Lose more money on the first one, please. Unless he's weak/tight or super conservative.

Fold both of these PF, especially when raised.

On the first one you have to assume he has AK with the $3 turn bet: PFR, raise on the flop, raise on the turn.. he's either got a set or 2 pr, and I don't think he has K9. The only hand you beat there is A8.

Second hand, you have both a flush and straight draw with four villains. Yet you only bet half the pot, giving odds to call for both. Given that you have that many hands, .80 or $1 is the way to go. The turn bet is even worse. Once again you are giving them odds. You lucked out that the board doubled twice with the flush and you got someone to call your all-in.

The first hand, certainly should have folded pre-flop, oh well. I should point out tho, Dimitri, that I put in the $3 turn bet, he checked to me and cold called it, which put in some doubt of his hand, but I figured he just enjoyed me betting for him so I checked the river behind him.

The bets to give the str8 and flush good odds was intentional. I hadn't seen many bluffs at this table, so I figured if the flush or str8 came up, they'd bet and I'd believe them, so I put in enough that they would call and give me money ('cause I'm still odds to win). +EV for them doesn't mean -EV for me. Agreed that I got very lucky with the river card, but even if he hadn't called that woulda been a fine pot to take anyways.

You then again bet the .25, giving 6to1 to the first caller. Any straight or flush draws would correctly call that bet. Other then trying to mix up your bets or try for a check raise or something, I don't understand giving draws the correct odd to continue.

I'm over 50% to win the hand, any money in the pot is money in my pocket, so I kept the bets easily callable in order to maximize the money getting put in the pot. Generally I'd punch pot-sized, but yes, this was a bit of a mix-up play, betting like I had the draw.

it doesnt matter if you're favored to win the hand, you're giving them correct odds to call unfavored to draw out on you

People will call you given bad odds at these levels....trust me. They will not fold if they have a juicy draw. MAKE SURE YOU GIVE THEM BAD ODDS TO CALL BECAUSE THEY WILL CALL ANYWAY!

And if they dont call, you werent getting any money outta the hand anyway.............

If you wanna turn your daddy parts ORANGE eat some cheetos and watch some porn!

Not sure how you come about that when here, I did give them proper odds and I got extra money out of the hand anyway.

From a math POV, if they're going to call anyways, it does not matter what odds they have, their odds are completely inconsequential to your EV.

Yes, this line isn't textbook agression, but it's still quite +EV and isn't half bad for mixing up the play.

But "any money in the pot is money in my pocket" is a scary attitude to have. It will get you married to hands when you should just let them go. Look at the possible river cards and the probable outcomes:

A non-pairing club (8 in the deck, assuming someone's on the flush draw): you've got trips, put your opponents on the flush and fold to their bets.

An ace (2): here you'd probably get some money from them, although it depends how much. If they really thought you were on the flush draw, then they could think their ace is good.

Anything else on a table that doesn't bluff often, you're probably not getting much, if any more money out of them. They could think you missed your draw as well and try to high card you...

Overall in this situation, I'm happy making larger bets and possibly taking down the pot so I don't have to make a sketchy decision on the river.
