I don't know about the rest of you but I think both are spew unless you had some reason to think villian was the one spewing... I don't re-raise either hand but maybe that's just me. Would like to see what some of the other more experienced cash players think.

SHIT Happens. I try to stay away from the on line cash games. Very seldom do I play them . If I do it is usually 05/10 Cents that is.

Without reads and stats its hard to say.... In general the first one I would try to get to river for a lot cheaper than he did once villian flats our cbet (villian dependant obv) .... Second one is a no brainer - we are going broke.

Yes third one is a spew imo.

But this is not a strat thread, so I won't go into the thought process.

On the river you are left with a bluff catcher. If you want a cheap showdown bet $6-7 and if you get raised you fold. Check calling any similar sized bet is possible as well and induces bluffs from worse hands. I would not be surprised at all if the bottom straight checks it down at NL25 unless you have a player specific read that I don't know about. I lean more towards check calling this river.

villain is drawing turn to 10 outs you don't want to get to river cheaply....he hits basically the nuts and doesn't raise .....
