I usually play limit, and for the last week or so I've been trying to play some 6max 100 NL, with kind of sucky results.

In this first hand I have no idea of how I would get him to pay me off. My check-call-bet was a rather random result of my confusion.

MP ($76.45)
CO ($123.40)
Button ($117.10)
SB ($215.87)
Hero ($85.15)
UTG ($137.82)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
2 folds, CO raises to $2, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $1.50, Hero calls $1.

Flop: ($6) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $4, SB folds, Hero calls $4.

Turn: ($14) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players)
Hero bets $9, CO folds.

Final Pot: $23

This second one is a good example on how lost I am on playing draws in NL (in contrary to in Limit which Im used to). It ended with me thinking until the time was up and I was autofolded.

This third one was probably a bad rivercall. I guess I just didnt see a straight draw call my turn raise.

1) Dont slowplay flop. Just lead out.

2) Seems like a call. Youve got pot odds, and seeing as he has 9T/68/7T/set, probably considerable implied odds.

3) Yeah he had 89. That sucks, but just note him, and pay him off. I rarely find a fold on this river (if ever).

1)I actually like slowplaying here, b/c CO probably doenst have much of anything. Leading out is good if he's got an overpair or something but he only min-raosed PF and you'll probably just get him to fold, might as well let him bet a little bit first. I'd probably lead or check-raise the turn.

2)You have a pair, gutshot, and flush draw, granted you dont know which of your outs is clean but still I think you gotta call here getting like 2.5:1 + implied odds.

3)I disgree with the above, as there's a 4 str8 on the board. Its a tough situation, but this guys got an 8 here an awful lot of the time, and he knows you'll check behind so he bets. I don't see people bluffing in this spot very often, and thats all you can beat.
