nothing too interesting to debate. just putting some HHs out there since the traffic has died down...

one... villain was a bit passive. i didnt raise the river. did i miss a bet, or was the Q pairing enough to spook us since the turn capped?

two.. a fun post flop "move" that works only when followed up on. how many of the newer players dont fire the turn to really sell it?

three.. i have no idea why i checked pre. i assume i was paying more attention to something else. but, how much did it really affect this hand? can we predict this? villain was running 95/33 over 95 hands and only folded to cbets 13% of the time. his AF was a 3! granted, 95 hands isnt a lot, but we automatically know he's a loser long-term and likely overplays his hands. i should have 3bet the turn, too....DAMN!

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

hand 1
play looks fine. I think the call on river is fine. A passive player raising is never good. range of hands in SB which he caps on turn (Q4, Q5, Q6, 44, 55, 66, 64, 65, 45) you only beat three. Maybe I'm too passive but I give passive player credit on river.

hand 2
well played. seriously did the board really hit him.

hand 3
I'd reraise turn with set trying to get value from 2 pair and pair/ flush draw hands. if he hit gutshot on turn that's poker he gets my money. Then I'd yell at the poker gods and make crying call on river.

1. fine, you only have the dumb end of the str8, raising a passive there may be too much.
2. NH
3. PF is fine. He could be a maniac, so wait to see the flop to either call down cheapest or give him hell with a set. I'd 3bet turn given his stats, c/c river to induce that last bluff from him. If he has a 4 or a 9, it's just a cooler.
