartin]

 Hand 1.   level 6 or so.

playing 26k, average 17, villain 24k. Villain knows who i am but iv never played him live before. he joined about 1/2 hour ago and has been pretty active which iv commeneted on and he responded in kind. His image and mine are both pretty open. He seems pretty comfortable and familair with donkaments.

He opens to 850 @ 150/300/25 from MP. I 3b on button to 2100 w KK after a bit. He pauses then makes it 5700. Optimal play now is?




Hand 2. level 9.


Blinds 400/800/50 i think.


Hero, 72k, villain 75k, average, 34k.


Hero is Jonathan Gale, i dont know the player and thats not John Gale. He just won a huge pot and is still stacking chips. No history.


Joe Grech playing 21k limps UTG. UTG+1 i raise to 2500 w AKs. Villain insta reraises to 9950. Joe folds.  We should?

Hand 1 call
Hand 2 pass...if ur trying to tell me what i think your trying to tell me!

[easypickings]

Hand one, flat. Pray for a king on the flop, or an ace to make things more simple. If that doesn't come, it's a real toughie.

I would have thought his range is something like (AA, KK, 50% QQ, 50% some weaker hand or bluff) It's definitely a contender to pass on a low flop.

Hand two, muck. His move looks really strong, and hats off to him if his hand is not. You have raised UTG+1, and the stacking chips should make a difference with anything but a really canny player.

[thetank]

I chuck hand 2. Mr Grech UTG could wake up with some scary shit, and Mr. Gale would need some strong stuff to 3-bet while he's still stacking chips.

[action man]

hand 1, i dont mind shove or call, im never ever passing on any flop without an ace.

hand 2 meh fold

[TheChipPrince]

It's definitely a contender to pass on a low flop.

If were folding on a 973 flop we may aswell bin it now and save ourself 3600...

Is trapping likely to work here though? It looks like he's gone far enough to stick it all in if we reraise/shove so why not get it in now.

What kind of flop are we looking for to trap him with?

K high if he's got AK, Q high if he's got AQ or undercards if he's on JJ / QQ. Can't see him being in the hand with many other two that we're beating. If for some reason he has got some other drawing type hand or a lower pair surely we are unlikely to stack him off unless he puts us squarely on AK when we lead/raise the raggy flop. It looks to me like we are more likely to stack ourselves off here than him.

Also what's the plan when an ace comes down. We obviously have to slow down and so does he with any hand we're beating so the trap fails and it comes down to taking a shot at it that could go horribly wrong.

Seems to me like there's more that can go wrong than can go right if we try to get clever and trap so just get it in now.

So we flat call hoping to either hit a set or see and ace so that we can easily fold?

If it's undercards we assume that he's hit the set and pass anyway.

You might as well be doing exactly the same betting pattern with pocket twos.

[Moorman1]

Hand 1 pass to the 4 bet, what else can he have?

Hand 2 stick it in Gale's eye

[EvilPie]

Hand 2 stick it in Gale's eye

How much of it should we stick in his eye?

Are we talking all of it?

I dont think he cares as long as it goes deep into his eye.
