Boring hand

Results 1 to 3 of 3

    Default Boring hand

    MP1 is loose and weak. I give him credit for hand pre, he is only raising pre with 5%, probably QQ+, AK.

    Villain is only c-betting 45%, so I'm pretty sure QQ+ is his postflop range, but maybe AcKc as well
    So I have 35.47% vs his range and I'm getting 2.23:1, but if villain has QQ+ and I hit my draw I should be able to get something for my effort, implied odds and all, but how much do I need to get here to make it a +EV play?

    On the turn I want to raise his bet, but that generally sets the alarms off right. If I raise the turn then he thinks I either hit my set, str8, two pair or air. So he may call and c/f any river that he doesn't improve on, which I think is slightly less profitable then just calling and letting him make another value bet on the river. The only hand that I have him on post flop that can beat us on the river is AcKc if he hits a club, but I really don't think he has this when he fires the 2nd barrel on the turn.

    River card isn't the greatest, but I got to raise anyways, I figure a good value raise that gets shoved over by AA is good. Do you think I can raise more here?
    Grinding my way to 100NL, 1 2NL bb at a time.

    raising the turn doesn't set the alarms off as much as the half of the deck that 3-flushes or 4-straights the board

    raising turn is kind of lol alarm bell, but he's a weak player so just raise when you hit
    even if you raise half pot to 1.20 on the turn, that makes the pot 3 bucks on the river that you can shove

    also bad raise amount on the river
    even half pot raise is more than $2 and that makes me want to jam since you have like $3 left and that's smaller than a pot raise
