[Qh] in SB

Some limpers

Raise it up to $11

UTG loose player calls.

Flop [Ts][Jh]

Kinda ugly. Pot is $30. I bet 27$. He deliberates and calls.

Turn is

Fuck. I lead for $35. He min-raises. He has $75 behind. W T F. Is he min-raising the straight or the flush? I call. River is innocuous and I check to him. He waits and pushes. I wait, and call. He tables [5s]. God damnit

#2

AKo in SB. Few limpers. Guy with $30 raises to $10. I call and and a few others call.

Flop KQ7. I know the short donk is pushing so I check. The others check, he pushes. Guy in between us folds, and I min raise his push up to $40 or so. The only remaining active player, loose fucker from MP, pushes his whole stack for $215. I want to call. I think it is the right play. But then I think to myself that only donkies call all-in with TPTK and fold. Pusher has 78s for MPNK and short-stack donky pusher has JJ and takes it down.

Do you think either of these play could be justified?

Appendage: 5 minutes later donk from hand 1 min raised my PFraised QQ in position on a 89T multicultural flop and since I'm psuedo tilting and definately targetting this guy I push my whole stack in. He called with KJo and didn't hit 2 his outer. I <3 Poker

I dont make a habit of reraising from the blind with AK either , but to say you'll never do it is wrong.

This is the time to do it. You want to isolate the short stack and get him all in, which he will call almost every time. You wouldve won $36 or so instead of losing $50.

$86 difference.
