My BR just hit over $1k so I decided to take a stab at a $50 NL table.

This was my second hand at the table, no reads on anyone.

Hand 1:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($15)
UTG+1 ($41)
MP1 ($67.50)
MP2 ($119.35)
MP3 ($51.45)
CO ($68.65)
Button ($40.70)
Hero ($49.50)
BB ($53.31)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K

, A

. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.50, MP2 calls $0.50, MP3 calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero (poster) raises to $2.75, 1 fold, MP1 calls $2.50, MP2 calls $2.50, MP3 folds.

Flop: ($10) T

, 5

, K

(3 players)
Hero bets $7.5, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $25, Hero.....

Hand 2:

After I get reraised, is pushing or 3betting a better play? UTG+1 was really loose, passive and overplayed big PP and TPTK. VP$IP was 39.1% after 100 hands. How transparent is 3 betting this kind of a flop? I think reraising here, screams monster, but if I smooth call I am going to end up with a more difficult decision if a heart falls on the turn. Any opinions?

UTG+1 ($36.20)
MP1 ($13.25)
MP2 ($49)
MP3 ($19.75)
CO ($48.25)
Button ($38.05)
SB ($56.30)
Hero ($53.35)
UTG ($69.22)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K

, K

. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.50, 3 folds, SB (poster) completes, Hero raises to $2.5, UTG+1 calls $2.50, MP2 folds, SB folds.

Flop: ($7) K

, 2

, T

(2 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG+1 raises to $8, Hero.....

Hand 3:

This is 25NL, the other table I had open while venturing up to 50NL. PT has Button as Loose Passive Agressive. I think this is okay, but his minraise on the turn really confused me. For some reason I don't think I played this hand well, but it would be really weak to fold on the turn.

UTG+2 ($25.58)

MP3 ($0)
CO ($19.37)
Button ($39.45)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q

, K

. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
3 folds, Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, 2 folds.

Flop: ($3.35) Q

(4 players)
Hero bets $2, CO calls $2, Button calls $2.

Thanks for the help!

1 - Read dependent.. without them this is tough. You say you just sat down so this is hard. I know it isn't always the case, but he has over a 200 bb stack so I think here I would just give him the benefit of the doubt.
2 - I would make is around $3.5 preflop with 3 limpers. I make it 20-25 to go on the flop and get the rest in on the turn.
3 - Whats up with the min raise preflop in Mp1 with QKs? Either make a real raise or not one at all. I like a call here and see what the river brings.

EDIT

Hand 3 - Nvm, I see that it is 25nl... you confused me going from 50nl to 25nl there!

Hand 1 I folded to the reraise.

The second hand I did reraise and put him all in on the turn.

Sorry about throwing that 25NL in at the end. That hand was the hardest for me to play with 2 other people in the pot. I was pretty sure I was either a little ahead or way behind after the turn.

I am still not sure on the last hand.

Thanks for the analysis.

1) Foooooooold

2) 3bet, push turn

3) At 25NL, I think I might just get it all in here.
