The hands from my last session

Posted 8 years ago

Is there anything we can do different in the following hands?

Hand 1:

Effective stacks 130 bb

Calling station from UTG to 0,60
Hero raises from SB to 2,40 with AA

FLOP J8Q Pot 5,00

UTG checks
Hero bets 3,75
UTG raises 8,50
Hero pushes all-in
UTG calls.

Our opponent has JQ and he wins the pot.

Hand 2

Effective stacks 100 bb

Our villain is one of the regulars.
Hero raises from the btn to 0,40 AQ
BB reraises to 1,20

FLOP 8A8 Pot 2,90

BB checks,
Hero bets 1,45
BB calls 1,45

TURN 8 5,80

BB checks
Hero bets 2,90
Villain raises all-in

I suppose we do not have to be worried about being behind, we have (almost the nuts) the nuts? Well, villain shows AA and wins the pot.

HAND 3

Regular raises from the UTG to 0,60
Hero reraises from the BB with JJ to 2,40
Regular calls 2,40

FLOP 458 Pot 5,00

UTG checks
Hero bets 3,20
UTG raises to 11,25

I think it is too early to fold on a single check-raise on the flop.

TURN 8

UTG pushes all-in
Hero folds

The opponent pushed instantly, it was so fast that he did not even have to think about our hand strenght a bit. I think he is extremely strong here, but I still think about my decision carefully. At end I fold, because I think we are crushed most of the time.

Maybe these are just coolers, maybe not.

In the last hand I am almost sure that he has a set, AA or maybe KK. It is quite common to slow play aces in these games.

AQs might be too thin to bet otr. Not much calls- I put him in AA when he check jammed lol. But I still think we have to bet because we have the ace when he shoves it's gross and call and lose I guess.
JJ call preflop and I might not cbet the flop as villain kinda calls with QQ TT 99 andddd the rest is sets/combo draws.

Hand 1:

Any stats? U say he is a calling station, if he is a CS shouldnt we be worried about a raise on that flop?
I dont expect a CS be raising many one pair/bluffs/draws there, i expect him to call his one
pair hands and probably some draws too.
Without stats, and with the only read of he being a CS, i would fold flop. He can have a lot of
2pairs, set,straight and combo draws.

Against his FD , combo draws, two pairs+ we have 48%. But i dont know if he is going to raise some draws.

Hand 3:

Why would you 3bet JJ from bb to utg? like every time we get a 4bet we are hating our hand. As played probably call,
and evaluate turn? i dont know.

Hi gdevil23! I do not have stats, because you can not use the trackers in skypoker. I have seen him open limping several times, that´s why he is called "calling station" in this thread.

You are right. Calling stations will not probably raise with a pair only, but on the flop it is slightly possible. If it would have happened on the turn, I would have folded.
