I think I just call the 3 bet preflop and raise the flop.

Hand 4: I don't consider this a blind-steal. Seems like a reasonable openraise, considering the table conditions and your position.

Why did you slow down on the flop? I do think you need to bet the river.

Hand 1: MP3 is a little early for me with A9o but if you picked your seat right and have tight players to your left, then I'm kosher with it. postflop pretty routine.

Hand 2: this is early for me with KTo...any action at a tight table and I can't feel good about my hand. I usually wait until about the equivalent of CO to raise this when playing 6 handed, but meh.

Hand 3: yep. though with loose blinds I muck.

Hand 4: rock on, nice fold.

Hand 5: there's a lot you can do here. you can cap and call a flop bet then raise a turn bet, you can call the 3 bet and raise a turn bet, or you can cap and call down, folding to an ace possibly. depends on my read of BB, and how he feels about the fact that I'm a poster, etc. I assume you were calling a river bet, and I think unless villain is particularly tricky you can bet the river - he'll just call to see how he was drawn out on, if nothing else.

Hand 6: there is no hand 6.



so basically I added nothing new to the conversation. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

(hand 5)
river i definitely think is bet-fold territory. i definitely messed that street up.

here is why i didn't raise the flop. not sure if its right or wrong, but that was my thinking at the time. i haven't gotten many comments on the hand yet. so bump it up for me if you want [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hands 3:
If the turn is Qc instead of the Kc, what is your play?
What about an ace instead, or a heart (though this one seems easy), or any other card you want to mention?

I am looking at tweaking my turn play heads-up. I think I am a little too agressive right now. One possible benefit of this heads-up agression is when I get into a multi-player pot, my value bets and strong draw bets are getting called down by weaker hands from the players I have been overly agressive with when I had heads-up oppurtunities. So maybe my less than optimal play at times is benefitting me in other hands.

the K made the turn bet easy, but i'd bet Q's, Aces, and well most other cards. make your opponent hit a hand or guess what you have. the Ace is a scare card for him since I'm representing bigger cards than he likely holds. i can easily fold to a check-raise.

Thanks, I would have bet any card in that position and wanted to make sure it wasn't a case of my over-agression coming into play.
Without a K on the turn, do you check the river UI?
