******* Hand 2 ********

Is the check behind the turn the best move? The flop check-smoothcall and turn check smelled suspicious. No read-- I only had 4 hands on villain.

******* Hand 3 ********

I normally don't slowplay a monster hand like this, but if the SB or MP1 don't have a K or flush draw I'm only taking down a small pot.

SB is all-in $4.67, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: $12.89


******* Hand 4 ********

Villain is 50%/13%/2.4 over 52 hands. Normally a check raise slows me down when I only have TP, but with his stats and the check-minraise, I thought he was on a draw. But I think I bet too much. He probably gets off his flush draw with less and I don't bloat the pot as much in case he's got 44 or A4.

#1; Easy fold.

#2; Bet the turn.

#3; If none of them has a king or a flushdraw you wont win a big pot anyway. Bet the flop but as played the call on the river is good.

#4; I would be very worried if the SB check raises me in an unraised pot, but if your read is that he does this with draws and maybe even worse aces than yours I guess the raise is fine. A call is okey and then take it from the turn.

 Hand 1: Its pretty close. I think you can call this against some players.

Hand 2: I lead the turn, theres no reason to think he has a ten here (not that its impossible, but there nothing that makes it any more likely).

Hand 3: Bet the flop. If no one has a K or a draw you aren't getting value anyhow. As played, I raise the turn a little harder.

Hand 4: Thats how I play it.
