Hero checks, LP bets $1.50, Hero calls $1.50

River: ($6.35, 2 players) 2
Hero checks, LP bets $2.00, Hero ?

This was vs a unkown,
Im not sure if this was well played up to this point.
What line is good here, cbet then check the turn ?
I was thinking there issnt much value in cbetting, but maybe that way it plays easyer.

As played i feel i should fold the turn and fold the river now.

No info on villain.
Im not sure if calling in the BB is anygood here, i hate to play oop but folding seems weak to me or is it ?
Then when he checks im thinking that i can take the pot by a bet turn, bet rvr line.
Obv he dssnt have much on the flop, so i want to take him off Ace high or a weak made hand.
Is this good thinking, and what do you think about the river bluff ??

Hero ?

Also interesting hand here.

Villain is unkown as well, i think c/c flop is standard.
The turn i thought he could fire with air cause its a scare card, but is really had.
Im basically check/guessing, dunno if c/c turn is anygood.
What do you think ?

This hand im not sure if played well.
Both unkowns but the limper looks weak.

I was a bit scared by the coldcall from BB, so i opted to check back the flop.
I hate to get c/red and this way i keep the pot small, sounds good ? or bet for value against BB ?

Bet turn for value/protection, sounds good ?

most of this looks fine except the KQo.. don't even bother making an attempt there, board is too drawy and he should be calling you down w/ any pair.. so just have a wide value range

i'd suggest grabbing a coach or a study group as you have a lot of hands lately...

Thx slowlane, just checking.
Played 6max before, but had like a 1yr break from poker.
Might join a study group if i have more time, may do some coaching when i get to the 400nl level
Just started watching your rush series, learning lots!

h1: really hard to work out the best line with JJ here against an unknown. if you assume he's quite passive c/cing flop might be losing, in which case you could either c/f flop or just cbet and look for good spots to turn your hand into a bluff or bluffcatch against him on later streets.

it's just a gross spot which doesn't have an easy answer, how you should play is very dependent on your opponent, and when he's an unknown it's hard to say.

as played vs an unknown i think he just has Ax every time here, i fold flop or turn.

h2: calling is fine if we assume he steals relatively wide. i wouldn't want to call against someone stealing less than 18% from CO (that number is not scientific, just ballparking). if you don't call it's fine to 3bet.

turn and river both seem fine. it's easier for him to have a 9 than for you to have a 9, but we can probably assume that he isn't thinking much about that, and he should fold enough hands for the bluff to be profitable in both spots.

h3: this is standard so far, although if you have any reads on your opponent you can sometimes find a turn fold against nittier guys. i would check/raise the river; if it checks through you're often good, and if he bets he's almost always folding to a check/raise. donking river as a bluff is very unlikely to get him off an ace though.

h4: assuming both guys are bad, i think cbet flop for value. as played the turn value bet is good. i think you can bet 50 cents on the river for more value, he'll call with 8d8x.

h5: looks fine unless you are against ivey and galfond or something.

h6: vs most 25nl BBs i expect it's better to check back turn and call a river bet or bet river if checked to.
