I check. Checked around to LP who bets, I call with two others. 4 to the turn.

I bet out. Folded to LP who raises. I 3 bet and he caps. 2 to the river.

He shows 99 for the better house.

hand 1. you played fine. them's the breaks.

hand 2. Why cap the flop with top pair, jack kicker? And you missed a bet on the turn when checked to you.

hand 3. seems you lose to a full house there, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me again.

Sorry, I meant to put A6 /forums/images/icons/diamond.gif for his hand. Then somehow I messed up editing it. Thanks.

Hand 1

I like your turn bet and 3 bet. When an overcard falls on the turn, it would be too risky to go for a checkraise here. However, when LP caps the turn, he's telling you that you're trip 2's are no good. Assuming a normal player, that means he has 88 or 99.

So on the river, although you have improved you're still losing. But it's heads up, check call the river.

Hand 2

At first, I didn't like your capping the flop, but I think that it was a decent play; probably better than calling as it gave you the opportunity to see how strong MP's hand is and to decide whether you wanted to take a free card. I also love the fact that the blinds are cold calling all the way.

I think that the turn check is OK, unless you're prepared to lay your hand down to a checkraise.

When he checks the river, you know your hand is good, so value bet it.

Hand 3

I think that the flop bet with 2nd pair against 4 probably very loose players is questionable, but not awful.

The rest of the hand is fine.
