Message: [QUOTE="Matt_Burns88, post: 6880326, member: 343619"] Hand 1: Personally I would be folding preflop with A8o in this situation. Just against the open, I would call, but BTN coming along as well, it becomes really hard to realise our equity. As played, I think calling flop is perfectly fine. Folding is not good when facing a small bet with 2nd pair top kicker. Raising is horrendous especially 3 handed, because UTG's c-betting range is a lot stronger than if it was just a HU pot, because he is OOP against BTN as well. Both have a lot of 9xs and all the sets and BTN can have TT, JJ and QQ at least half the time, as well as a whole bunch of draws, so it's likely you're going to looked up by at least one of them and find yourself playing a bloated pot OOP. The turn feels a lot like UTG trying to get max value from 99 or 88, or maybe a big draw like JcTc. Like 300 said, with the very little information we have on UTG, I would fold and make a note about the overbet and if you see him do something similar in the future take note of what hand they had. Hand 2: The raise size here is quite important. If it's a min-raise then I would be mixing calling and raised about 50/50. If it's 2.6x, I would 100% call. Flop I like a X/R here against a BTN c-bet, especially when their bet is so small. Villain is supposed to c-bet this board almost every time. You have an open ender to the nuts and villain still has a very wide range, so taking down the pot now with Q high is a good result, while getting called with a strong draw is not bad. As played, we find ourselves in a slightly awkward spot. This isn't a card we get to lead on, so checking is correct, but we then face an 87% pot bet...normally I at lower stakes, I would say this makes an unknown villain pretty value heavy, but in a $320, I think we have to give the average opponent more credit for more bluffs, which would probably lead me to call here, but it's close. I certainly wouldn't criticize a fold. [/QUOTE]
