What does my oppenent have? (local live game)

[Spuddy]

Local $1-$2 PL game.


Hand 1:
I was dealt AA, next to UTG. UTG makes it $8. I re-raise to $20 total. folds around to him he calls.
Flop: 6 2 K

He checked to me. I bet $30. He called. No read on player by the way.

Turn was: 7

He checks to me. I bet $50. He calls.

River was: 9
He leads out and bets $50. I flat call.
What does he have?



Hand 2


I hold A Q UTG. I raise to $8. 5 callers.
Flop: A 4 2

I bet $20, everyone folds to the person on the button. He min-raises to $40 total. I re-raised, $80 more. He pushes in for $175 more. After much thought I fold, and question my play. This player was nuts. He pushed all in blind for $40 for fun, chased every gutter to hit gutters. Potted a pot pre-flop with 7-4 of clubs. What does he have?

weird question, as youyr making us guess.


Hand 1 - he is betting low ont he river, seems like he is watning a raise or call. If i had to put money on putting him on a hand, id say K9.

Hand 2 - wtf? he could have anything. A5? TQ? who knows. Against that kinda player, id have called the $175 tho

Hand 1 could easily be a blocker bet with a hand like KQ or KJ especially with diamonds. I'd call that every time, I wouldn't be raising there though I think you played it well. One hand, I'd say KQ of diamonds.

Hand 2 I won't even attempt to put him on a hand. Okay I will, I'll guess 45. As for the hand, I'm either folding to the mini raise, felting it, or calling and playing for pot control. I don't like the re-raise, fold line. When he bluffs has he ever mini raised or do you take that as strength against this player?

Hand one is whiffed diamonds.

[Spuddy]

So far everyone has "touched" the correct responses.

Hand One:
10-8 of di

Hand Two:
A-4

Also, is my re-raise of the min bet poor?
As for whether or not his min-raise was strength or not, I should have thought about that more. My friend suggested that I flat call the raise, and check the turn and see what he does and then re-evalutate.

the problem with your three bet is that it allows your opponent to play perfect (fold all hands which you beat thus denying you action, yet move all in with hands that beat yours...and not fold any of them)
