Frustrating hands – What would you do?

[Narajin007]

After having my best win of almost $2000…lately I’ve been having bad days..

Just wondering how you guys would played these hands.

Hand 1:

Board is A 2 2 5 2(rainbow). Its heads up and you have pocket 3’s.

Opponent had been betting on both flop and turn. On the river he goes all-in for $47. Pot is about $110. Would you call or fold?

Hand 2:

Board is J 10 6 9 (rainbow). You have 10 8 and open ended, any Q or 7 you get a straight. 3 way on the pot and you are middle position. Villain1 is in his 50s, quite tight rec player. Villain2 is the same although seems to be more aggressive.

Villain1 in early position bets $100.

Would you call, fold or raise-all in? You have about a $150 stack.

It kinda depends on the positions and action preflop, but I would say I’d fold the first hand, you have a fullhouse yeah, but in reality, you only have the worst possible pair. A bluff catcher that beats K high.
But does villain bluff when he bet/bet/shove? (In fact I might have folded earlier in the hand)

Hand 2 : mid pair + oesd would have been stronger on the flop than the turn. The vilain who bets 100 can have the straight already (you might draw to a chop), he can have 2 pairs or a set (or just tptk, which you would have the most equity against). If he has 2pairs or set, your out to 2pairs or trips are dead. Would be interesting to know the size of the pot, but I would fold there too.
Even if all your outs are live, you have around 25% equity (so depends on the potsize)

First hand I folded. Found out that he had 3 4 for a straight. I knew my play was correct but still frustrated me. Pot was about $150.. Costing me about $47 to call…3 to 1 pot odds. Anything I could have done better…

Second hand, I would have folded…but I left my fold button at home…plus I was tilted….knew it was a long shot..i hit my 7 but lost to K Q for a higher straight.

I knew this guy was tight and him raising $100 should have given me alarms bells. But I didnt handle it well. Pot size was about $300… giving me 3 to 1 pot odds and implied odds where also there.
