Some hands at 5nl

[Skeeno]

Just beginning to grind out the cash after concentrating solely on MTTs/SNGs or donking about at cash like a clown. Anyhow thoughts on the below if anyone has time would be appreciated, thanks


1. Villian is 66/8/1 over 40 hands and a fish. Should have bet the flop obviously.

2. Villain in question is 22/6/1 48 hands - this was the first time he's check raised. Pretty easy fold or am I giving him to much respect. Mind I think on reflection a check raise is usually beating second pair.

3. Just didn't have a clue what to do here, a wtf hand, Villian in question is a fish and talked down to me after I raised a previous hand and he subsequently shoved turn - 33/6/2 over 30 hands, flop aggression 0.3/ river aggression 4 - does this make any difference? Does he ever call the flop with only the Q? QK maybe I guess.

Hand 1: Bet that flop, 5nl people aren't folding for 10 cents, plus you have to build up the pot. Ship it on river, you probably have the best hand if he has that Jack.

Hand 2: Not much you can do there, fold.

Hand 3: I don't know the right answer, I'll let someone else weigh in, but I would say that a Q is definitely in his range.

Hand 4: I think this one you're a slight dog, but it's a coin flip.

Hand 5: standard

Here's another - villain is 13/6 over 20 hands or so, not enough of a read

Hero is in thought?

Cheers Arcadian, yeah knew that first hand I should bet at it and bloat the pot, what's your line as played though as far as played and he raises turn, repop there?

hand 1 I have no doubt he has an 8 after his river raise
c/c seems way too passive I think this is fine although kind of a screwy line to take (donk/call)

hand 2 this is fine his range is Qx and 5x and some air, some flush draws, but you're screwed like most of the time

hand 3 yes he calls with just a queen, and also I bet turn to squeeze a little bit of value if he has a flush draw, and then look at my pot odds if he raises me...

hand 4 fold because of the SPR
I'd stick it in if he had .80, not $2

hand 5 super duper standard
