More 5-max hands -- help?!

[Grisgra]

I have to show the results for this one, truly bizarre (and pretty representative of my last 1000 hands or so).

Did I wuss out on the turn?

[Guy McSucker]

Hand 1 is just a bit silly. That's life. It might be worth raising the turn since so many players like to get jiggy when they pick up a draw to go with their pair, which might have happened here; if you know this about the opponent, it helps.

Hand 2. What are you doing? There's no need to defend with T-8, I don't think, but I am bad in the blinds. Since you did, I like the flop action, but checking the turn is like waving a white flag and screaming "I don't have an ace". If you're planning on calling the turn, I prefer to bet it. Most sane players will muck if they have nothing, and it's really unlikely you'll be bluff-raised here. SImilar for the river.

Hand 3. I like your line, you tricky so and so... The river raise is nasty, but you must call. Looks like you're losing,

Guy.

1 - i like raising the turn a bit - its otherwise a boring hand

2 - dont raise the flop unless your going to bet the turn

3 - i think thats a standard sort of a line - i like 3 betting the flop a lot because the turn getting checked through is a disaster - tempted to 3 bet the river but i suppose i just call - if he has a 3 it seems he is playing the same slowplay game as you

having read a bunch of hands you played i think you play too slow on the flop

Hand 1: I would probably raise the turn.

Hand 2: I would bet the turn when I didn't fold preflop or the flop.

Hand 3: I would 3-bet the flop on a board like this. I don't want to give a free card to his overcards or flush draw. I also don't want to find out on the turn that he has a 3.

Seems like I play more aggressive on the flop than you.

I´m just gonna say what I do, right or wrong, hopefully someone will correct it if its way off.

1) I fold preflop here, raise the turn and folds to a 3bet.
2) Fold here too, I bet the turn here. If he decided to take one off with KQ/KJ/QJ then it sucks if he takes the freebie.
3) This or 3betting the flop.
