$7 NLHE STT: Getting out of line against a funplayer

[fundiver199]

These two hands happened back to back. In the first one I decided to give up easily, because I did not want to get into some kind of huge war with just ace high. When he raised me for a second time in a row however, I really felt, it was beginning to smell like bullshit. So I decided to go all the way, even after an obvious draw completed, and he overbet jammed. Please talk me out of ever doing something like this again

Thank you for Posting

With that VPIP the V can have a lot of small pairs in the BB in hand 1- so a delayed c-bet to try to realize the equity of the AQ -especially if we are going to bet fold here- may be EV+ in this spot. At this level our V play so straight forwardly that they are not forcing us to use MDF.

Hand 2 no way will I ever talk you out of using reads to make calls in spots where the V is screaming get out of the pot with their play.

Well done

Nice hold FD. Those fishes I target often bink a 2 outer on the river - with a hope and a prayer.

Nice read and great call in the second hand. Everything he did in the last hand indicated a bluff, not a very good one considering he checked both flop and turn, but a very good one at the same time because even if you smell the bluff, with same stack if you're wrong you are out. So takes a lot of courage to call there even if you are almost certain it's a bluff. When I do the hero call it turns out he had pocket 7's and made a full house on the river haha.

I would like to ask you Fundiver for your opinion on a hand, would be grateful for your input. Last night in the cc freeroll we were on the bubble with 42 remaining, first 36 get in the money as you know. I was on 31 position with 9k stack, 400/800 blinds. Everyone folded and I was on the button. Sb was sitting out, and I had A 6 offsuite. My goal in these tournamets is to place as high as possible, not to just to barely get in the money. So my thought process was that although A 6 is not a going all in type of hand, with Bb having 15k stack, I thought if I go and try to steal the blinds by going all in, he would fold because he would have too much to lose on the bubble. If it was a shorter stack than mine, I wouldn't have done it. Maybe my logic is backwords, I don't know.

I wouldn't have minded to get a hero call with something like J Q, K Q or K J, K 10. He snap called with A 4 offsuite. When I first saw his hand I was relieved and packed myself on the back for doing the right thing since a double up here is huge. Next second imediately I thought this seems too good to be true and say no more, a 4 on the river and I'm out.

Was it stupid that I did this? I'm afraid to do it again with such a hand to be honest, every time I try and get creative and cheeky it backfires, even though I don't do it often. I played perfectly untill that spot, usually I get with a bigger stack on the bubble but yesterday I did the most with the cards I was dealt. Choose my spots, played few hands and even though after an hour and a half of play I had just 2k in chips, I eventually got in that position only to end it like that.

Also I'm very curious if his call was correct. In my mind I was wtf, I would not call with that hand, but maybe he thought I just want to steal the blinds with some bad hand, but even so I would not call with A 4 there.
