Typical 5-10 game. My image is VERY VERY tight and my raises and bets were getting a lot of respect.
First hand: I'm in the SB with red kings. 5 limpers, I raise, the BB folds and all the limpers call.
The flop comes As 8s 3d. I decide that I would bet once to see if I could take down the pot right now. Should I maybe just check/fold in this situation. In retrospect, I don't think any player would lay down any ace, but I went ahead and bet. All 5 of them called me. I figure I'm dead.
The turn puts the king of spades, giving me a set, but putting 3 spades on the board. I bet out, get called in two places.
The river is the 2c, a total blank. I bet, get called, then raised, I call and the caller calls.
Did I play this right? Should I have re-raised? Should I have bet the flop in the first place?
Second hand:
I'm on the button with Ac Qc. 5 limpers, I limp, SB folds, BB checks. 6 people see a flop of Tc 9h 4h. The BB bets out, all 5 limpers call, I decide that since I am closing the betting, 2 overcards and a backdoor flush is good enough to see one more card for 11-1.
Turn puts the Ah. Checked around, I bet, get called in two places.
River puts the Ad. Checked around, I bet, get called by one.
Should I have raised pre-flop for value? Should I have called on the flop? Were my turn and river bets ok?
