Preflop: Should I raise more from the Button? I was thinking more of a Pot Sweetener if I hit.

Flop: Should I make a raise as a continuation bet? I just called due to gut shot and backdoor flush draws ($40 into $350 pot).

Turn: Really don't think I can make a steal here against 3 opponents, and my FD is dead, so happy to take a free one.

River: Not sure why I bet...I guess there was no reason to believe AA or 8 was out there. Bet size? I was prepared to call any push, so kinda wanted it to look like a steal.

Preflop: Should I fold this hand? So far, there isn't much raising, but I know I am in EP with a marginal-to-garbage hand.

After that, I think I played it fine...anyone disagree?

Preflop: Another marginal call, but suited to the King with a small middle wrap, I just can't get away 'o)

Flop: Normally would've bet more, but forgot the pot had been raised...why can't PS have a Bet Pot button to make my life easier. Well, at least they add up the bets during the round into their pot total to make pot odds calcs easier, so they get a push vs. UB.

Turn: Now I bet what I should've on the flop!

Preflop: OTB in a limp fest suited to the King and small tiny wrap.

Flop: Woulda folded, couldn't bet against 6 opps, so take a free one.

Turn: So, I basically have Three 7s, and Three 2s. Really loooooooosssseee call. But, with the 2 other callers the odds are getting better (ugh).

River: 1/4 pot bet from the villain who pushed the turn...shouldn't have been in this position, but call it down.

Preflop: Is this hand good enough to raise with in this position? UTG+1 limper while sitting at UTG+2

Flop: Top 2 pr with position and a flushing board. Call a 3/4 pot bet. Not sure if I get away on a non-scare turn, but we'll never know.

Turn: Should I have taken a swing here?

River: Value bet.

Preflop: Calling 1/2 price for top set.

Flop: OESD with no flush on board.

Turn: Planning to rep the str8 on the river, hoping to catch a 2 and that he hasn't already beat me.

River: Rep the str8.

Not really sure about this line, no read on opponent, just taking a stab.

Preflop: OTB with a suited Ace and a low wrap. Didn't like the BB raise, but 3:1 with position.

Flop: Prepared to go home with my wrap...13 outs. Anyone smooth call there? I doubt he lays it down for 340 on the turn, but maybe I get some play from the big stack.

Final Hand

Just picked one and pushed it:

I read Royno as playing at all raised pots, he called every PF raiser and any show of weakness was bet into, so I didn't give him credit for a strong holding. Luckily I dodged everything.
