I think I would bet the flop in Hand 1. I like the others.

Anyone else?

Festis · #4 12-17-2004, 07:06 AM

I bet hand 1 and keep betting on the turn, if raised I will fold.

steamboatin · #5 12-17-2004, 07:07 AM

I bet the jacks for sure and I might bet the flop on the others depends on my read if have one. I have been guilty of overplaying top pair.

phy1234 · #6 12-17-2004, 07:09 AM

I agree with the rest: bet out on hand 1. Rest looks good.

hand 1 your not going to win this by beting the flop, as your going to get at least one caller so your commiting yourself to a turn bet if a blank falls or a check fold if any type of scare card falls (including overcards) i would fold this on the flop as even if you get little resistance and bet till the end you may well end up losing this to a bettor kicker. Check the flop if checked around and a blank falls bet the turn if not fold.

Thank you marching for saving me the time of writing this, you are dead on.

Hand 1:
I would be looking to CR to thin the field if I want to continue. Unfortunately your relative position is no good. The turn is an easy fold.

Hand 2:
The board is fairly coordinated, the pot is small-ish, its a big field and you're not getting a J or 7 to fold. The flop seems like an easy fold.

Hand 3:
This seems different since its heads up. I can see a single [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] raising here, so I might go for an SNG on a blank non-club turn, and fold to a raise or check/call minus reads on another blank non-club river if called.

I would have check raised hand 1, folds on the others look fine.
