Re: Playing the suited image hands
In hand 1, Q2s, how much would you bet on the coordinated flop if you had a made hand like AJ? I think you would bet more than half of the pot. I'd bet more to represent this, and increase the folding equity.
I don't like the bet on the river. Was it a bluff, or a value bet? I can't tell. I don't think someone with a king will fold. What worse hands will call?
In hand 2, 92s, you should bet the turn. Someone with a high heart (and only 7 outs) will call something then, but not after missing. Or, you could bet enough to push someone with a high heart out. These are both better than checking behind.
In hand 3, 65o, I think you should bet the flop. You have a gutshot and perhaps 6 pairing outs. It's pretty likely that you will simply get the pot without a fight. If you get check-raised by the big blind, you can call with a gutshot at the nuts, position, and a lot of money behind. You'll have to fold if check-raised a substantial amount by the short stacked small blind, though.
You should bet the river. You will get paid off by a 5 or worse much more frequently than you will lose to a flush who didn't bet. Someone may call with just a pair of aces.
