I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Hand 1: Ugh, i think your way too commited here, and he could easily have KKc, maybe even hands like AcK, JJc... i think i sigh and shove...

Hand 2: Meh, UTG+1 and SB are both shorties, so probably suck and can easily be doing with with hands like TPNK n stuff.. MP probs knows this and can isolate with a lot of hands you beat, but i dunno what to put him on that you beat tbh.. Could be like KQs maybe.. i can't fold top 2 vs an unknown

Hand 3: Looks good

 hand 1 = shove

hand 2 = toughest of the three. The 3 bet scares the crap out of us, but it could very well be an isolation play. The devil's hand is the only possible hand I'd be worried about here, but not worried enough to not try and get it all in as soon as possible.

hand 3 = standard

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

hand 1. ouch. hates. surely hes only calling this flop bet with a club? without it and a decent hand a raise would be in order? I really hate that he has flat called.

hand 2. only cost $8 extra so far, so I walk away...

hand 3. why not put him allin on turn? I can't see a fold after this bet.

This is only 20x my normal buyin but i'm an armchair expert. Don't like reading hands like this before i go to sleep.

 I got it in with all three and lost all three. It's been a rough month so far, so this is really just a sanity check.

Dumb question alert: hand 3, you dont think he could have a flush??
Maybe :Ah: :Qh: or something??? isn't it possible he could call a pf raise with that??? and a call on the turn would fit in with that .
Not second guessing you, just trying to learn what your thinking.
Enlighten me please...

Hand 1: So gross. Uhm...call on flop would worry me. A lot. As chris said, sigh and shove.
Hand 2: I probably would fold.
Hand 3 I pefer check raise all in on turn but yeah, it's semantics as you'll see felt unless he's got like a 5 high flush and even then you'll probably still see it.

This is all coming from a donk at lower limits then you, so take it with a grain of salt.

Hand 2 seems interesting.

KQ, QJ aren't going to want to stack off in this muti way limped pot so if the money goes in we're usually not happy.

I'm pretty sure I would call the flop and go from there but I think folding on the flop is probably better, at least against my player base, considering the risk reward.

hand 2 is interesting when you fold and see their hole cards and then open up their notes, type donkey in two...

It's totally possible, along with about 30 other hands that villain has us beat with... although including suited garbage.

I think posting the hand is more about finding the best way to play the hand in the situation Hero is in. We can't really be folding our strong hand on the turn very often against this shorty without an extremely good oop read, so let's keep firing away at it.

Yup.

I think all of these are spots that kind of suck but that we've probably got to go ahead and get it in, with a kind of sort of maybe on hand 2.
