[joker122]

3 - kind of tough...you don't beat alot of his possible hands anymore. i guess i bet and see what happens...probably calling down hoping for a split?

5 is probably a fold preflop.

6 - i think that river call is pretty fishy. he's not betting anything you beat into 2 players on this board.

rest are fine.

[mikeyworm]

I call the river in hand two every time. I lead hand three and then call down if raised or lead the river if just called. C/R the flop in hand five. Play all the rest the same.

[RunDownHouse]

Hand 1: I play the same, there's only a couple big spades that might be out, and if they're going to draw to them, they'll pay two on the turn anyways.

Hand 2 (gutshot wheel): ugh. I think you have to call, but all that 8 probably did is cost you money.

Hand 3 (flopped top two): Hero does not bet the turn. What is BB cold-3betting with here? Against all his two pair combos, you're splitting at best. Against anything else, you're just about dead. If he's playing a flush draw like that, god bless him, and I'll end up giving the free card.

Hand 4: Good flop fold.

Hand 5 (MPTK): I c/r the pfr. The caller is telling you he doesn't have a T, and there's no real reason to put the pfr on a better hand. Take the lead. Oh, and this is an ok pf call. Domination is your biggest worry, but hopefully you'll be able to get away without showdown in that case.

Hand 6 (BP, SD): I don't really like the way you played this. I would have checked the flop to see what develops. As played, I fold the river, since I can't put him on a worse hand.

Hand 7: You did get owned. I don't know, maybe induce a bluff? I don't know how apt 5/10 players are to call a bet with A-high, which is the only hand that calls that you're ahead of (maybe a 4 too. I guess).

[Sakuraba]

Do you really not have reads on any of the players in any of these hands? Oh well. It is almost impossible to come up with any meaningful analysis without any reads at all (at least hand ranges that they will raise or call with before the flop and if they are generally aggressive). Hopefully, you actually have some of these reads while you are playing.

hand 1 - fine

hand 2 - fine, you probably lost, getting 10-1 this is an easy call. He could have a pair of aces (something like Ax of clubs would probably raise the turn) or something like 54.

hand 3 - I would just check and call down. Without a read, I think you are behind here a lot. If he played any made hand that you are ahead of this aggressively, he will probably bet both streets for you anyway. If he has a straight draw this aggressively, he may bet the turn anyway and may bluff the river insted of folding unimproved.

hand 4 - fine

hand 5 - I would lead the turn. Overcards are going to check through here a lot when the top card on the board pairs and you don't want to give a free card.

Leading the flop is another option. This would be particularly good if the PFRer is loose and aggro and would raise a worse hand than yours to knock out the other player.

hand 6 - really depends on the opponent, I think a fold is right against typical opponents.

hand 7 - The river bet is terrible unless this guy is a complete calling station who will call you with A high. The range of hand he likely has and will call you with otherwise is way too low.

I might have actually check folded the turn on this one against two opponents unless they were both calling stations.
