10 hands for review.

Questions on some hands please and medium pairs.

Find myself on the wrong end of the stick when i call with 77 or 88 early. Should I drop these EP in a typical game 2/4? 99 and TT I have success with though.

Hand 1)
I wouldn't pop him again on the turn, he could eaisly have AJ/AQ or an 8.

Hand 2)
I don't think that putting the BB on a draw is a good read. If he was drawing he would not have raised and shut out the players behind him.

Hand 3)
Yuck, 3 bet the flop then check-fold the turn? How about call the flop raise then lead the turn or river.

Hand 4)
Limp or fold, doesn't matter much if you play OK postflop.

Hand 5)
I would bet the flop. Anyone with a queen would have bet.

Hand 6)
Raise preflop first in from MP2.

Hand 7)
Routine.

Hand 8)
Too much open limping from MP, raise or fold. Postflop good.

Hand 9)
Man, you need to find a looser table. If you are going to fold the river then you should fold to the turn checkraise, you don't have the odds to try to improve.

Hand 10)
Tough to win a lot with quads. I checkraise the turn for sure.

[PokerNoob]

Hand 1: Turn raise is a little iffy. Calling stations are not usually betting stations without something that beats top pair.

Hand 2: Bet the river since your kicker paired higher than the board paired.

Hand 3: Why 3-bet the flop if you're not going to call it down? This is the kind of hand I hate getting raised behind me by a decent opponent. After he raised the flop, I would think I'm down to backdoors or my ten pairing.

Hand 4: I toss this with only UTG in the pot so far.

Hand 5: I'll raise MP3 openlimper here.

Hand 6. I'll openraise in MP2 here, should make it easier to play.

Hand 7: Well played, but if the table is this tight, open raise.

Hand 8: Fold, or raise to steal on supertight table. Given the limp, I think you played it well.

Hand 9: I let go to the turn checkraise.

Hand 10: Bet the flop, there's 3 other aces in the deck and they will call. Heart flush draws with also call. Nobody is going to put you on a six, because you'd slowplay to that ace. You might even get CO to raise you. Then you can checkraise the turn. All out war will break out if CO has AA and somebody else was playing Kx hearts and a heart falls.
