There are better ways to improve your game than posts like these. How about posting a real converted hand once every couple of hours and read through and reply to other peoples posts while you are checking up on yours?

hand one: it's good that you are considering raising and you seem to be doing it for the right reasons. I lean towards raising because I think 2-3 players will cold call it.

hand 2: cap pre-flop and go from there

hand 3: you can 3 bet all of those

hand 4: who cares
