    these are all with few reads if any at all.
  2. spewy call for sure.

    I'm not sure about the fold, in the .10c/.25c world I live in that's a horrible fold as people will reraise there with two pair or a flopped set after calling you down and not seeing the flush come in (or making the 2pr on the river).

    These are bad players that make these raises, but I don't know if they exist at the 2/4 level.
  3. 1st hand, do you have a read that he 3bets or 5 bet shoves light? If he 3bets light and you have been aggressive, I dont mind the 4 bet because he could just be defending his button, but I just cant see us being any better than the wrong side of a flip here at the very best after the 5bet shove.

    2nd hand i check call river to let him bluff missed draws or bet TP type hands. As played I think you have to call, as your line looks more like TP or 2pair and is totally disguised.
  4. second hand: I don't think you can fold 2nd nuts unless you have a real solid read on your opponent and knows he would only do this with the nuts... i don't see this guy calling 24 on the turn too often with just KJ... especially when there is a flush draw out. I think hes definitely making a move here.

    First hand: is read dependent, as obviouly playing AK out of position and not being the aggressor is unfavourable. You have to know what he 3-bets and 5-bet shoves with... though i think at the point of his 5-bet, his range is AK QQ+, maybe JJ putting your AK enough behind his range... meaning you should fold despite your current investment in the pot.

    Note: (however, i'm a 1/2 player, lost 2.5grand when i moved up to 2/4 and am now back to my safe 1/2 play until i meet my summer earnings goal :P)
