hand 1: Played fine.....I would have called the flop raised the turn to a non flush card. I like this play because your edge is much bigger to a flush draw with a blank turn.

Hand 2: Bad beat. 3 betting the river is pointless. Any ace splits the pot with you 95% of the time you are just kickin up the rake.

Hand 3: I would raise the turn. Most likely you would get a free showdown with a turn raise.

Hand 4: River bet is awful. So many hands beat you. Betting here will get raised by the straight or the flush and hands you have beat will fold.

Looks g00t to me. If you're really studly and have a great read you can fold to the river raise on the last hand.

Curious, why the hell did MP1 bet on the flop in hand 4?

1) You dont bet the river, there is a easy straight possibility and flush draw...id check the river..but mostly played like i would.

2) Id bet the flop here to get some money out of a drawing hand. heads up slow playing wont make you much money if you have the best hand. Even though he did have two pair and was slow playing it himself.

On the turn i wouldnt have reraised here...i would have just called. no reason to bet at it. You wanna get through this hand cheap as possible once the board pairs. I agree with the river bets including cap. You figure the only card that can possibly beat you are A/5 and theres very little chance of that, but he did have it

3) I would 3-bet the turn. as the 10 doesnt appear to help anyone. Id play the river the same. And id of lost just the same as you, sometimes you lose, no matter how well you play a hand.

4) I wouldnt reraise the flop here for strength. I would bet the turn like you did. You cant bet the river here. There are a ton of hands that can take you down. You just get through the river cheap as you can.

Hand 1: fine, I expect to win this like 90+% of the time.
Hand 2: you have to bet the flop. There is a flush draw out there, you're the preflop raiser, you must bet, giving a free card here is catastrophic.
Hand 3: meh, fine, what can you do, I wish everyone would call my AA with dominated crap.
Hand 4: I check call the river, with the flush draw getting there and a 4 flush on board like every drawing hand got there, but I want to show down, so I thing check/call here. Plus folding 2 pair here should be a crime in this game.
