JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later
 

Edit: First two hands were on first orbit at table so no reads yet on the players. Third had was much later -- villian was 38/9.5/2.5 on 40 hands or so.

Re: JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later
 

Hand 1 - some reads on villian perhaps, slowdown on the turn raise
Hand 2 - what kind of player is UTG, could he be c/r you with JJ-KK on the turn? Is he raising these hands preflop?
Hand 3 - What is your read on UTG, What hands are you putting UTG on? Looks like a easy fold especially by the river

Not to sound like an [censored], but I think you need to start watching what kind of hands your opponents are showing down. Reads will save you a lot of bets on hands like the ones you posted.

*edit hand 2 - I have no clue what I was looking at above, but on hand 2, I would check behind on that turn and call a river bet from villian

Re: JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later
 

#1 - call down or fold after the turn raise depending on your read.

#2 - fold the turn

#3 - OK

Re: JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later
 

Grunching:
Hand 1: Just call down after the turn raise.

Hand 2: Turn play is fine, because you are getting ~10-1 with a good chance of MP3 calling behidn you. Jacks are almost certainly outs, and a K could give you a winner. I think it's worth a call here. I think I would fold the river here. HU, it might be a call, but with MP3 behind you, I don't like the river play.

Hand 3: Looks good. Pot is way too big to fold on the flop, with just one overcard. Turn gives you a flush draw, so you have to see the river. River card isn't too great, better players might be able to find a fold here, but I would probably want to go to showdown getting 14-1.

#2 - fold the turn

Do you really fold the turn here, getting nearly 10-1, with a strong chance that MP3 will call behind you? I don't think I could fold here, given the big pot and the fact that I have some outs if I am behind.

Re: JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later
 

Hand 1:

You dont need to cap preflop. Just call, because you are hoping that your opponent has overcards such as AK, but he might have a higher pocket pair.

Following from the above, you should not have 3-bet the turn. You are just giving away bets to your opponent if he has a higher pair.

Hand 2:

Fold on the river. You had a bad flop and were probably behind when your opponent raised you on the turn. Nonetheless you had some outs to improve to a straight or full house by the river.

Anyway, you didnt improve and you were definitely beat on the river, so fold.

Hand 3:

You dont need to cap with so many players in the hand preflop. Just call when you are reraised with JJ. Your hand is vulnerable to A, K or Q overcards.

The K on the flop was bad for your hand. Your opponent who reraised preflop probably had AA, KK or AK. You are almost definitely beat.

Calling the flop bet to see if you improve was ok, but you should probably have bailed out and folded on the turn. It was just too likely that you were behind here and drawing very slim.

Re: JJ hands - 2 consecutive and 3rd one later
 

Hand #1

You can fold the river in hand #1 - you are never good here.
The one hand you could have possibly beat just filled up.

I just call the turn raise.

Hand #2.
I check the turn, every time.

Hand #3
Fold the river.

Hand 1 - 3 betting the turn is really bad IMO, I think you're behind most of the time given the action to that point. I just call down after the raise. As played I pay off the river, he is unknown at this point so maybe he's going crazy with AK, and I think it's likely enough at these limits.

hand 2 - Would kind of depend on what read you have on villian (what did he show down in hand 1), but I think I fold, there's really not much he could be semibluffing with

Hand 3 - Have odds on the flop and turn, folding the river is likely an option, again if he has been showing down monsters when he gets aggressive I fold, if in other two hands he has shown down hands that don't correlate to his aggression I would call.

EDIT: You should only be capping preflop in hand 3 if you have reason to believe that he is 3 betting with hands that you're ahead of.
