Hand 1:
Bet/raise at every oportunity, so yes, cap it!

Hand 2/3:
I'm torn on the turn play here too.

Hand 4:
I play it the same

Hand 5:
I 3-bet pre-flop and fire away from there...

Hand 6:
Fold the turn?

Hand 7:
SB could 3-bet a wide range of hands here, I might even cap pre-flop. I like it.

Hand 8:
Play it the same, but I'm probably too passive. That is a pretty ugly river.

Oups, sorry, hand 2 and 3 are the same one doubling up. I might need a new keyboard for the ctrl-A-ctrl-c-ctrl-v-sequence. /images/graemlins/mad.gif
