Hand #1 Fold pre-flop, and bet the flop

Hand 1: T2s in the small blind.
This is an easy preflop call. Bet the flop. Turn and river good.

Hand 2: TT
Bet the flop. Don't assume you're beaten just cause an overcard falls. That makes the rest easier to play.

Hand 3: AK
could not be more standard.

Hand 4: AJo
raise preflop. Given how the hand developed, fold the turn.

Hand 5: QJo
Bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river.

You're playing scared. Don't worry so much, it's just chips.

Hand 1: Bet the flop. The paired board is a perfect semi-bluffing opportunity.

Hand 2: Bet the flop. 1 non-A overcard shouldn't slow you down that fast. (I don't think MP1 could have played this hand any worse without finding his fold button)

Hand 3: Routine

Hand 4: I'd usually raise preflop. On the flop I'd usually go ahead and raise to buy the button and maybe take a free turn card.

Hand 5: Bet the flop. You most likely have the best hand, can't expect to get a checkraise off, and really don't want to be giving free cards on that board.

He picked up an OESD on the turn and his As can still be outs as well. I assume you just missed the draw.

I did miss the draw. My bad.

Why is this is an easy pre-flop call?

I wouldn't exactly say its automatic, but its a call. Its normally OK to complete with any suited cards from your SB with a few limpers in and a non-aggressive BB.

Hand 1: You have a borderline PF call. Assuming no raise from the BB, you're getting 10-1 here and you're 8-1 to flop your flush draw. But it's not to the nuts, and flopping a T could get you involved in a hand you want no part of.

Hand 2: You have to bet the flop here, for several reasons:

-- You might still have the best hand, and you represented strength preflop.

-- If you're ahead, you don't dare give anyone holding a J or Q a free card to beat you.

Betting is a far better option than calling here. You have a chance to thin the field, and only hands that can beat you will bet the turn. I think you could've saved a bet here.

Hand 3: Wouldn't have done anything different. If a blank falls on the turn, I might be inclined to C/R here.

Hand 4: You're fine here

Hand 5: BET OUT! You have top pair, good kicker against a fairly raggedy board -- for now. You'll get the spade flush draws and overcards to come along, and you have one of the flush cards yourself. You missed a bet here.

with 4 limpers, I'll take any 2 suited for half a bet. Your implied odds are huge and the hand is easy to get away from if you miss.

Makes sense. Kinda like limping with 22 and pumping or dumping depending on the flop.

Thanks guys!! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

though by no means am I as good as alot of the poster's here, but...

1. I probably would have folded this pf. That said, a bet on the flop wouldn't be out of line, your just under 2:1 to make your flush by the river. Otherwise looks good.

2. This is probably pretty debatable, but I would bet the flop. If you check it after raising pf it tells ppl you don't have a K (unless you c/r).OR I would've folded to the bet on either the flop or the turn... I'm sure someone else has a better call on this one.

3. was played pretty much the same way I would have

4. I probably would have folded on the flop, but I have a pretty big hole in my game when it comes to playing overcards. When I do play them I consistently lose, if I don't I'd end up with the best hand alot of times...again, someone else probably has more solid advice.

5. I'd lead out betting on the flop here. you have top pair, and there's a two flush on the board. gotta charge anyone on a draw.

my .02, I'd like to hear what others think as well.
