-any better lines?

1. I play this the same, maybe check the flop, but I dont think betting is bad. You obviously have to call this river.

2. This is a shitty spot, but PF I dont think I can fold with 100BB stacks against only a minraise, Im also not folding an ace here against what could easily be a cbet. On the turn I again cant fold because there is still a chance we are ahead and we picked up a good draw that is very concealed. River is fine.

3. I like a flop check here. On the turn I really dont like the raise as I just dont see a ton of value in it. We see a weak bet, that typically means a weak hand or a very strong one. We are going to blow most weak hands out of the water and then get killed by the big hands, I just call this bet and most likely call a bet on the river. As played I most likely check behind here as well, I dont know if a bet would be _horrible_ though and would like to see whats others say here.

4. I dont know If I call PF with only 1 limper in before us, I guess it isnt bad though. On the flop I am leading with a PSB, the turn is more interesting though. It completed the GSD, would he really call with a K or an 8 here? I think its possible but wouldnt be surprised if this were just a move or some other random hand, I think this is an easy call. However, on the river when he bets big again, I think Im getting away from this pretty easily. Maybe if I have a few hundred hands on him and his turn and river AF are ridiculous, but most likely Im just going to fold here.

5. I dont know if I cbet here, he may fold 22 or something, but most likely we are just folding hands we are ahead of. Also, if we do hit an Ace or a King there is a much better chance of a bigger win because he'd probably expect us to bet this flop. There is also a good chance our hand is good unimproved. Basically, I dont like betting this flop that often, as played it's an easy fold.

6. Yes, cbetting here is spewing.

Thanks for the help!

Yah I agree with most of your comments.

With regards to Hand 5, I guess this may be one of my major leaks. I feel that at the end of a session I definitely have a lot of $9-10 pots that I lost (ie: raised PF, cont bet and then ended up losing the pot).

I think my stats for the last few days were 25/15 and cont betting about 65-70% of the time, is this too big?

Do most people check through this flop in hand 5, and call a turn lead by villain to see the river? raise a turn lead?

Anyone else?

<BUMP BUMP>

Anyone else have any feedback? sorry if these hands are too obvious!

I think hand 1 and 4 are mostly straight forward: call 1 and shoulda folded 4.

The others I could use some help with my lines though. Thanks a lot!
