Hand 1 - Fold the flop. This could just be my generally tight play, but to a raise and a reraise you've gotta expect to be behind, either to a pair, maybe 2 pair and then the flush draw.

Hand 2 - Some may have raised preflop but I don't think anything is wrong with that.

Hand 3 - No you were correct to bet the turn, the flush and straight possibilities had come up so a bet would have given you more information as to whether he does have the draw or the straight. He didn't so you took it down. Well played.

Hand 4 - TT, yep that does suck sometimes. I'd be tempted to 3-bet it preflop, then if it does get capped by the original raiser you can expect to be behind when 2 overcards flop so it will be an easier fold.

Hand 5 - Fine.

Hand 3: Bet the flop. You are more likely to get a call on the flop than you are to check and get a call on the turn.

hand 4: Fold on the flop to the check-raise. If you have a good read, or think you can push this guy around, you can also 3-bet the flop, but if he doesn't fold, you better get out.

Everything else looked fine.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Hand 1: CO could easily have a flush draw. I'd call the raise and see if my hand improves on the turn. You're getting 17:1 on the call for Pete's sake. I'd consider leading the turn after BB and UTG check to see if CO still likes his hand, but if I checked, I'd call the turn bet and check-fold the river. I could be incorrect here, but that's how I'd play it.

Hand 2: I think I would call this flop bet and check-fold the turn.

Hand 3: Fine. The turn was a little too coordinated to give another free card.

Hand 4: Raise preflop. Check-fold the turn.

Hand 5: Fine. Sometimes you don't get customers. Checking wouldn't be terrible since it's heads-up and you have the Ah.
