Ok here are a few hands I'd like some input on, as I'm not intirely sure how to play them. There are no real relevent reads for any of these hands.

Hand A:

1) UTG+1 limps, SB limps, and I check behind with [4h].

2) Flop comes [5d][4d] ($6 pot): SB leads for $8. I bring it to $30. Limper folds, SB calls.

3) Turn comes ($66 pot): He checks, I shove for $130.





Hand B:

1) UTG+1 brings it to $8. SB calls. I call with [Qd] in the big bilnd (I would usually raise, but with two callers, a suited AQ, and position on the SB I decide to just call). Everyone is full stacked.
2) Flop comes [6h][2d] ($24 pot): Checks around.

3) Turn comes ($24 pot): SB checks. I don't see how the SB checks twice with anything, and I highly doubt UTG+1 is checking that flop with an overpair. I semi-bluff for $18 for several reasons. UTG+1 calls.

4) River comes ($60 pot): I don't see what he can have but AK or maybe QK here. I bet $50.





Hand C is full ring: I am dealt [Ah] UTG. I bring it to $8. Folds around, CO calls with a $150 stack. Button and blinds fold.

1) Flop comes [5c][2s] ($18 pot): I lead for $15. CO calls.

2) Turn brings ($48 pot): I check with the intention to check-raise him all in (he has $130 behind). He bets $15. This seems extremeley set-ish on a 952 rainbow flop so I opt to just call instead, figuring he's drawing to two outs or I am.

3) River comes . I check. He bets $32. I call.

1. I don't understand what shoving accomplishes here, a bet of 55 does the same exact thing without over commiting yourself when behind. Also a bet here allows a river check behind barring a non diamond turnl

2. Don't mind it and the suckout is nice.


3. Fr meh I suck at FR; but I think I raise the turn still maybe not AI. $55 looks good.

Hand A) I hate the push, and I think $30 is a bit excessive. I think he has two kinds of hands. 1) A set or baby flush that doesn't want to see another card or 2) the A[d] .

Once he calls you're flop raise, its far more likely he has set/flush, so pushing doesn't really help you.

Hand B) I don't really like calling a x4BB raise with AQs, and I sure as hell don't like it OOP. If I did for some reason, I'd lead that raggedy flop and be done with the hand if called.

The problem wtih AQs in a raised pot is you really don't know where you are if either an A or a Q falls. Yuck. When you are OOP, you cannot check behind on the turn so you lose the ability to control the pot. Double yuck.

Hand C) I think if you are going to play your hand like that at FR, then go ahead an limp AA UTG.
