Hand One -

You have TT in LP. EP raises to 80, MP calls 80, you call as well. Flop comes 228, rainbow. Pot = 270. EP checks, MP checks, you bet 270. EP check-raises to 850, MP folds. What do you do? You have 1200 left, and EP has you covered.

Hand Two -

Im not sure about the best way to post this hand, so I'll do it in the "what do you think both players have?" format. I'll leave out the action on the river.

Both player one and two have roughly 2200. Player one min-raises to 40, MP1 and MP2 call. Player two re-raises to 160, player one calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds. Pot = 550. Flop = QT2, rainbow. Checks around to Player two, he bets 400. Player one calls, MP1 folds. Turn = QT2K, rainbow. Checks to player two, and he checks behind. What range of hands do you put both players on?

River action to follow!

Player 2 JJ or AA. Looks like a standard play with JJ this hand, raised it up alot to take it down or isolate preflop. Flop comes and he follow up bets and is called. Using his positional advantage he checks behind on the turn with an open-ended str8 draw.
Also a standard line for AA. Turn card is a horrible hand for his AA, making many two pairs and well knowing that he could be upset. He might try to take peel a free one off to hope he hits a jack to make his miracle straight.

Player 1 I would expect to see a hand like 22 or 1010. Min-raised to make him the aggressor going into post flop and if he hits the set its hard to put him on a pocketpair. Check calls the flop, only hand I think he does this with is a set or maybe he has JJ himself and doesn't credit player 1 for hitting the queen, putting him on AK maybe. Thats all I can really see. Its impossible to put someone on a hand without a read on them, because, everyone plays differently. These could be two complete jokers who have 78 for all we know.

Hand 1= Fold, I would guess that EP has AA or KK

Hand 2= I can't even begin to guess

Thanks guys -

In hand one - I was the player that check-raised to 850. I had 87s - I knew that my opponent had a medium pair and thought that I could represent AA here and get him to fold. I didnt think he had a 2, and since I had one of the 8's, 88 was unlikely. Sadly, he called. Judging by your replies though, it was a good bluff, but against the wrong player. He called in a heartbeat and then commented about how he couldnt lay it down. Never bluff a calling station!

In hand two -

The river is a jack, making the board QT2KJ, no flush. Player one led out for 1000. Does he have the ace? If he does, what is his hand?

Thanks

If they are both solid, and assuming this could be a real stretch, but if they are, then player1 HAS to have the ace.

Most people wont reraise preflop w/o AA, AA, KK, or maybe QQ.
Since he ckecked behind on the turn, he doesnt have QQ or KK. That means player2 has an ace and player1 should not be betting w/o having one himself.

But like I said, this assumes they are normal players and since I dont know them, anything is possible.
