Hand 1: Why did you lay it down there and not sooner? The 7 couldn't have devalued your hand that much if you thought it was good on the prior streets...You should have folded this one pre flop. The best thing you can hope to catch with A8 off suit is an 8-high flop, besides catching 2pair or trips or something that is unlikely. Bad hand to limp under the gun. Fold every street.
Hand 2: Now you're in position with a similar hand. You catch mid pair and its checked around to you. Not a great spot to bet with so many people in the pot. People are going to expect a position bet here and will probably call down with TP weak kicker, or any draw. Good fold on the river, looks like he made his flush on the turn.
Hand 3: On the flop, do you think your hand is good? If the turn had been a card lower than Q, would you have been raising? Or do you think someone here has a K? Good fold on the turn when the A comes, you're definitely behind now. I don't know if i like the flop call or not but it isnt' terrible.
Hand 4: Good play on the flop, not many draws on that board so you can afford to slowplay a little. Bet more on the turn, the pot is big at this point. Half the pot will still get a call from someone with TPTK here usually. Plus if someone does have the flush draw, your small bet is giving them close to the right odds to call. Good check behind on the river.
Hand 5: What is your reasoning for calling 1$ pre flop when your stack is 10$? Your stack isnt deep enough to play TT for a set in this hand for 1$. It's either re-raise if you think your hand is best (if villain has been laggy, raising a lot pre flop) or fold if he's been tight and you think you're hand is behind. I definitely fold when the action comes back around to me instead of call all my chips in...look at the action. Under the gun min raised, MP raised to 10x BB, you call behind him, button reraises after two raises in front of him(!), then the second raiser pushes after all that raising. SOMEONE here has KK or AA, another person has you in a race with two overs at least. TT is not going to hold up in this hand the vast majority of the time. Fold when the action comes back around to you. Nice flop though hehe.
