Hand 1:

[J.R.]

I pop the flop sometimes in hand 1, but not the majority 'cause I generally presume a cap out of position from an unknown is a real hand.

Hand 2. Yay. I could see a turn raise as well, but think a call is better after the flop coldcall behind you.

Hand 3: That turn fold is unbearably bad. You have an Jacks up (an overpair), a maniac pumping and two guys just calling and the odds to draw to the J (you have J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]) the few odd times you are beat.

Avatar,

Hands 1 and 2...OK.

Hand 3 I think is terrible. I think this is a definite cap both pf and on the flop and the turn fold is about the worst I've ever seen. Why do you think you're behind?

Edit...not only do I think you're ahead on the turn in hand 3 but even if you're behind you have odds to draw to you're two outs.

Hand 3. Cap the flop unless you thought the cap would slow the maniac down, in which case calling is fine since getting in a turn raise is so so important here.

I'd sooner strangle a kitten than fold on the turn here.
