    Losing Prop Bets
    Raise when you are winning(flush, you did good), don't raise when you think opponent might have a big hand(opponent overbet with straight on turn, bells should be ringing as you are on a draw to a flush or a boat, don't raise).

    Hand 2 was the only hand I think you could have avoided a larger loss than you did. But it's fucking hard to get away from 2 pair plus flush draw.

    Hand 1 - I would raise the flop over that weak bet. As played, raise the turn. You want his stack, not 10BB. River call fine.

    Hand 2 - 1) if you're playing T8s from the button raise
    2) raise more on flop, $4
    3) donk over-bet on turn: this is often 2 pair, I guess sometimes stronger. I would just call, but I guess the min-raise bought you a cheap show-down

    You're going to loose $$ with flopped 2 pair vs turned straight. You didn't loose too much.

    Hand 3 - 1) If you're going to play TJ from the button raise.
    2) fold the flop, you're drawing to a gutshot, the overs aren't very strong.
    3) turn, raise more - oh, $2 behind, just push.

    This hand is really a bad beat

    Don't play un-suited connectors while short stacked. You need all the implied odds you can get with those hands.

    Why didn't you raise the turn in hand 1?

    Hand two I'd play just about the same.

    Hand three was a pretty terrible flop call.

    hand 2
    hand 3 fold preflop and dont play short stacked

    Dont post results.

    Hand 1: I raise that turn, as played you cant fold the river.

    Hand 2: I would consider this a fairly standard raise PF, limping is probably +EV but raising is without a doubt a better play [in most circumstances]. With your stack size I just push this turn, a minraise doesnt make a ton of sense. This river is pretty opponent specific and against some Id definitely bet without a ton of though knowing it has a positive expectation, but readless I dont think a check behind is horrible. However, that advice was for a full stack, given your stack Im probably pushing this river and expecting to get paid off by a worse hand here, but I think it is close. Either way, Id rather get it in on the turn.

    Hand 3: In MP Im folding this a huge percent of the time, and if I am playing it I am raising. Given your stack size though this should be an auto-fold. Reload PF man, honestly dont just let your stack drop this low. Same advice as before, push the turn, what is the sense in leaving yourself with $2 for the river?
