#1 I prefer to raise KQs in MP. ap, I raise flop to 8, to define hands and to hopefully fold out MP2 and CO. Any reads on UTG?

#2 Wow. I´d call at least. One hand beats us, we beat a good chunk of sets/2pair/TP-hands.

#3 SB´s bet is suspicious. I´d raise to ~30 and fold to push/turn donk.His bet could easily be any Ah-combo, TT/JJ

#5 U cant fold getting 5.5:1

#6 Leading the flop will make decisions easier. Ap, I´d check/felt here

Number your hands.

Hand 4: I can’t fold here. He calls until the 1 card straight is possible and he is checked to on the river. I call at least.

You fold as weak as I do but you do it one street earlier. There is a lesson in that for me. If I could find a fold earlier I would save a ton of money (assuming I’ll fold later anyway).

Also, I have no doubt that at least one of these are folded winning hands but I can’t find it.

really though bbq, i don't want to just yell at you and say don't fold. if you are doing this stuff with any regularity then you have a leak. at least your leak is on the side of caution though and not on the side of tard-spew. can you take us through your thought process in 1,2, and 4?

Hehe.
Let my try it:

Hand 1: Ive improved to trips but my opponent is betting hard (near pot) on a scary board. The pot was limped PF so he didn’t like his hand enough to raise. So he either has Kx where x is low or he has 22,55,44. [a straight is possible but extremely remote]. I fear he has a set, I am not calling that!

Hand 2: He limped UTG so it is possible he has KQ. He is betting hard on a 1 card straight board so he must have at least a straight. Not to mention that the SB has something but who knows what. I MUST be behind to one of them. I am outa here.

Somewhat close bbqsquirrel?

Hand 1
Opponent is not out of line. He fired flop multiway, got called in 2 places but fired out a slightly smaller bet again on turn when flush draws are dead, and then bet close to full pot on river. Therefore I think he has a set turned house.

Hand 2

I played this weak because 1) both opponents are non-donks 2) possibly of KQ (esp by UTG) 3) possibility of somebody freerolling w/ Qdxd, or AQ which is indeed the case here

Here's why I check turn: Who's going to call turn? Probably not even a 7, since the holder of a 7 will have to fear another bet on the river. If I wait till river before valuebetting I'll probably get calls from 7 / 2-pairs since they have no fear against "hammer of future bet"

On the other hand what if I bet and get raised -- call and evaluate river? Most of the time river changes nothing, and I have to call another stiff bet hoping for a split at best ala what DaMinkie (BB) had to go through. Or if river is a K/Q/diamond, and then we check/call? check/fold? bet/fold? bluff and represent the flush/higher straight? Since the pot is now bigger, neither give up nor call down seems too attractive

In conclusion I don't think this is a big-pot situation, and checking turn certainly keeps the pot size in control.

Hand 5
I though this is one of the more standard folds. KK on QJx board in a reraised pot and OOP. I was putting CO on JJ -- when he minraised flop it was an instant muck.

I was most bothered by hand 4 (52s). The guy bet weak on flop on a drawy board and called behind caller when the flush came and I fired turn strong. Plus BB was sticking around with who knows what hand.
However, the more I thought about it the more I hated the fold, because of the cheap price I was getting.

whoops i meant hand 4 when i said 5...i will edit

in hand 1 your hand is really really under-repped. you played like you had a flush draw. it's a limped pot and a worse K is very likely.

also, in hand 2 you are forgetting that turned flush draws will call your bet (limped pot and checked flop makes this a real possiblity), and i think you are underestimating how often a 7 calls.

and it sounds like you already know that hand 4 was a bad bad fold.

 Hand 1: Raise preflop imo? As played I have no clue.

Hand 2: Meh. You've voluntarily put $0.50 in the pot, so understandable fold. Edit: I just realized that this is 5-handed, so maybe a raise preflop is good here.

Hand 3: Raise more preflop to cut in against the odds underpairs and suited-connectors and shit have against you. As played, I think it depends on what you think of SB donking out like that. I probably raise flop.

Hand 4: Check/call on the river is good here, except you misclicked and folded on accident instead.

Hand 5: What kind of flop were you looking to hit? KKx? I lead here because of the flush and straight draws but against certain opponents I could go for a check/shove here as well.

oh ya hand 5 is really bad too. first how can you check a multiway flop with draws when you hold a big overpair and secondly how can you c/f a big overpair especially when the bet to you is 20 to win 90?

 I think your w@SD% (60% if I remember correctly) is too damn high. You need to pick up the phone on these damn hands.

I just logged another ~2o k hands where I run at a more humanly rate. My rate had dropped down to like 7.5 now

Some of them (3 and 5) turned out be good folds
Hands 1 I already offered my insight. The guy was a non-donk so all I beat was KJs/KTs while I lose to AK/sets
Hand 2 .......
Hand 3 (KsKd on a 10-high triple heart board) I thoght people will berate me a lot. Obviously I thought too highly of SB.
Hand 4 I regret.
Hand 5 (Folding KK on a QJx board in a reraised pot) I thought is even trivial. I can't believe you guys are advocating me to go AI, hoping AQ would call?
