I suck at dodge deck.

Similar to dodge ball except the only problem is in this game you want to get hit. My time is coming. In the meantime I have managed to get back to the old me via a little help from my friend Dodgy. I realized how scared I have been playing and I feel I have got my groove back. Now it is just a matter of time before I stack me some donkeys. With that said I did manage to play 1396 hands at 7.25BB/100. Not so bad really. Also I didnt lose one single pot over 40BB.

Hand 1: I had very few hands on this guy he was 87/0/.5

Absolute PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $0.50/$16 players
Stack sizes:Hero: $109.25UTG+1: $135CO: $183.40Button: $324.13SB: $120.19BB: $163.60
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with 4d 4c Hero raises to $4, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, 3 folds.
Flop: as qs 8h ($9.5, 2 players)Hero bets $6, CO calls.

Felt a cbet was pretty standard here.

Turn: 7c ($21.5, 2 players)Hero checks, CO bets $1, Hero calls.
Obviously I am shutting down but a $1 I am calling.

River: 4s ($23.5, 2 players)Hero checks, CO bets $1, Hero raises to $12, CO raises to $24, Hero ???.

Oh great I made a set, NOT. I check and he bets a buck again. No fucking way he has a flush. I put in a raise and bam Min raise. Can I call? I have to right?

Hand 2: I just sit down and pick up AKs and this preflop action insues. Had no stats on original Raiser villain who called my preflop raise was 52/12/.6.

Stack sizes:UTG: $206.40UTG+1: $218.99CO: $280.48Button: $190.40SB: $101.50Hero: $100
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with ad kd UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $7, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, Hero raises to $31, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, Button folds.

I decided then and there again that I would 3bet big with the intention of calling any shove. Instead we take a flop and I have a pot size bet left behind.
Flop: 7h 6s 5h ($76.5, 2 players)Hero checks, CO checks.

I get nothing and rather then spew off my stack I decide I will be shutting down unless something interesting occurs.
Turn: 2h ($76.5, 2 players)Hero checks, CO bets $88, Hero folds.Uncalled bets: $88 returned to CO.
Results:Final pot: $76.5

Standard?

Hand 3: villain is 21/10/1.36

Button ($170.20)SB ($25.95)Hero ($112.65)UTG ($85.20)MP ($187.76)CO ($77.35)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8h, 8d. 2 folds, CO raises to $4, 2 folds, Hero calls $3.

I opted to set min with 88 here and possibly make a play depending on flop texture.

Flop: ($8.50) 6c, 9h, 7s (2 players)Hero checks, CO bets $7, Hero raises to $21, CO raises to $73.35 (All-In), Hero calls $52.35.

I loike the texture and I make my move. I know I am behind when he shoves yet I am getting proper odds with my OPSD and my 2 outs to make a set. So 10 outs twice. Standard?
Turn: ($155.20) 5d (2 players, 1 all-in)
River: ($155.20) 6h (2 players, 1 all-in)

Hand 1, even though the minbet-min3bet line is pretty damn strong... I feel that the villain overvalues 2 pair or something enough of the time. There's no way he could be bluffing though.

I just put some hands in Pokerstove. If he has any two spades (for the flush), any set, or any two pair, you have 44% equity on the river. Even if I make it aces-up or better, you still have 28% equity.

Hand 2, looks standard to me. If you don't cbet then you have to give up. But I think you're behind too much of the time anyway, and you have no bluff equity. So you shouldn't cbet. So I guess you try to get to showdown unless you hit.

Hand 3, looks pretty standard.
