Hand #2...you need to reraise more than $7. The rest of the question cant be answered without stack sizes.

Key here is making sure you get as much money as possible when ahead (since I think you're losing your stack when you're behind)
Possible hands for villain: overpair (88-TT, 36 combos), higher set (66, 77, 12 combos), straight (45s, 8 combos), straight draw (89s, 8 combos), two pair (67s, 4 combos)
My worry with raising all-in is that you'll knock the overpair out but leave the better hands in. The draw only exists and hits 4% of the time (and an overpair hits a set 4% of the time).
In the heat of battle, I'm pretty sure I'd raise all in, but as an alternative line, how about calling the raise, then betting say $30 on turn and $40 on the river? He may not be able to get away from his overpair.
Hand 2:
Yuck! I wish I knew what to do here
Check behind on the turn, and call any sized bet on a non-club river?
That way you might get bets from AK/busted flush as well as a set. If a club falls and he doesn't have it, he might check a set here fearing you do.

The second hand I thought the size of your raise out of the BB was a little small. Their is $8 in the pot and $1 to you when it is your action and you made it $7 to go so now the pot is $15 and your opponents are getting 3-1 on their money *minimum*. Making it $12 to go might have been a stronger play because now pairs like 10-10 can't really follow you to the flop because your $10 raise has killed any implied odds they hoped to have, assuming you or them are still sitting around $100. Should you get a caller with this raise it will likely only be one and the pot will be about the same size on the flop.
Anyways, as it happens, you have 1 person with you on the turn and $81 in the pot. The answer here is really going to depend on how much you had going into this hand and how much you have left on the turn. You want to bet enough to take away any odds a draw has, but still be strong so your opponent doesn't try and push you off your hand (And I think that if my opponent bet the full pot on the flop and only half the pot on the turn I would see the move as weak or possibly trying to trap me) and you are also trying not to lose your stack to a set here, so you don't want to pot commit yourself with your bet either. How much do you have left on the turn? If it is less than 80 you are likely going to have to get all your chips in on the turn.

The second hand is a little bit tougher. I'm having a tough time putting villian on a hand, and the reason why is because most min raisers have some sort of a pair. I don't think he has KK, which means the only set he could have hit is TT. Otherwise he would dump any other pair on the flop. There is an outside chance he could have AK but if he was halfway decent he would know you have AA (or KK), either of which he is almost drawing dead against. Regardless, one thing I would have done is lead for a little less than the size of the pot. Although there is a flush draw, you shouldn't be too worried since they called your re-raise preflop. People rarely call re-raises without wired pairs, unless it's with AK. Either way, with the
![[Kc]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kc.gif "The King of Clubs")
out and possibly the ![[Ac]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ac.gif "The Ace of Clubs")
out if you have it, it's unlikely that either of them are on the flush draw. If you lead for about $20, then you can probably lead again on the turn for about 1/2 pot and get away from it, but as it is I would probably check the turn if you both have fairly deep stacks, or go ahead and push if either of you doesn't have that much left.Statistics: Posted by Mad Genius — Thu Dec 30, 2004 10:08 am

First hand I am dealt 3s 3c in late position. 3 limp into me and I follow suit as well as the button. The SB makes it 5 to go. BB folds and it is folded back to me. I call as does the BB.
18 in the pot
7h 3d 6c
This is where things get interesting. SB checks to me and I fire 10 at the pot expecting a raise from the SB who is a bit short stacked with 35 dollars. The Button raises it to 20. The SB pushes his 35 dollars in. Now it is back to me. What is your play? Results later.
Second hand.
Dealt AA in the big blind. UTG calls and UTG+1 min raises. 3 people call to me. I make it 7 to go and get 2 callers.
Roughly 27 in the pot.
Kc Ts 3c
Not a terrible flop for aces but there is a flush draw. I fire a pot sized bet of 27. Original min raiser smooth calls and the other guy gets out of the way.
Turn is rag.
What is your play? Results later.
