$5/$10 NL 6 max at Full Tilt

#1) I open for $35 with [Jd]. Button and SB both call. No real reads other than the button seems tight. There have been no big pots at this table is the 30 mins Ive been here.

Pot $115 Flop [7h][Jc]. SB leads $10. I raise to $80. I know I should probably raise more, but I thought that was enough to find out if the button had a hand. I think SB has a flush draw although ike I said, I have no read. Button folds and SB calls.

Pot $275. Turn . He leads $60. I raise to $240 and he calls again.

Pot $755. River . He checks. I do what?

#2) I open to $35 with [Qh]. Same villain on other table is in SB again and min reraises to $60. This is the 2nd time hes done this (not to me). He didnt showdown last time, but I find this is AA / KK or AK almost every time. The BB cold calls. I go ahead and call since Im suited and its 3 way.

Pot $180. Flop [6h][7s]. SB bets $100. BB (who seems very good / solid) calls. I could raise here, but I really think the SB has a big pair and doubt he will fold. Im gettiing odd so I call.

Pot 480. Turn . SB bets $370, BB calls again. . Im gonna have $$480 left if I call this. They both have me covered. Im getting 3.3:1 and Im pretty sure the SB isnt folding if a hits so I have implied odds as well. Do you call this? I really hate just sitting here calling off 1/2 my stack.

#1) UGH

#2) reverse implied odds. Either of these players may have boated up already. I toss it.

1 easy check behind

2 easy fold

I see no reason to bet hand #1... either he was drawing and missed and your hand is good, or he has an A or better and obviously isn't folding.
I would also raise a bit more on the turn, you're actually giving him odds to chase the flush here.

Hand 2 looks close so if you feel like gambling (and variance) then go ahead and call.
I would probably ditch it though.

back to the harsh comments......gotta love it

hand 1

it's, um, optimistic to bet 40% of a buy-in in the hopes that he has the one hand that you might be able to make fold out of many possible hands that won't.


hand 2

clearly you had implied odds to call the turn.
