This was about the 5th hand on this table.
Actually, this pre-flop call was a misclick :-(
However, how much do you bet on the flop? Did I bet too much? This draw we have to bet it, right?
Do you try to steal the pot on the turn? I think we are beat unless we hit the flush ...

Do you bet more on the flop? Do you bet the turn?

My image was tight/aggressive. trigo07 was very loose and made a lot of river bets with air against only one opp, Ardbe1974 was more tight.
Do you fire another barrel on the turn?
Do you call the river? even if trigo07 is loose there is still Ardbeg1974 to play, so he surely has something ... maybe middle pair or two pairs or a J.

Hand 1: fold preflop most of the time here, 8xbb is way to much to call with a suited gapper. I'd bet maybe 2/3 pot and see if that buys me a free card on the river

Hand 2: I'd rather check raise this type of flop. Probably have to call turn now, villian may think you are weak though after your check and I don't think he would push with a set after you checked.

Hand 3: Preflop raise to big with AQ in EP, as played on flop and turn, fold river

hand one fold pf, playing this hand oop to any raise is bad. (i know you said it was a misclick though) anyway, you flopped huge with it. i like to c/r here and play it for stacks. betting out gives you little fold equity. c/r and get pot commiting money in on the flop.

hand two i like how you played it, you trapped him on the turn now snap call. this board is about as safe as it gets. never ever fold, either make a pot commiting turn bet or c/r c/c.

hand three depending on the players you can bet or check, river is an ez fold though. hes just not betting anything you beat on that board. also your pf raise was just fine.

Thanks for the comments!

Hand 1: Yup, I thing check-raise was best here as I'm ahead!

Hand 2: Actually, as villain was he could be trappying with a set ... or a straight. I called and he showed 64s for the straight. That's poker!

Hand 3: Yup, I also think this is a fold. I folded.

1. Preflop: meh, but you probably know it. Drawing hands like position, and your position is worst possible.

Flop: Building pot OOP with draw is rarely good play. If he calls and turn bricks you have tough decision. If you complete your hand, he may get away. As Penfold said, checkraising AI would be better.

Turn: You are lucky that your opponent sucks and doesn't have any clue about big bet poker and makes really wimpy bets. Half-decent villain would bomb that turn with good made hand 90% of the time after your check.

River: G00t, this river is unbluffable.

Hand #2: Checking this turn with AA or other good hand is named "stack-a-donk trap".You can't be afraid of completed gutshot, if he has it - pay him off. Insta-call with pot behind.

Don't check good hands on draw heavy boards to loose passives. Straightforward play is much better here. Put him AI - flushdraw, other straight draws and top pairs will stack off to you.

Hand #3. $7.5 on turn would be fine, if they are loose they will call with top pairs and other crap, board is scary, but you are ahead here often. If some of those loonies check/push, then you can muck with confidence.

River: g00t
