Two funky NL 100 hands

[Stoneburg]

#1
I have in MP with a 170 stack and there are three limpers to me. I raise to 8 and the huge stack behind me calls as do two of the limpers. Flop comes:



EP who posted and called my raise now leads for 8 into the 26 pot, shortstack folds. I flat call as does mr Hugestack behind me. Turn is the and EP now pushes for 79, I flat call. I'm anticipating a few different ideas on how to play this...


#2
I have in the BB, only two limpers and I check. Flop comes . I check, EP bets 4 (pot) and LP flat calls. EP seems quite loose/aggressive and LP is just another loose/passive fish with a supershort stack (7). EP has 256 and I have him covered.

So I decide to check/raise to 20 and he calls (shorty is allin). Turn is an 8 so now I have top two. I bet 33 and he calls. River is a K and I make a huge overbet push of 200+.

I think I played this a bit weird especially considering the huge stack depth (256bb).

More power to you if you won in hand #1. Me, I think you're up against trips or a straight too often, though maybe that's WT of me. On that board I raise the flop too.

Hand #2 - what ^ said about the CR., otherwise very likeable.

I figured people would tell me to raise the flop. Now that is not a great flop for AA so I am definetely worried. Not so much about the guy leading into me, but there's a huge stack behind me. I want to see how much he likes this flop before I committ any more money. I figure if he has something good (set/two-pair/straight) he will raise it to protect agains the flush/straight draws. I plan to fold if he raises.

I am of course giving a cheap turn card but...

I have the so even if the flush comes they won't have the nuts and I will have a re-draw. If they have a Q for the straight draw I am blocking two outs and will often pick up a re-draw if they hit it (of a flush, boat or split). If a Q comes I have the nuts. It was a lot of things to think about...

When big stack just called behind me I figured he *probably* didn't have a huge piece of the flop. Of course he could be slowplaying. On the turn I do not believe the push. Nobody plays a monster that fast. I actually figured like Allstar, that I just sucked out on KJ. Once again I flat call to see what the big stack does behind me. My flat call of that big overbet should scare the crap out of him unless he has a huge hand, so once again I flat call intending to fold to a raise.

Now... if so many think I am behind to a straight/twopair/set, why would you advocate raising? For me that is a pretty scare board for AA.


#2
It's mainly the flop action I find a bit iffy from me. I think I had two objectives with it:
1. Find out if my K is good
2. Disguise my draw
However, this can go wrong so many ways... obviously everything turned out perfect here but what if he 3-bets the flop? What if turn is a brick? I dodn't really count on him calling here, I figured he would fold and let me isolate the shorty.

Hand #1 opponent had and didn't hit his two-outer on the river so I dragged, bigstack folded behind me.

Hand #2 opponent called quickly, not surprising since he was unlucky to have K7 for the second nuts. Moral of the story, don't f-cking play K7 in the first place you idiot.

What is this site where people don't understand the value of a kicker? Svenska Spel?

[Stoneburg]

Yup.
