Hero ?

How would you have played this hand? I probably butchered it, it didn't feel right to check-fold the turn, should I just have called down?

Pretty standard when the button bets? What would you have done if it was the BB and folded to you? Or MP and Button called?

Hand 1: A queen isn't folding and a TAGish player takes a free card a fair bit with AK. I'd check-call the turn and consider leading a favorable river card.

Hand 2: I almost always call the flop and look to raise a non-big turn card. I think the preflop is fine unless he is very exceptionally tidy preflop.

Hand 3: I would like hand 3 if the button is a known aggressor and you had a better kicker. You are beat by any K and most Ts (but beat stuff like QJ and middle pocket pairs). I don't think the pot is big enough to fight over unless you had an overcard kicker (AT) or were against a button who you know is betting a lot of hands here. If BB bet you would be getting something like 5 or 6 to 1 to call a bet made into a two other players, so I'd just fold, the pot isn't big enough and his flop bet shows decent strength, even if he is fairly aggressive.

Hand 4: Against a laggy guy I's raise the turn and bet a lot of non-flush, non-straight river cards, taking a free showdown otherwise (I need to think abotu the river a bit more if you pop the turn and get called). The thing I don't like so much is you have to call a turn 3-bet and then get into sticky spot when he bets a small black river card, but against a guy this aggressive I think the turn raise is the way to go.

Hand 1: Why did you choose to check/raise the turn instead of reraising the flop? No way I'm folding this HU. I think a check/call is in order on the river.

Hand 2: Call down the turn/river, bet if checked to. An opponent this aggressive is likely to be out of line on this board.

Hand 3: Excellent.

Hand 4: Put in another raise on the flop or turn. Your opponent is absurdly aggressive and you are usually ahead w/ 88.

Hand 1: I call down the turn and river

Hand 2: Call down

Hand 3: Same way I'd play it. Nice hand.

Hand 4: Mabye raise the turn, but I would take your line most often. Bet if checked to.
