Hand 1.

This guy is a loose passive player who doesnt raise much PF. # of hands you have on this guy would be useful here because if its small, like less than 25 then its harder to extract info from the sample. Assuming the sample is a decent size....

I think folding PF isnt the worst play here. We're OOP vs a fairly strong range that crushes ATo. If you think this guy is a big ball of implied odds then its probs ok.

As played I'd ch/c the river. After you bet the river you cant fold anymore.



Hand 2.

Raise PF to like .08-.10.

From what I read from him, he would check or call when in doubt. He only bet or raise with something bigger than TPTK. So I should've fold on the turn I guess.

Raise PF to like .08-.10.

Why?

Well I dont know how big your hand sample is on the guy but a 51/3/6 is limping a very wide/weak range and with an AF of 6 he seems like a spewy player too, just the type of player that we want to get into pots with.. I think JTs is good enough to play vs this type of player, even if we are OOP. We'll have the initiative in the hand and it hits a lot of flops.

This. Playing a hand like ATo out of position against this person's raising range is really bad, you're just looking to either getting outkicked or only winning a small pot. Here's why:

When an ace hits, what worse aces do you think someone with a tight raising range bets? Surely they wouldn't really raise too many rag aces preflop, especially from MP so when an ace comes and they're betting multiple streets, AT is probably not good(since most likely they don't have A9 and lower).

Let's say they they don't have an ace, when an ace comes on the flop, you check, they cbet, you call. Villain is probably going to be VERY careful if he/she doesn't have an ace because that's a scare card to them and they're going to want to try and lose as little as possible(unless they have a strong draw or they hit a draw, set etc).

So there you have it. Playing a hand like ATo OOP against a tightish raising range is bad. (feel free to correct me if im wrong anyone)

Hand 2

Again, i agree with brank. Raise this hand preflop as villain is playing VERY wide so we're somewhat raising for value and hoping to get a fold postflop when we don't hit.

You need to bet .05 on the flop, no one ever folds to a min-bet. When the turn comes and we hit two pair, I like betting 2/3 pot and folding to a raise, the reason being I don't see him raising with a worse hand
