Desperately need hand review!

[fluff]

I've suffered a rather large drop in BBs the past thousand or so hands, so I would really appreciate a brutal review on my play.

Hand 1: Opponents in this hand are your typical 2/4 calling stations, especially BB who sees maybe 60% of flop and goes to showdown way more than one should.

So there it is, let me have it.

[JDErickson]

1,2,3 all well played in my opinion.

[aas]

All well played.

Is there a specific line that bothers you?

Hang in there and keep playing well. It will come back.

[jujujaja34]

Fluff,

Ummmmm...standard?

Hand#1

Call the flop and raise a blank on the turn. Face the SB w/2BBs rather than 1 and if the BB has a Q w/ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif you'll pull the most out of him when he misses his draw.

I can't imagine a better hand folding or a worse hand calling the river so checking through is the line.

Hand#2

Raise preflop on the button w/JTs after weak limpers.
The rest is fine.

Hand#3

Call the turn; the BBs bet out into you after such aggression screams like he has the str8.

Peace,
Joe Tall

I'm not sure I follow... The only aggression I have shown is a very standard preflop raise.

[Joe Tall]

Oh wait, I assumed you raised the flop (as you should have) but that's what you get for posting mutliple hands. Meh.

Peace,

[fluff]

Yeah. I usually raise the flop here. I can't for the live of me remember why I didn't...

[fluff]

Hand 1: Main concern was flop raise. Looking back, having position and a bettor to my immediate left, I think raising the turn in case of blank would have been the better line.

BB turned over Q8o (no /images/graemlins/diamond.gif) and takes the hand with a straight. SB had Q6o, and my hand came in third.

Hand 2: I initially put SB on a high pair (JJ+), so I was counting on the straight to win it for me. Of course with 20 BBs in the pot on the river, I called when J fell anyway. Imagine my surprise when I actually won.

SB shows A9o, UTG had T9o.

Hand 3: Yes, I usually always raise the flop here. Don't know why I didn't. Villain turned over QJo and beats my boat. Anyone lose less money here?
