A few hands.

[skyet]

I have been wanting to have some hands reviewed for some time now, and finally got around to it. No real reads, at least none recorded or particularly relevant.

(5 handed)
KQo in sb
All call, I complete.
7TA rainbow, check to button who bets, I fold

57s in sb
2 callers, I complete
JJ9. Check, bb bets, all fold.

AKo in co
1 caller, I raise, button and sb fold, bb and UTG call.
5dQ8h. Check to me, I bet, both call.
4d. Check to me, I check.
Kd. Check, bet, I raise, fold, call and I take it.

(Ring)
AKo UTG+2
UTG+1 calls, I raise. Button, bb, and UTG+1 all call.
953 rainbow. Check check, I bet, button folds and the rest call.
K completing the rainbow. Check check, I bet, all call.
5. Check check check, and I take it.

AQclubs in co
7 see the flop.
A87 rainbow. BB bets, 1 caller, I raise, bb and caller call rest fold.
5 completing the rainbow. Check to me, I bet, both call.
6. Checks around, BB takes it with A4o.

99 on bb. 5 see flop.
435 rainbow. Bet out, 3 callers.
4. Bet out, 2 callers.
4. Bet out, 1 caller and I take it.

AKo on button.
4 limpers, I raise, sb folds the rest call. 6 to the flop.
57dKh. Checked to me, I bet, all call.
3s. Checked to me, I bet, 3 callers.
2d. Checked to me, I check. UTG had T9d for flush.

Comments would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if I am neglecting to include any important info or if these hands simply aren't interesting.

I didn't include the bb 9To hand where I thought 7JQ flopped me the nuts and couldn't believe my good luck as 5 callers called me to the river. Ho hum.

Hi skyet.
Wow, these aren't too readable. Try sticking some suits in and maybe breaking them up some more next time.

Bet the River. There's too many worse hands that will call you, no reason to put anyone on the rivered 5, and some 5's would bet out anyway.

AQclubs in co
Standard.

99 on bb. 5 see flop.
Standard.

AKo on button.
Me I'd probably bet the river, but the fact that you had 3 callers gives a fair chance someone is on the flopped flush draw. If you can fold to a raise (knowing your beat) then I definitely prefer betting.
At your table you probably made the right play though.

Comments would be greatly appreciated.
Can I ask you, are you sure you value bet on the River enough (particularly when you have position for a free Showdown)?
Do you find you often check down to find you had the best hand anyway, shouldn't have been scared what they had, and cost yourself a bet?

Yes, it's a leap from 4 hands, but it's a feeling I get. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif
All things considered your play is pretty fine in all the examples I think. Certainly no major errors in play imo.

Oh and welcome to 2+2 and the SS forum! /images/graemlins/cool.gif
