Bet the turn and river in Hand 1, why did you check?

I agree. If the guy has a flush draw, for example, you'll regret failing to bet here. And if you're raised on the turn this will allow you to re-assess things.

I agree, where did you lose the other 85bb's, these hands are bread and butter we can discuss the turn in hand 1 but even thats not that big an error.

Hand 1. I was afraid that CO has AA, J9 or set. /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Hand 1: Don't slow down on turn, ram 'n jam.

Hand 2: Why the stop and go? How did 7 help your hand?

Hand 3: Raise the flop.

Hand 1:
The pre-flop 3-better is all in, so the pre-flop cold caller is the only other person to worry about. Raise the turn, call down to the 3-bet. BB could have anything, CO probably has AJ, KJ, or QJ.

Hand 2:
3-bet the flop, if capped call down if a blank falls on the turn.

Hand 3:
I don't see a problem.

You need to stop calling flop raises and then betting out from EP on the turn with marginal hands. You are very open to getting raised.

In Hand 4, check thr turn , then watch how the action unfolds. More than likely, the flop raiser, who is last to act, will be the first one to bet. From there, a raise should elimate the rest of the field having to face 2 bets and hopefully, this line gets you heads up on the river. Also, you have to hope you don't get re-raised. This play may not be best, but it beats betting out the turn.
