Played another 4 table session of 50NL on Stars for an hour or so last night. A few of my more difficult situations below. Comments welcomed.

If I remember correctly he was getting involved in about 30% of pots and is aggressive post-flop.

Depremo is a semi-loose and very aggressive. I’ve taken some pots from him by just calling him down with middling hands.

This is a tricky one. I checked the turn with the intention of hopefully catching a bluff on the river.

I think thats a tournament thing. Stops people saying things like..."you have pot odds call" or it may be players not involved that can't speak.

Results
Hand 1 I considered shoving but folded.
Hand 2 I called and he had 44 and I held up.
Hand 3 I folded with another scare card hitting and what looked like a milking bet.
Hand 4 I folded and he showed the flush

Re Bigshots hand.

I 'd say it was a fold pre-flop. Getting involved out of position with a trouble hand against another big spot is going to get you in a lot of trouble unless you flop the nuts. On this occasion you flop the nuts and get your money in good. Presumably His AQ (or TT) draw out on you and you are bust.

Anyway you got your money in good. I'd probably make bigger re-raises to make it more expensive for a flush draw like KTs as a flush card landing is going to either screw you or dry up your action.

What could you do, you had the nuts on the flop and he kept upping your bet, i expect he got his full house seeing as how you have brought this up, but even so it was one of those hands you quite rightly could not give up.
