NL25 - Correct Plays Here? Or Elsewise?

[PhilipJWitow]

Ok first hand, I would have played it slightly differently after some discussion with Roy, 4-bet it, just pushed the flop/pre-flop. I think the way I played it I gain some fold equity with the turn, he might fold sometimes thinking I have a flush, but I have to 4-bet and go all-in pre-flop/flopwise. I now know this. ^^ But good besides that?

Ahh if only I knew the 3-bet before I played this hand, might have saved me some money . Same principle as above I think, I have to 3-bet here, and if he's still betting into me, I check-call as I don't beat anything betting into me really, AQ/AJ, 10/10 and bluffs. Also, fold on the river? He obviously has something and like I say above, I just don't beat enough hands to call.

Hand 1: I can see a 4-bet preflop or push there; did you have any type of read on the opponent? Most people don't reraise preflop unless they have a pretty great hand at NL25 IMO...You could have just played for set value, but I'm slightly more in favor of getting it in on the flop here.

Hand 2: Yeah, with your position, I am in favor of the reraise preflop. On the flop though, I think you have to raise there, calling is the worst thing you can do because if he bets into you again on the turn, the decisions start to become alot more difficult. If he 3-bets you on the flop, you can alway get away. Yep, you don't beat enough hands to call the river.
