    Default Stars $1/2 and .5/1 hands

    I can't paste the hands through the hand converter because they don't show the big pretty cards, so I'm linking to the hands instead. Any advice appreciated.

    Hand 1. No reads on villain; flop bet seems standard with a huge draw and two other players in; turn I check behind for my free card with a probable 12 outs; river seems reasonable because I can beat a lot of Ax, sets, two pairs. http://www.flopturnriver.com/Poker-H...ut-538823.html

    Hand 2. I'm just wondering if anyone c/c on river instead of bet/call. I thought it was ok, because there are plenty of hands that call my bet that would have checked behind; Tx, 6x, middle pairs, Ax's. http://www.flopturnriver.com/Poker-H...ut-538831.html

    Hand 3. I'm not really sure yet what to do in spots like these; on the flop, he can have a lot of draws/Ace high hands, low pairs that I can fold out on later streets; turn I think I should have bet to protect, and river felt like an easy check behind with the K spade coming in. http://www.flopturnriver.com/Poker-H...ut-538834.html

    Hand 4. I'm trying to find spots to save bets when I'm beat, and in this hand I think river was an easy fold. Villain has been limptard and very passive, almost never raising pre-flop or flop, check-calling a lot. On the turn, when he comes alive, I'm pretty sure he has an Ace. Then, on river, I'm sure of it, but I call anyway getting 6.25 to 1. The thing is, I think I'm losing money because he has an Ace here well over at least 20 % of the time, so river should be a fold. http://www.flopturnriver.com/Poker-H...ut-538841.html

    Thanks guys!

    1) You really think he's 3betting a worse hand here on the river? It's possible I suppose.

    2) Sucks, but not much you can do about it. Checking behind is way to weak. Might fold to the c/r with a good read.

    3) Not how I would do it. I would call the flop and raise a non-broadway turn for a free showdown. But as played I think you need to bet the turn again. If you get raised you can throw it away and any two overcards have 6-10 outs against you so best to make 'em pay. In that case I don't bet the river though unless villian is a real showdown monkey.

    4) It's hard for even an aggressive player to bluff again on the river once you call the turn bet. Given your read on this villian, I'd say we're beat here too often to make calling down correct.

    1) Yes, he's 3-betting worse here a lot, like slow-played trips. Note that a set has you crushed.
    2) Just don't fold.
    3) I don't know, I think you need to bet the turn to guarantee a free showdown. But if someone is on a draw I wouldn't want them to draw for free.
