Default Re: Help me Jack off?

Before I comment, I must say that player reads are very very important (obviously). No hand analysis is really complete without them.

Hand 1:

Tough spot. Given that it's heads up, I would have waited until the turn to raise. Having raised the flop I just call down from there. It may sound terrible, but I often find myself calling down in these spots, flop turn and river. Weak? Maybe; but too often in these games you get these guys using the stop-and-go on every street.

Get a read on the guy and call him down. Next time you'll be able to make a better decision.

Hand 2:

You're in pretty good shape, I'd raise for value. If you get 3-bet you clearly must downshift into check-call mode unless you spike your straight.

Hand 3:

I'd check behind on the river unless your opponents are truly horrific calling stations.
