Two hands I wanted to ask about:

I have $200 to start the hand, villain has about 300

I'm in MP with , make it 15 to go after one limper, the BB villain calls

Flop
She checks, I bet 20, call

Turn
She bets 25, I called

River
She bets 25, I called......... like my line?



Way later in the night, we are 6 handed, I have about 400 in front, villain has about 200.

I limped utg with (the table was fairly passive with most people seeing the flop cheap. Even knowing that, do you like the limp or not?)

Four way see a flop of , check check, I lead off for 10, folds around to the SB who min raises to 20. (read: he's sorta loose, I guess sorta smart, and by sorta smart I mean he laid down KK to a 8875T board on a big river bet, and the guy showed T8 at the end) I then reraised it to 50, he calls. (Raise not big enough?)

Turn
He checks, I bet 60, he had about 150 left at the time, good bet or bad bet? He calls

River
He checks, I then push his last 90 in, good line?

hand 1 good

hand 2.. 23 UTG??? otherwise fine

I agree #1 is good

#2. Preflop is putred...ugly...abysmal...stinks..........fill in your adjective here...

Im not sure I would reraise the flop. Hes in the blind and could easily have T2, T3 or a set as well as a bunch of other hands. Once you reraise the flop, I push the turn every time.

I don't hate a raise pre flop in hand 2, but I sorta hate a limp.

Hey thanks guys.

First hand, in the game I play in, 12 is the normal opening raise, if 1-2 limpers it's 15, if 3 or more, 18-25.

Anyway, in the first hand the lady showed 98o for the straight. I had the "feeling" on the river that my hand might not be any good, but getting 6-1, it made it really difficult to fold.

2nd hand, I get people on both side's of the ledger here. Now don't get me wrong, 23c UTG, even in a six-handed game isn't one I'd normally play, but I felt that the table conditions (loose-passive preflop) warranted a call. On the river he mucked and showed ATo faceup, now you know what I mean when I said kinda loose/kinda smart.
