If you are posting this many hands, use a converter.

Hand 1:
Id simply limp here, if Im raising Id make it 2.50. The flop you have to fold, you arent getting odds to draw to a flush, and even if you were I would still be weary to call because you are only getting action from a better flush.


Hand 2:
PF is fine, flop is fine and Im actually unsure about the turn. What is the common consensus on how to play a set on a flush board and 4 to a straight? I think I would check behind and call a bet on the river, you are going to get a lot of weak hands to bet with a line like that, and on the turn a checkraise would make you ditch your hand and fairly likely and you arent going to be called by many worse hands.


Hand 3:
Preflop is fine but on the flop the pot is 4.50, I would make a bigger bet, probably between $3 and 4 to discourage flush draws from drawing cheaply. On the turn I would check behind as we have outs to the nut flush. River is a fold.


Hand 4:
Id probably bet more on this flop, but $4 into a 6.75 pot isnt bad. The pot is like $19 on the turn, you need to make a bigger bet there.


Hand 5:
Again, I would bet more on this flop and more on the turn. The river isnt my strongest street, but it really depends on your opponent. The board is fairly dry [just a few random straight draws] and he has been calling you down. Against a calling station I would bet for value, against a tighter player I would play it a little safer.
