A couple of 10NL hands

[Outlaw]

Hand #1- Villain running 37/0 with 2.33AF. About 50% of his showndown hands are suited connectors. Is this an easy fold or a snapcall? The more I think about it the more I think this is an easy call.. I didn't have much invested is the main reason I folded.. if he raised I was planning to shove.. so wth? lol

Hand #2- Villain is a reg running 28/21 with 3.0 AF. His river overbet screamed flush as I'm sure he put me on an Ace for the wheel. I woulda have done the same thing or shoved a flush in this spot. Should I have called or let it go with little money invested? It seems to be these spots I normally pay people off too much. I guess I shoulda have cbet the flop or raised the turn.

1. Wow this is a pretty annoying spot. I prolly fold aswell just because you have like zero (1) outs if you're beat and like you say you have little invested.

I mean his range for doing this imo is 88 99 JJ QQ KK AA 7x.

Given his preflop stats I don't think we can disocunt overpairs from his range and that makes it a fold imo.

Also another slight thing to consider is there could potentially be a trapper with a random 7 in the blinds although unlikely.

2. This is pretty fine - You cant exactly fold the turn or rep anything by raising. I would c bet this flop though - simply because the calling outa the bb range for donks at this level contains lots of broadways and aces that also missed this flop - jus fire like 3/5ths pot then shutdown.

why do we want to cbet again?

i cbet in position after that check on the flop for sure.. shut down to any more action though

[texa8]

sorry.. that is with regard to the second hand!

[bigspenda73]

I see your point, don't know why I missed that

[chincheck]

why do we want to cbet again?

#1 It's +EV.
#2 To give villains on draw hands bad odds to call;
#3 Gives you an idea of where you stand.

There's many more reasons, but that's the only 3 I can think of off the top.

Justify #1 given OPs read. And #3 is nevvvvver a reason to bet. Hell, even #2 is slightly misleading since we're drawing ourselves against almost anything he'll call our cbet with (we're barely even a favourite against a FD since we aren't paired).

OP, hand 1 is pretty close, I'd probably flip a coin to decide. 2 is an easy fold on the river unless u had a read that villain is a bluffy retard.

I didn't cbet hand #2 because because I read him on a mid PP or high cards, both which might float that flop.. I planned to cbet the turn but then he throws that minbet in. I thought maybe he was slowplaying a big hand and if I hit the flush I might stack him. He probably hit the wheel as well but the overbet kept me from finding out.. if he had the flush he likely valuebets right?

Of course at these stakes I see a lot of people overbet as a "makeup" bet to try and get more value.

After thinking about it awhile, he probably had the ace high flushdraw on the turn and was blockbetting.. then hit the wheel on the river and was like. eureka! A straight! He'll never put me on that! 3 times pot! Of course it could be Ac6x and I'm dead anyways..

At best I think I'm calling for a split pot.. never a good idea.

#3 Gives you an idea of where you stand.

No. thats not a reason why we cbet. it is however, a desirable effect that comes from cbetting, but its not a reason in itself

[bigspenda73]

yay at least a few people have listened to me

we're behind a flush draw, flush draw has 15 outs against us
check the flop, fire non-straight non-flush card on the turn
