Default Daily dose of question hands from 20nl!!!

TL;DR

Hand 1: villain was new to the table, had no notes on him. subsequently to this hand, he appeared fairly competent, but I didn't know that at the time. I figured it was a pretty good double barrel card if he didn't have a king, and it gave me additional outs if he did. unfortunately he CRed the turn and I figured that neither shoving nor flatting was good, especially with the paired board. assuming I didn't get CRed, if river bricked a low card, would this have been a good triple barrel spot? I think I can get most players to fold Kx that isn't AK, but who knows.



Hand 2: same villain as previous hand. hadn't seen him 3betting/squeezing at all, but this had only been 5-10 hands after the previous hand, and only 20 or so hands since he sat. is this just an auto fold, or can I profitably flat IP? if we had history I would definitely consider 4betting, but that may be getting ahead of myself at 20nl.




Hand 3: Impressively I'm pretty sure I misplayed every single street of this hand, including pf. Maybe take this as an example of how not to play a hand. I considered CRing the turn since I think his range is made up of a lot of draws/combo draws, weak TP/2nd pair hands that the 3 didn't help (well actually hurt vs my hand depending on their kicker), but I ended up flatting. Considering my read that he may have had a draw, should I be checking river to let him bluff, or is the equity that I gain when he bluffs his draw dwarfed by the value that I miss when he checks a weak made hand behind? How is my river betsizing if I'm going for value from a hand like A6 or 77?



Hand 4: Another hand that I may have butchered...this one's pretty ugly, so make sure there are no small children watching. The only redeeming factor here is that villain is very short, so I don't mind getting it in with him here while I may be ahead and almost certainly have outs to improve on the turn. I just went ahead and put him in on the end since I figured we were most likely chopping, and he only had $1.50 or something behind anyways, so who cares!




Thanks in advance for the feedback guys; I figured out how to put all the hands on one replayer, but I actually think I like it better like this. If you guys disagree, since you're the one helping me out, let me know for my next installment of 20nl questions.

I like the HH's better the way you posted them. fwiw

hand 1- looks good to me

hand 2: Folding here is perfectly fine, if you do decide to call the 3bet, you should be willing to find some flops to make moves on where you think you have some equity if called.

hand 3- 3bet pre, as played post flop is kind of an awkward spot, and would be interested to hear what others think the best line is there.

Hand 4- I would just fold this one preflop, calling with weak aces from the blinds leaks money. His stack is too small to 3bet him. Postflop I don't see a reason to raise the turn really, he's not likely folding better hands here. just call and reevaluate the river. I would probably call one of his tiny bets though on the river.

Hand one... terrible card to double barrel, check and try to hit one of your many outs.

Hand two... like you said, with more history this could be something other than a fold, but until he's shown that he's able to squeeze light I prefer to fold AQo there.

Hand three... ugh, please please please don't check the turn. Also, 3bet preflop for sure.

Hand four... raise preflop, post flop is fine.

Hand 1: I really don't like to double barrel here ..... since you're in position just check it back and try and hit since it will suck if you're check/raised (as happened here).

Hand 2: I fold here without history

Hand 3: 3bet preflop. If you put him on a draw why are you checking the turn?? Did you have a read that villain would bluff missed draws? If not then I think it's best to just go ahead and bet the river for value.

Hand 4: I like a raise preflop, but as played I think post-flop was fine

Hand 1 : you prob should of checked behind

Hand 2 : i dont mind a call or a fold here , since u have no read on player, fold

Hand 3 : Bet , bet , bet

Hand 4 : Since the button just limped id raise that preflop , although i have no problem gettin it in here remember that short stack fish will stack off with any pair here so you have no fold equity , as you have top pair and flush draw its not so bad but if he was a deeper stacked its best to call down the hand light unless you hit ur draw cas they will pay u off anyway

Hand 1: I prefer a check here on the turn
Hand 2: I agree with no reads this is a fold imo.
Hand 3: 3 bet pre, and use ur reads.
Hand 4: Raise pre, and i guess the rest is fine.
