I\'m not sure I\'ve ever posted a hand so here goes
 

Yes, maybe I should have raised preflop but often don't with AK cause I end up throwing them away.

This could be one of my biggest leaks, staying in to long.

Fire Away, I edited this to hopefully make it easier to read

Still difficult to read. Please repost this.

Thanks, you will get better responses.

Oh man were do I start?

First it's bad not to raise pre-flop and with Dead money on the table it's a super crime. I think they cut your hands off for this in some countries.

Next on the turn when it's 4 bet to back to you do you really feel good about K high flush?

I keep wanting to say I'd lay it down here, but of course I probably wouldn't.

Hi wdbaker.

First: Raise this preflop. I know you usally end up throwing them away, but you will find that you win more if you raise preflop, especiallywhen the game is shorthanded.

Second: Raise the flop. You flop a second nut flush draw, and a gut shot straight with a backdoor SF. by doing so you get a better read on Irish Cowboy.

Every thing else afterwards, i may have folded on the river after Irish riases and orignal bettor 3-bets, most likely an A is out. but some may feel you are justified in calling.

You should repost this in a readable fashion, you'll get more responses.

Preflop - Raise it up!

Flop - Raise. You have the second nut flush draw, a gutshot straight draw, and overcards. My main reason for raising here is to clean up my overcard outs.

Turn - I'd probably just call here, because:

1) Your hand is not likely to be drawn out on if best

2) By calling you:

a) Might get an overcall from a worse hand that would fold for two bets AND

b) Will be able to find out if your hand is best for one bet instead of two (if the player behind you raises you are toast)

Given that you raised the flop, you must fold after it is three-bet and capped. You are certainly behind either the Ad or 9d.

River - Like I said, you shouldn't have made it this far, but since you did, you have to get out here when it is raised behind you.

Thanks all for your good suggestions, I will take them to heart as I improve my game and try to figure out a better way to convert these HH into HH Narratives.
