I'm not sure if I should make this kind of plays on this level (nl100) but I felt that against this opponent I can do so. I was playing pretty loose at this table, raising and re-raising preflop a lot. I felt that he could've 3-bet me with any 2 cards since I was on the button. I decided to call and se what flop and turn brings and I was ready to take down this pot if he showed any weakness. Plus effective stacks were about 130bb so I had some implied odds as well. I missed the flop but knew that he would bet any flop and his hand didn't matter here at all. There was also a good chance that he had QQ, JJ, TT so I was pretty sure that he would slow down on turn with these hands. The only hands I had to be worried about were KK, AA and maybe AK (well 99 is also possible). I decided to call and see what a turn brings. Queen of diamonds came on turn and it wasn't the best card I could get. He checked. Now I wasn't sure whether I should bet or not but I figured that most probably he wouldn't check a set in this case and he was very likely to fold AK and AA in this spot (unless he had A of diamonds). His range at this point was pretty wide and I figured that taking a shot at this pot would be +ev. I bet 50 into a $75 pot and he almost ran out of time before folding. Now when I'm thinking about this hand more deeply I think that it probably was a bad idea to pull out such a play without a better knowledge of my opponent (especially at this level). But luckily my judgment was right this time. I would love to hear any comments on this hand so feel free to post your thoughts.

Fancy play syndrome? Probably. But he was playing pretty wild and I figured that he could bet this way with any 2 cards. I checked the flop since there was no point in betting, as I would get called only by weaker hands. It took me a lot of time to make a decision here and I decided to call (well I actually raised him $8 more) and it turned out to be a bad move.

This is an interesting hand. I got Q3s on the BB and with 2 limpers I checked behind. Flop was great for me - OESD + FD. I raised the initial bettor and he minireraised me. I thought about repopping him but since there was another caller I thought that I might be facing a higher flush draw. I decided to just call and turn was a good card for me. I'm not sure how would I play if another club came on turn (or river). From now on, I was betting 4th and 5th street for value and he called me pretty lightly (probably thanks to my image. I think he must have put me on a missed FD.

Villain made a pretty good call. He was a pretty wild player and I thought that there's a pretty good chance that my hand was good on flop and turn (probably should've raised flop then). On the river a good bluff card came and I raised him. He called me instantly. Probably shouldn't have made this play especially since I had a bad image and he was tilting a bit. Won't happen again (at least let's hope so).

Pre-flop and flop is standard. I think turn as well. The only options are pushing and check/folding. But since I had a pretty agressive (and maybe a little bad as well) image I figured that he might've called flop with hands like 99, TT, JJ, AQ and that there was a good chance that he would fold them if I bet on turn again. I still had a nut flush draw and two over cards so I think I made a good play. If I had a better image I think he might've even folded KK in this spot since he seemed to be a solid player.

How could he just call the river? Anyway I just called his flop raise with and intention to check-raise on turn. Luckily for me he checked behind (but I still think my play would be correct in the long term). I fired on the river for 3/4 of the pot and he just called. Thanks for saving me $50 mate.

Some tilt? Maybe. But this guy was betting/calling/raising everytime I missed or when I was bluffing and folding everytime I had a hand (and he was sooo bad). I figured that a check/call is better in this spot as he will probably bet any hand in this case. On turn I bet out but he miniraised me so I had to fold. Any thoughts?

Standard? Or maybe I should just put him allin on turn without check-raising? He only had a 50bb stack at the beginning of the hand.

Took me some time to make a decision but the board was pretty draw he would bet theavy and I knew that these donks don't bet out and even 3-bet allin with flopped trips/sets so his most likely holding was a SD or FD. The only hands I was worried about were overpairs (small and medium stacks love to just call with them without reraising preflop). I wasn't happy to see a third spade come on the river but he showed KT. Ship it.

Probably another stupid play by me (and I got lucky this time). The two of us were playing pretty wild against each other. I knew that he would bet the flop with any two if I check so with my two overcards I decided to call and bet almost any turn (yeah, fancy play syndrome). It was a good card - 3rd diamond so I bet out hoping he would fold thinking that I might be holding a flush. He called and a 4th diamond came on the river. I knew that there's a very small chance that he would call me if I bet so I checked, trying to induce a bluff from him. Fortunetaly he almost insta-bet 2/3 of the pot and folded to my push.

Well this is a pretty standard spot but I seem to have a lot of problems while dealing with similar situations. Any comments appreciated, especially regarding my turn play (bet? if yes then how much? just check behind like I did for pot control?) and what's my line on the river most of the times (what bets should I call? when should I fold? etc.).
I think I've never posted that many hands, with such lengthy comments but I decided that if I want to become really good at poker, then I need to start spending more time on studying the game, analyzing hands, strategies etc. Ok let's finally play some poker now.

That's a nice post. I'm to stupid to give much comments on the hands, except that I think that most of them is played fine, but I'd love to hear what some better players thinks about them. |

8. Looks good, he would not call you without a hand (i think) and you induced bluff. Max value here.
11. I like that check - it keeps the pot small. River with 1:2 odds is a call, sometimes you will see AX here 
Picked only two hands ;P
