tough session

I played 1500 hands today and ended up being stuck about $55....here are a few hands from the session...I just couldn't see to get anything going and every c bet I made was getting raised or check raised.


Hand 1 - just a crappy river

Hand 2- easy fold?

Hand 3 - checked the turn hoping to control the pot...but i don't think he makes that bet with AK so I am pretty sure I am beat here

h2: I don't think this is an automatic fold; it depends on how much of an idiot the villain is. If he's not an idiot, then automatic fold.

h3: Yeah, you're probably beat but betting there would have made it more certain

Hand 2: Player dependent here, tough spot and I'd probably fold to a non complete donk.

Hand 3: I like a bet/fold line here.

Hand 1 you said it, nothing much you can do.

Hand 2 I have to agree this is an obvious fold with the 3 suited board.

Hand 3 Again you have to fold here. He has overbet the pot and would say that he possibly have a set and wants to bet you off a draw heavy board. What would you have done if he'd bet smaller.

Hand 2: player dependant, but it doesn't look good.

Hand 3: ack, tough one.

i have some questions about this guy and what hand you put him on.

> could you eliminate AA/KK because it didn't go 4-bets preFlop?

> would he call that preflop with middle pair, like 88/77?

i can't put him on a small pair because he missed the flop and you bet out. if he had 66's and weathered that, he's a numbskull.

would he have called you with T9s preflop?

that's the draw that hit.

i ran pokerStove with this villan range {KK+,JJ-77,AcKc}, and it came out 55/45 for the bad guy.

take AA/KK/AKs out of there {QQ-77}, and it's 62/38 - you, so your read is important. add a JTs back into the mix, and you're still 65/35.

that turn bet doesn't seem like he knows he's ahead, and can rope you in for your stack if he asks for some chips from you.

it seems more like he thinks you missed and has to put it on you to get out of there without further danger (JJ, TT, or even 99?).

final word: i cannot come in cold and suggest you stack off with TP/TK. not bettin the turn is what threw it into a tizzy. i'll call it :"player dependant".
