3 hands from a sexy down night.

I missed a raise preflop here ya? How is everything else? Opponents in this hand are loose preflop, and do weird things sometimes postflop, but certainly aren't insane.

Both of these guys are complete fish. The SB plays almost any hand and is *usually* pretty passive, but sometimes he'll just play hands that make you go "wtf??".

Hand 1: I'd raise pre-flop as you mentioned and also bet the river after the MP checks.

Hand 2: I would usually just complete with a KTo in the SB however I don't mind your raise here. I would usually play the same post-flop although I would sometimes check-raise this flop, easy turn fold for me after showing strength on the flop and turn.

Hand 3: Against this SB I would play the same way

Hand 1: I would maybe bet the flop but wouldn't like getting raised so check-calling is ok. I play the turn and river the same - button's play makes no sense and you could never see that check coming.

Hand 2: I also fold the turn. The pot isn't big enough to see the river with at the most 5 outs.

Hand 3: I don't think there is another way to play this.

thanks for the comments guys, in case your interested here's how things went down:

hand 1: button had Q4o and MHWG

hand 3: SB had ATo and MHWG

Hand 1:

When the club doesn't fall on the river and MP checks you need to lead and pay off a raise. Your opponents will overplay their hands so much that even when you get raised often you'll be good.

Hand 2:

I don't like the preflop raise.

Hand 3:

If your opponents are really as bad as you say, you should cap preflop. Otherwise, you played it fine - a call down is definitely in order, despite the river spade.
