Is there a case for shoving the river, or a value bet is best...

FWIW, i play for fun on sky , mainly due to my bad broadband connection, and when it drops, say if i am playing 8 tables, i get logged out and all the table shut down, and the other site i play at can cope a bit better.

So i have no reads on these guys whatsoever.

    1) snap fold.
     
    2) only shove if you are confident they have a weaker flush.  if not bet smaller to get value from 2 pair type hands.  also if you bet smaller and they have a smaller flush they will prob go all in anyway.

    3) flat river...villain opened utg on a table where he is clearly the value and then has barrelled (half pot barrelling lol) every street. i assume he would play QQ this way so prob best to call unless you have a really good read on the bet sizing etc.

    4) fold....three way in this spot you will run into AK, AQ, KK, QQ on so many occasions and just have nowhere near the equity youre hoping to have.  it looks pretty but you only have K high.

    1 Think you have to fold without excellent reads. If you are ahead they have decent equity, if you are behind you are crushed, and you will usually be behind imo

    2 Bet flop bigger. Turn fine, although I would sometimes barrell. River, meh hard to say depends on villain in a vacuum just raise to 25. Depends if he overvalues hands or thinks you are likely to overbet bluffshove

    3 Do you feel he is weak as in your hand is good or has a better hand you can bluff him off on river? Raise to 25, prob fold to a shove readless, maybe you can justify calling it off though

    4. Looks like a fold to me.

    When I mentioned bluffing him on river in hand 3 I meant when OP missed river, as he mentioned something about pushing villain off hand on river, and called 2 streets with a very weak pair. Obv once we make trips on river we are not bluffing if we raise. Dont know villain, if he is a fish I prob raise and call it off

    Must say, there are some very loose plays at nl50, fun though.

    1. I think this is an easy insta-fold, but very interesting line the villain took! limp-calling(bad imo), squeezed the flop? if he did not have 66 there, he is a very brave chap.

    2. I like my flop bet size tbh, didnt want to be raised off the pot, plus im likely to have the best hand. I could barrel the turn but against this villain i think a bit of pot control is best(but a good villain will discard a k from my range, prob? i may be exploited), plus im only inflating a big pot as i am likely behind if he calls(also 2 is not a good card to barrel) The river baffled me, He ovb reps the flush, but does he have it? well i thought so, so i shoved-- i figured if he would call a value re-raise, he would call a shove?, perhaps to deep for this, and he did fold, bad read by me.

    3. This hand was before above, (this guy's (if i had a hud) vpip% would be very high). After playing this villain i wanted to enter a high% of pots v him as there was a lot of value there(still with limited reads on this guy). After calling pre-flop, i am never folding to that flop, esp v his c-bet size, im not fishing here; just a good opportunity to float, i felt he was weak, wasn't sure if i had the best hand, but v this oppo i reckon he would bet flop bigger if he had qq, aq, kk, aa. So i was happy here, and was going rep the river if he checked (if i could with reason-- represent it) Could this work? could this oppo fold a Q if the flush came? suppose the regs could tell me. When i hit trips, im so happy to get it in, i make value raise to around 26, he snap calls and shows JJ! tbf it did look like a bluff from me as it looked like a brick on the river, should have shoved lol

    4. This looks terrible, BUT i have my reason, could shaw have JJ,1010,99, even aj,a10 . . well it looked that way(since i had not played these guys before, it should have been a fold) Getting 2-1, its very marginal but i felt it was a good spot to gamble, did not worry about the short stacker that much, but i miss read shaws hand with his strange line completely, i was drawing dead on the flop(pretty much) as i was vs AA, and KK lol, oh well...nh guys.

    1. Fold, dead vs so many hands, flipping vs a lot more, beating virtually nothing.

    2. Think theres a case for making a bluffy looking raise, maybe make it 2-3x the pot. Shoving might be overkill.

    3. Just raise a standard amount £20 - £30 more.

    4. Saw this on TV, I think Billboys 3 bet size did you no favours, don't think shaw turns up with worse then QQ/AQ+ too often though.

    i dont recognise the villain but against an unknown im still flatting - it just breaks my heart too much when they turn over A5, it also breaks my heart a little when they show QQ.  this happens to me a lot :(

    there is no doubting my nittiness :)
