Hand 1
$0.50/$1.00 cash game
open to $3 from the hijack, called from the cutoff. Button re-raises to $11.
Hijack and cutoff call. pot $34.50
Flops comes Ah Qc 8c
hijack and cutoff both check, button bets out $15
Hijack re-raises to $45 cutoff folds.
button has 10cJc.
Pot is $95

Button has $250 behind
What do you do in this position if your the button and why?
Hand 2

Utg +1 limps in, folded around to the button. Button calls, SB folds and BB checks.
Pot $925

pot $2,725.
Turn comes Jd
BB leads out for $1498 UTG+1 calls
pot is $5721.
BB has $9704 behind and UTG+1 has $1593.
Button has Kh10h with $15,365 behind.
What do you do in this position and why?
Any and all answers are appreciated. I wont say in what position I am in, just want to see decision making on here in these spots, then I will reveal and my thoughts.
For hand 1,
If i was button i'm jamming in this spot, although HJ would get 2.6/1 and would be getting the odds to call a ton of times, we are ahead a lot of the times and we do want him to call.
If we give HJ the tightest range which would be 88,A8s,A8o,Q8s,Q8o,TJo,TJs
we are ahead 53% of the time.
Hand 2,
Is this NL Holdem or Limit holdem? the raise sizes are very weird pot is 925 then bb leads to 200 then a raise to 400??:confused2:
On the turn after the maniac action going on I will check behind if it was checked to me, also i'd rather get the straight than the flush since someone could have a flush combo with Ah. The sizing to 400 on the button doesn't change anything i'd rather just call or raise bigger because raising to 400 is useless.
I'm not sure but i think utg +1 is super strong, like QJhh or 33s but idk why would he limp.
I would see what is the action on the turn and try to get to the river as cheaply as possible then value you town on the river if i hit. If there was a lot of action on the turn i'd look at my odds then decide but after all the action on the flop i'm not loving my hand as well as its only a draw.
