[Closed] sh 2/4 $: 5 hands vs. unkown

sorry for answering that late but a lot of good things are going on at PokerStrategy at the moment

1) sounds hard but i cap here and bet the turn and fold to a raise. You fold the best hand here so often.

2) This is somehow a WA/WB situation. He is playing OOP. So every weaker hand will almost fold directly on the flop and a lot of better hands will raise here. Of course you think you have to protect your hand here because of the draw heavy board. But i would simply call down here.

3) no move here please. To obvious, just play check/fold. And especially against unknown no move here. If you know he is a PS player perhaps you can make it but even then he will call down almost any hand, his went to showdown after 3betting preflop will be almost 80% or something like this

4) yap i do, but i would bet the turn by myself if checked to get a 9 pr perhaps even a Jack to fold.

5) Value bet river, of course he will show you sometimes a queen but i didn't calculated it yet but i think you have to be here up front perhaps about 40% of the time, because often you will get two weaker calls from both opponents.

thx stefan so far.

hand 1) why you don't rate this also as an wa/wb situation ?
Most of the time I'am against overcard or an overpair, which would be eihter wa or wb. Could you please explain the difference.

hand 2) I don't bet this situations because I'am not sure how to proceed against a raise and I hope to incude a bluff. I suppose you fold against a raise here?

Both players 3bet preflop.

It is just the board at hand nr 2 is much more dangerous so when you are ahead here he will so often fold his weaker hand but he will punish you if you raise here with his better hands.

But with the first hand you just hold the best hand here so often PLUS he won't fold his Overcards.

It is more likely that he is holding overcards like AT,AQ+,KQ+ perhaps also KT

In both situations we think we hold the best hand. The difference is just that at hand nr2 the possibility that he is holding a better hand is bigger plus he will fold weaker hands more often so try to induce the bluff here.
