Another few tough spots I found myself in, not sure whether I made bad decisions or not.

No reads on villain at this moment in time.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, 4.
2 folds, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 9, 5, 6 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks, Button checks.

Turn: (2 BB) 8 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 bets, Button folds, SB folds, Hero raises, MP1 calls.

River: (6 BB) K (2 players)
Hero bets, MP1 raises, Hero 3-bets, MP1 caps, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 14 BB


I really feel I made bad plays on this hand, all involved villains are LP-P.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with T, J.
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, 2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, 1 fold, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 8, 5, J (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, SB calls.

Turn: (5 BB) Q (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, SB calls.

River: (10 BB) T (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, SB raises, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls.

Final Pot: 16 BB


With no reads, I've been making this play a lot with AK when it doesn't hit, is this standard?

Hand 1: Bet the flop for deception
Hand 2: SB had a 9 here almost always. I would consider folding
Hand 3: Count your outs.

hand 1: I agree with betting the flop not only for deception, but you don't know the likely aggressor based on the preflop play, someone's drawing to something, make them pay even though they're almost drawing dead

hand 2: laying 14-1 with 2 pair even with a 4 straight still seems like a crying call, but fnord makes better laydowns that i ever would

hand 3: you're giving too much credit to the cold caller, lead out the turn to see if you can get him to fold, if not, you still have outs

You can't beat a 9 and the SB just went out of his way to c/r the field. It's pretty binary, beat 9x or beat a bluff. How often do you think he's bluffing?
