Hello everyone!
Been playing poker and lurking around here for a few months, doing quite good, mostly thx to this board and a few books /images/graemlins/smile.gif I just bought pt and thought it was time to start posting some hands, to further improve my game.
Here are a few hands that probably seems straight forward to u guys, but I wasnt so sure how to act at the river...
Hand 1:
UTG seemed very loose preflop, would probably openraise with any medium pair. The table was also very loose and passive, many family pots during the last hands, so I decided to call...

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls,
Flop: (8.50 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, Button folds, BB calls.
Maybe raise?
Turn: (5.75 BB) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks.
hmm they seem weak /images/graemlins/smile.gif
River: (5.75 BB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB
folds, UTG folds.
decided to take a stab at the pot, was a dangerous looking card and I didn't consider it likely that any of them was holding a T. What do u think?
Final Pot: 6.75 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 5.75 BB, won by Hero.</font>
<font color="green">Pot 2: 1 BB, returned to Hero.</font>

Hand 2
Table was loose passive. Button was tight passive.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, CO calls.
Loose table, ok to call first bet? This was the first time I saw button raise, so I was almost certain he had a big PP or AK.
Flop: (14.50 SB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(7 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks, CO checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button caps</font>, BB calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, Hero calls.
With button capping I put him on AA or KK.
Turn: (16.75 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.
Ok he does not have KK...
River: (20.75 BB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, Button checks.
Ouch! Felt like all limpers hit their straights, flushes and Button hit his set /images/graemlins/smile.gif Very weak of me not to bet out here? Not sure if I would have called a single raise but most likely i would.
Final Pot: 20.75 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 20.75 BB, between Button, BB, UTG+1 and Hero.</font> > <font color="white">Pot won by Hero (20.75 BB).</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows Kh 9s (one pair, kings).
UTG+1 shows Kc 4s (one pair, kings).
Hero shows 7d 7s (three of a kind, sevens).
Button shows Ac Kd (two pair, aces and kings).
Outcome: Hero wins 20.75 BB. </font>

Hand 3
Only played a few hands with utg, so no real reads. Main question is if you would've bet this river? What about if being bet into at the river?
