Feel free to comment on only 1 hand if you want
Sorry I'm posting so many hands. Let me know if I shouldn't do this anymore, it just seems like if I made a post with one hand, first poster would respond and say "blah blah standard" and that'd be that. If any high stakes pro (must be a winner in 100/200+) wants to brush up on NL, I'd be happy to discuss hands over AIM or something (where you'd help me on limit and I'd help you on NL).

.......
I have no fold equity here, so is this a value bet or a chk call vs a higher pair or bluff? Not sure what to do. Also is flop call okay, I assume it is? If turn was king and he bets again is it a fold?

<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>
is it dumb to raise these flops since it's so dry, or should I wait till turn? I figure any pair calls me down here if I raise flop. if I call flop and go for turn raise, he might call me down with a turned pair...

betting turn is a spew here right? I assume no Queen will drop if I bet both turn and river. Would you call a river bet here if he led into you?

...Is this line stupid? I figure I have no fold equity vs a better hand, and don't want to get raised off my hand?

Any comments? I don't really like betting these flops where I have no pair no draw and can't showdown with A hi, not sure if I "have" to...b/c seems like these guys will call the flop with 2 overs, any pair or gut, then I'll have to hit a pair to win the pot. When I bet this river, am I forced to call the c/r? I know he knows that I just have a queen, so is he trying to get me off a queen enough % of the time? I feel like ANY king could make a value c/r on this river.
