1. Perhaps this line is too aggressive given the preflop cap? I'm ahead against AK and some overplayed hands but nothing else really.

2. Check behind turn to induce river bluffs and save money against an ace (or anything else that beats me)?

3. Does calling the turn with the nuts win me the extra bet or two I think it does or should I raise there?

4. I wanted to check raise the flop but this of course didn't work. Was betting out on the turn correctly? And is check/calling the river okay?

1) Just check/call the river. If he raised with a fd on the turn he folds top your check/raise anyway. Btw you can fold to the 3-bet if his stats are correct (with more hands)
He would check AK probably behind :)

2) The bet is good but I guess you can fold to the check/raise. Looks like an eight.

3) He seems to have a high wts so you can raise the turn directly. Otherwise its not that bad against people who can fold a T here :)

4) There was no preflop aggressor so I can't see why you check here. Please explain this to me because I never understodd why my opponent would do that.
C/c is ok.

5) ok

Hmm you play 2/4$ FR? Maybe you should check out SH because there aren't many table at the sligtly higher limits :)


I don't really play limit regularly (well, ever basically) and picked 2/4 because it's half what I'm rolled for and FR because SH has been a fast route to tilt for me in the past and a very bad idea anyway without more limit experience.

1) Not at all sure what I was thinking with the river check raise now, it made sense at the time...
2) Wasn't an 8 (he did catch the A though). As I raise from the button and get a call from the BB, this is pretty much a blind defence situation from his point of view with the positions reversed. At least that's how I saw it, and I expected him to put me on a weak hand that didn't improve. That said, that reasoning probably makes the 3-bet bad.
3) I wasn't really looking at his stats yet (or anyone's in this short session), the sample size is too small to be very meaningful.
4) Heads up in an unraised pot I'd expected a bet from almost all players at NL if checked to on the flop and would bet myself there so going for a check raise seemed reasonable.
