h1: first hand turn is ok, river is check/call maybe if person has bet light before, but if he's a rock, easy fold. I can even find a fold to a river raise here

h2: i dont bet this board, but button might be raising on a draw? i call his turn bet but everyone else i fold

h3: standard

take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

hand 1) consider folding preflop - big unsuited cards are hard to play multiway. A puke-fold on the river seems ok. In my experience 95/100 times a typical villian has us beat.

hand 2) consider folding preflop. Betting into the pf raiser here is not really ideal for a few reasons: a) there's a good chance he has a big Ace that he'll raise; b) even if he doesn't there's a very high chance you're behind someone else, meaning you're bloating the pot when you need to improve to win; c) you can improve and still not win...C/c the flop, fold the turn UI .

hand 3) i would call down if i thought opponent was laggy. otherwise i would play it the same.

I'm following SSH preflop tables... because there were about 6 people to the flop every hand

But the second hand, I didn't pay attention to who raised, I guess I should be paying more attention to the game and not surfing the web

I think that 2-tabling is actually making me pay LESS attention to the game because I spend that time doing other things

But, yes, I was discussing the first hand on the ventrillo and I also came to the conclusion that I can only win 95% of the time there... on Stars, people check/raise a lot more, I have to watch out

Same as snowboard_31

Don't always play like the charts recommend, if is had been K10s it would be an easy call but K10 is difficult to play multiway

H1, on river I would recommend to just check, his line fits together with a flush draw or Ax.

H2, you are in bad position and can't know if anyone behind you are going to raise

H3, check/call/fold depending on reads, else just fold.

KTo/KJo are super tricky hands I find, some people may be able to play it in that spot but I cant. Quoting SSH it "tends to make top pair hands that do very poorly in multi way pots", and I personally cant get away from them. Just like Isac said right above here KTs would be an easy call because of the flush possibility which gains alot of equity in a multi way pot

Too many hands in one post (also did you have any reads at all?) but let me see if I can grunch this...

Hand One. I had a virtually identical hand last night with two exceptions: I raised PF (which would have been OK if I had been iso-raising behind *one* loose limper with fairly tight blinds) and I folded the river. Unless you think your villain is capable of a c/r bluff here then you're probably beaten and the pot isn't that big. I would fold.

Hand Two. Too many villains, at least one of them has an Ace. You could check/call one bet but check/fold is probably better.

Hand Three: You'll read over and over that the turn c/r is almost always 2 pair or better. I don't think that 7.7:1 is enough to continue when you may only have two outs.

They don't call KJ a trap hand for nothing.

Oh, no! Not another learning experience!
