Seven hands for comment

[drtofu66]

******* Hand 1 ********

Starting with 2 AK hands. CO here is 14%/5.5%/2.7 over 147 hands; knows what he's doing. I couldn't see him reraising with anything but AA or KK-- especially that 3.5x reraise so I pussed out.

******* Hand 2 ********

Villain is 42%/12%/1.2 over 117 hands. Against a tight or reasonable player, I'd respect the minraise/AI reraise. Worth the gamble against this maniac? You kind of have to include AQ/AJ in his range, which puts us slightly ahead, right? I felt like such a freaking fish making this call.

******* Hand 4 ********

Villain is 26%/6.5%/1 over 37 hands.
Did I raise too much here? I thought it was pretty standard. I don't think he's folding any kind of flush so WTF is he doing here, drawing to the straight with 97??.

******* Hand 6 ********

No reads on villain, I didn't see any advantage to rasing anywhere here, even though he's weak betting.

1st hand i could go either way
2nd dude fold that shit wait for a better position
3rd p/f was okay but your flop bet was too weak and i duno about that huge re-raise, duno about the all in on turn.. maybe 1/2-2/3 pot
4th i think it was played right.. i would probably smooth call the turn and c-raise river or c-call if another spade comes out
5th either c-raise or lead out stronger on flop too many draws/players maybe a little stronger on turn up 2 you
6th raise flop to drive out f/d or get info
7th bet a little stronger on flop if raised fold

1) If you don't know what you want to hit the flop, your best off folding.
2) Must fold. No way he does that with anything other than KK/AA. If he does, more power to him.
3) Absolutely fine. If you only bet $10 you're giving him odds to call (assuming he's on a flush draw).
4) A low flush will fold that. (I would if I had a T high flush).
5) You can always try checking the river hoping he'll toss in a bet thinking you've missed.
6) Given your stack size (you should really be closer to a full buy in) you must push the river. The only hand he has that beats you is a flush, and that's doubtful. Way too passive.
7) Villian wanted to fold, but you wouldn't let him. I don't put him on a T, but he puts you on AK (or so). 1/2 pot bet on turn/river would have gotten him to fold. If I called that bet with JT and a K fell on the turn and you bet 1/2 pot after a preflop raise, I'd have to fold.
