Hand 1
You can bet little more, 60-65% he'll call with any ace.. he may even call 70-80%.
Try to at least bet like 50-60% minimum.. your bet on river is pretty weak.

On that note, if raised, fold. Since AT just made two pair and AJ is still there. Gutshot got made as well.
The hand you'll be getting max value from is AQ.. and you'd get good value from other aces this guy cannot let go of.


Hand 2
I think your line is fine and fold upon raise.

Hm solid response.

Hand 1: Id I agree 50-60% minimum is a good start. What do you think about maximum?

Near pot. You won't get value by overbetting in this kind of hand with your hand strength.

i think bet sizing in hand 1 should be bigger

hand 2 is fine imo

Zalf - Your referring to river? Or Turn and River?

hand 1 shove river.

bet more hand 1 and its actually aight to check back hand 2 since he runs into an ace a lot or folds to a bet. If he will always call with Kx then sure vbet

V. fish I would almost certainly try to value their stack by river.

i cant understand your small river bet in hand 1. what are you trying to get called by that wont call a shove? (note he has 85bb)

This, got to be thinking about best way we can leave ourselves a pot size bet on river against bad players

Hmmm yeah I guess hand 1 is pretty damn stupid.

For some reason I dont think I was thinking about the fact that he is a ultra fish according to ptr...when he is exactly as fishy as the guy in hand 2.

And because of this, basically all i saw in that moment was AQ, and didnt know if there were A9 and below that he can have. And the possibility of AJ,AT,KQ froze me.

yea if hand # 1 villan is fish hes showing up with alot more weak aces wich he wont be folding. I think you coulda squeezed some more value on your turn bet then that makes for a bigger bet on the river or a shove.
