Hand 1: I think it was my first orbit, but I had #'s on both villians...Statistically CO had solid TAG #'s but I hadnt seen him do anything special postflop. UTG was pretty bad(45/1/.6 kinda guy).

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls, 3 folds, CO raises, 1 fold, Hero calls, 1 fold, UTG calls.

I've never prided myself on my blind play, but I assume this is a standard call...ya?

Flop: (7 SB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets, Hero raises...

Hand 2: Villian was "that guy", always talking about suckouts and whatnot...I think he was having an ongoing discussion with another dude about the WSOP...sounded like a complete tool. His stats were like 35/9/2.00

Hand 1 I think I 3-bet PF and lead flop. Easy flop c/r the way you played it.

Hand 2 I c/r flop and take it from there

Hand 3 I check turn and call a river bet or bet if checked to.

Interesting hands. I'll go first so I can be wrong and everyone can tell me that I suck.

Hand 1. I call this at 6max, I'm not so sure about full ring. Anyway, I think that the flop play is great. Obviously you follow up on the turn. What do you do if he 3 bets the flop?

Hand 2. I hate 2 pair on a board like this. It seeme that every turn is the fecking King. And knowing my luck he has AK. So I check-call the flop and checkraise the turn.

Hand 3. I'm pretty sure you're splitting here. Check behind and call the river. Or not. The pot is tiny.

In hand 1, I could see folding depending on this guy's numbers. I could see calling only if the BB is loose. If I call, it's because I expect more multiway action. I could also see 3betting if this guy is a rampant stealer and isolator, especially one who'll give up on the easily flop if he whiffs. As you played it, I agree w/ TME. Easy c/r.

Hand 3: I def. bet the turn I don't want to give a free card to a gutshot.

grunch....

hand 1: yah pre-flop is standard. You mean call vs raise? You can't consider mucking...
On the flop, I'm torn between bet/call and check/raise. At least with the c/r we can safely fold to a 3-bet. At the same time, we don't want to give overcards a free turn card. If this is the kind of standard villain that auto-continues his overcards, then c/r is perky. The bet/call sucks because his raise may only be positional and for a free card. 3-betting is spewing, I think.

hand 2: check/raise fo' sho.

hand 3: based on the turn, I believe you are crushing him. I don't think any value bet will keep him in tho, so check to induce a bluff on the river. Actually, you are chopping if he has a weak Q. Raising his bluff on the river could make him fold so you get the entire pot. I think this is worth checking the turn. This is based on the read of "nothing worth mentioning."

Of the 3 options, I felt that 3betting PF was the worst, because the UTG limper would have no problem calling two, setting up a potentially [censored] situation on the flop OOP.

Hand #1 - probably 3-bet PF. Nice flop C/R.
Hand #2 - options galore. I'd probably just bet/3bet since you're getting raised so frequently.
Hand #3 - This is not a set-up. A weak player bets the flop and checks the turn with a good hand almost never, so I bet. I think he'll call a turn bet more often than he'll bluff the river after you check the turn.
