  1. This situation in 1-2 is money. you're over thinking this at this level. always bet for huge value. if he has AA or KK here oh well(cost of doing business). but you'll see this with AK Ax at this level, weird gutshots all kinds of stuff that doesn't make sense. I think calling the cr was probably best.( I wouldn't have hated a 3 bet to get it all in; or try too). when we get checked to on the turn 125 is way to small. should have bet more like 225-250. and try and get the rest on the river. you'll find this more profitable at this level. you'll find you get called nearly same amount with this sizing at this level

  2. LMAO, I put him on AQ as well. Quick calls are indicative of medium hands. Generally check in the dark is medium as well. I like a shove on the river, as that is the best bluffing size, so use it for value as well. If you are up against a better hand, you are freerolling yourself when you bet less than a shove, since you are calling it off and rarely, if ever, inducing a bluff shove.

  3. pretty stupid of a line to bet 200 into 800 than fold for 300 more lol

  4. I like just calling the flop check-raise, because Hero have position, which makes it nice and easy to get stacks in on the river, even if Villain stop betting. So no need to fastplay and potentially scare him away on a pretty dry board. But stacks have to get in on the river, so the turn bet need to be larger to set it up for an easy river shove.

    And if he have something silly like AQ and fold to the river shove, thats ok, because you got your value on the flop and turn. Its not a goal to let your opponent always get to showdown. In fact the opposite is the case, because it leaves him guessing and feeling bad about the hand, if he had to make a big fold and wonder, if you bluffed him.

  5. Oh man this type of play where he check raise the flop with just top hair after raising pre confuse the hell out of me when players do this kind of stuff because I would never ever consider doing this with that hand on this flop. But the bad players do it.

  6. I lost 2k I had QQ flop Q26 he raises i go all in he calls with KK turn 3 river loveing K

  7. This caller is very smart. Asking the right question “what is this guy going to call me with.” well played. Wouldn’t quibble over the value sizing here – 140 or 200 is still money in the bank, he thought it out perfectly and understood the hand completely.

  8. Villain shot his mojo wad early then shut it down and turned into calling station. Missed optimum value bet on river demonstrates caller's "monsters under the bed" syndrome is still alive and well on dynamic boards.
