Hands for Review #1

So in an effort to improve my post flop play I have decided to play some ring game instead of solely playing SNG's. I started out 4 tabling (I 4 tabled #33 sng's so am used to that pace) the $25 tables with the intent of writing down some hands where I questioned how I played them (and probably rightfully so).

Please take a look at these hands and let me know your thoughts on them. Unless noted assume that there are no solid reads on players.

1. I don't mind a c/r on the flop here, but your hand gets significantly weaker on the turn. So, if you're going to check-raise here, repping a monster on the flop, it should probably be a bit bigger. He's getting 3.75:1 to call here, so you don't get much FE even if he's just second-barreling with something like a weak pp.

As played I like the river, a jack probably pays it off. If you get raised a significant amount, you probably have to go away.

2. This one would kill me, too. If we're good we're missing out on a v-bet or two, if we're bad we stand to lose a lot.

3. Unless the table is really really tight, I muck this preflop. There are just too many sticky situations to be playing OOP.

His line is so weak I don't know how we can get anything of value out of this... I play it as you did on the flop and turn, but I'm trying to catch a bluff on the river.

4. Raise pre, make them define their hands a little if they want to play. On the turn, we only beat a flush draw, so if we can honestly say that's like 60-70% of his range, we're good here. I prolly muck the turn.
