******* Hand 1 ********

Turn c/r all-in missed. Couldn't put them on a hand at the river so I made a lame 1/2 pot bet.

******* Hand 3 ********

I played every street different here than I usually do.. UTG was 11/6, so I didn't want to raise the flop because of lack of FE. I probably should've done it anyway to get a free card?

Turn c/r didn't work out, I was positive Button would bet with 4x/lower flush or set.

At the river I still put button on the same range + air so I checked.

These look good. Hand 3 is a dangerous river check but if you have a read then go with it. Hand 4 I probably check turn and shutdown. Even if you're ahead there's a pretty good chance you'll get sucked out on regardless of what he has.

bet the turn more often than not in hand 1, but checking sometimes is fine

that AJc hand is gross. raise flop or at least bet the turn

1) I'd usually bet the turn here. With that many callers you are bound to get some action. A c/r is not a bad idea, but I think a lot of the hands that you want to pay you off will fold to a turn c/r, because that line shows enormous strength.

2) Looks good. I might c/r ai on the turn if I felt he was capable of folding Aces up.

3) I'd probably raise the flop here. You have a ton of equity against any overpair, and some FE. But I understand your reason for calling.

I was positive Button would bet with 4x/lower flush or set.

Huh? Obv a lower flush will bet, but I think 4x or a set checks behind here often. A set would raise the flop, so I don't see how that's even in his hand range. So I would definitely bet the turn.
wtf? river check? I don't understand. If the pot was HU with button, then maybe, but you can still get a value-bet from utg, who would probably will pay off with an overpair given the action.

4) Tough spot. I always wuss out here, but I do think you have a ton of FE and the right move would be to push, esp if he views you as tag. There are almost no hands he can call a push with given the action, except maybe the slowplayed nut flush.

I like hand 1 because your line makes absolutely no sense.

[r8ed]

I'm not a huge fan of cr's unless it's against an aggressor you know will still pay you off. It's a huge show of strength that will let people get away from hands easier and if they don't bite it gives free cards (unless you have the nuts). I think it's better just to bet in both cases. Nothing you can do about the str8 flush.

Hand 2 looks perfect.

I like the check in the last hand. This is one of those rare times you fire two barrels and realize you just have to give it up on the river.
