Re: 1-2nl with big pairs
Out of curiosity: Are you a life player?
@ topic:
1st Hand: why do you continuation-bet potsize on a super dry flop and turn? You won't ever get called by much worse, maybe on the flop but rarely on the turn. and with your betsize any check/raise on the turn means you're behind against all good players and most fish.
A better line would've been to cbet 1/2 pot - 3/4 pot on the flop and 1/2 pot on the turn to get calls from T9 or T8, JJ and stuff like that. When a player check/raises you on that turn, you're almost always beat and can safely fold.
Hand 2:
I would continuation bet that flop to get value from overpairs, straight draws and stuff. You can check behind this flop to pretend to give up because this board doesn't hit most of your hands very well, but if you do that, you just can't raise the turn, because now your opponent immediatly knows that you probably slowplayed a monster and will fold everything that you beat and only shove his sets like it happened.
IF you check the flop, you must flat call the turn and also flat call the river or bet a little bit when your opponent checks to you.
Also: If you copy the hand history from your full tilt table and convert it (with the handconverter on flopturnriver.com for example) it's way easier to follow the situation. and if you post the results of the hands (that your opponents had sets) your answers might be a little biased.
