    Both villains were pretty spewy and overplayed a lot of hands. Janvellie just double up calling off his stack on the flop drawing only to a K high flush draw..
  2. With your read I am not folding here. I flat the 720 flop bet. bet any non c turn if checked to or raise/c villains turn bet. Flatting his turn bet seems fine too depending on sizing or you might be able to shove. But the your shove for value will shut down all of his air when he may 3 barrell you on river. If pitzi ever comes over the top, just get it in with your read of him-

    top pair 2nd top kicker is a good hand vs two spewy players- get value from your hand
  3. Before i read about how spewy the 2 villains were, i was gonna say that i definitely wouldn't have cold called the 600 and save myself a decision like this on the flop. Interested to know what better players think ...

  5. Interesting hand.
    Dont dislike your bets to the turn.
    Before giving your read on the two villians, I would have said that your very likely behind on this dangerous board, but the reads widen their hands somewhat!
    Nevertheless theres still a good chance your drawing to a K, and if you hit your not sure to win the hand.
    Another negative is, youve no club.
    Dont think I want put more money into the hand, so check the turn & review the river.
  6. Fold pre?
  7. I am probably folding pre, since it is still early. I might raise pre and fold to a raise, then we don't have this problem. As played, I am reraising the flop, and folding to a bet. Again as played, on the turn I am checking and hoping to check down the river.

    Reason: err didn't realize Limit
  8. Flat flop. Check behind turn. Read betsizing on river but most likely fold to any bet.

    I think pre-flop is very close, and I probably fold pre- more than I flat pre-, but it is dependent on table dynamics and with stacks I don't think it is a real leak either way.
     
  9. i fold pre

    I just dont think AQo is very far ahead of a raise and 3bet pre. Usually you are flipping with one and either dominated or sharing cards with the other guy. I dont like flatting AQo to a 3bet pre with no plan on what to do when you hit your A. I mean you called 600 pre, flopped your A (still have no idea where you are at), then you flat the flop for another 720 (still no idea where you are at and now have to worry about a straight, flush, 2 pair all getting there). Everything got there on the turn, I like a check more than a bet here.
  11. Id raise or fold pre.
  12. I usually fold pre, but as played flat the flop, check back the turrn and hope to get to a cheap showdown.
  13. 4 bet to 1400... call shove with your reads
