NL200 @ Party

Hero:$230
Villian: $250

A few limpers.... then

Hero: AKo

Hero in LP raises to $12, 2 limpers call

Flop: A Diamond A Heart K Club Pot: $40

Villian checks, MP checks, Hero checks

Checked here because I'm holding the nuts and want to make sure they catch something.

Turn 5 Heart Pot: $40

Villian bets $16, MP folds, Hero Calls

River 9 Spade Pot: $72

Villian bets $30, Hero.....

I have the nuts but how do I get paid???
Min-raise to $30?
Decent raise to $80-$100?
Push?



Edited to add another hand:

Hero: $240
Villian: $150

Folds to CO who raises to $8, Hero in SB raises to $20 w/ KK, BB folds, Villian calls

Flop: K Diamond K Club 6 Heart Pot: $40

Again, I flop the nuts.

Hero leads for $10, Villian calls.

I wanted to look weak so a 1/4 pot bet should do it. Only way I lose this hand is to running aces if he has AA.

Turn: 9 Club Pot: $60

Hero bets $20, Villian calls

What in the hell can he be calling with??? Pockets???

River: 2 Diamond Pot: $100

Villian only has $100...

So hero?????





Edit: Gotta add one more... weird session.


Hero is dealt A Diamond Q Diamond in the BB.

$6 raise EP, SB calls, Hero calls

Flop: A Heart K Heart Q Club

SB checks, Hero bets $10, EP calls, SB calls.

Turn: Q Heart Pot: $48

Awesome card. Fills me up and puts the flush on the table.

SB bets $20, Hero calls, CO folds.

Called with hopes of raising the river.

River: 3 Club Pot: $88

SB bets $30.... Hero????

Easy to play poker when the deck hits you in the face Laughing

First hand I raise to $120.

Second hand I check the turn to try and get him to bluff. But, in your position I bet 40$ and hope he pushes.

Third hand, raise to $120, depending on stack sizes. I like to bet about 1/3- 1/2 the villains chips, hoping they move them all-in.

I suck at NLHE ring games but here goes ...

First hand: maybe min-raise ... chances are he has the case ace, maybe he filled up on one of those other cards? He was betting so small at the pot he was probably trying to get money out of you? Otherwise I'd say anywhere between $80 - $90 is a good raise.

2nd: Maybe bet $30 on the turn, and then $50 - $60 on the river, I doubt you can get his whole stack, but if you do, more power to you.

3rd: Damn your opponents weakly bet into big pots, make it $100.

Well shit... no one noticed the bad beat in disguise.

First two hands I pushed in and they folded.

Third hand I pushed and got called.... by J Heart T Heart for the Royal.
