Hand 1
The 3-bet from SB is the correct play. A call pf gives the BB good odds to call with just about any two cards. The raise makes it easier to get the hand HU. As for the river, I agree with Xas... check-call. You are either way ahead or way behind.
Hand 2
I agree with Xas on this hand, too (no surpise... he's awesome). Just one thing to add -- some 2+2ers will often bet/raise scare cards (e.g., 3-flushes and paired boards) out of general principle. A lot of books recommend folding to a raise or reraise when scare cards hit, but I think that this advice is a bit dated. I'd only fold if I knew the player was an unimaginative rock.Statistics: Posted by Kuso — Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:51 pm
