Some sets. Want to know if my lines are ok.
Hand 1:
Both Villains are loose but I just got to the table after watching an orbit. I've seen enough to know. I just call the flop because I'm sure I can get more action by taking a chance.

- Hero sitting in seat 1 with $100.00
- Adde_666 sitting in seat 2 with $107.52
- hoosiertime sitting in seat 3 with $62.25 [Dealer]
- Im_SO_High sitting in seat 4 with $110.43
- Fiude sitting in seat 5 with $80.88
- sraven111 sitting in seat 6 with $56.45

Im_SO_High posted the small blind - $0.50
Fiude posted the big blind - $1.00
** Dealing card to Hero: 3 of Spades, 3 of Hearts
sraven111 raised - $2.00
Hero called - $2.00
Adde_666 called - $2.00
hoosiertime folded
Im_SO_High folded
Fiude folded

** Dealing the flop: 3 of Clubs, 5 of Hearts, Queen of Hearts
sraven111 bet - $6.00
Hero called - $6.00
Adde_666 raised - $12.00
sraven111 folded
Hero raised - $42.00
Adde_666 called - $42.00

** Dealing the turn: Ace of Diamonds
Hero went all-in - $56.00

Hand 2:
Villain is 27/20. I usually reraise TT but didn't this time. Should I really fear 89 here?

- diew sitting in seat 1 with $167.88
- gladrock sitting in seat 2 with $133.09 [Dealer]
- Slan_abhile sitting in seat 3 with $53.99
- Hero sitting in seat 4 with $115.95
- bajje sitting in seat 5 with $100.00 [Sitting out]
- MrDonkey2U sitting in seat 6 with $168.60

Slan_abhile posted the small blind - $0.50
Hero posted the big blind - $1.00
** Dealing card to Hero: 10 of Diamonds, 10 of Clubs
MrDonkey2U folded
diew folded
gladrock raised - $4.00
Slan_abhile called - $4.00
Hero called - $4.00

** Dealing the flop: 6 of Spades, 3 of Clubs, 7 of Diamonds
Slan_abhile checked
Hero checked
gladrock bet - $11.40
Slan_abhile called - $11.40
Hero called - $11.40

** Dealing the turn: 10 of Hearts
Slan_abhile bet - $26.00
Hero called - $26.00
gladrock raised - $96.20
Slan_abhile went all-in - $13.09
Hero went all-in - $75.55
gladrock called - $101.55

Hand 3:
Villain is 50/8. I check the turn in hopes of pairing the river. I have no idea why I min-raised the river - horrible play. At the time, his small bet seemed like possibly an overpair because he called my reraise on the flop (me very dumb).
- 89MUSTANG50 sitting in seat 1 with $98.65
- Bear1982 sitting in seat 2 with $235.61 [Sitting out]
- jorginhorvz sitting in seat 3 with $44.70 [Sitting out]
- tunchum sitting in seat 4 with $99.00
- crete4u sitting in seat 5 with $121.65
- Hero sitting in seat 6 with $128.15 [Dealer]

89MUSTANG50 posted the small blind - $0.50
tunchum posted the big blind - $1.00
** Dealing card to Hero: 7 of Clubs, 7 of Hearts
crete4u raised - $3.00
Hero called - $3.00
89MUSTANG50 folded
tunchum folded

** Dealing the flop: 6 of Clubs, 4 of Diamonds, 7 of Diamonds
crete4u bet - $4.00
Hero raised - $16.00

another bump. Sorry to do this. I haven't post many hands over the past month and when I finally do, they don't even get one response. If these posts suck, just write STFU or something so I don't feel so lonely.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Use a converter or clean it up manually. If a quick scan of the post is just a wall of text, I generally move on to the next post.

the first two are bad. raise the flop on both of them. build pots with big hands so scare cards won't kill your action.

gabe ... on the first hand, you're suggesting reraising with 3s?

Sorry ... reading and working sometimes have a negative effect on my ability to understand simple threads.

Prima, so no converter. That's part of the reason I don't post many hands. I have to remember which hands I had questions on and then dig them up in PT. Then try to fix them up to post. What should I do to make it better to read beside posting less hands in one thread? Not being a jerk - I want to make sure people can read them easily.

You are right gabe. I've been playing sets very fast lately with great results. These two mixup plays aren't worth it. AQ is calling big bets on a Queen high rag board regardless.

IowaSkinsFan will become famous soon enough

i don't raise on a river where no one with a worse hand will call you.

on second hand if he has 89 or 54 so be it, too many hands you're abosolutely killing here, and even with the straight you are 3to1
