All look good. On the last one I might check river, Im not sure if they fold anything you beat on the river. Calling a bet would be player dependant.

Well, then this has been an exercise in futility... thanks for the response though. I'm trying to find where I'm playing poorly and someone said I should post some overcard hands. Maybe I should post more?

Hand 1)
I would bet the turn. I don't like the check and call, you don't really have the odds after you discount your outs. Plus, check and call gives your hand away meaning you'll probably have to bet the river if you improve rather than going for a checkraise.

Hand 2)
Good line if you figure to get the free card.

Hand 3)
I guess there is enough doubt to call the river. Meh.

Hand 4)
Routine.

Hand 5)
Get a better hand to fold since he's hoping you have AK? Maybe, but it's usually better to try and induce a bluff. He may even check through with a pair.

i wish more hands like this were posted,as these are the kind of hands that you have to deal with most often,the raise pf and miss the flop ones, and i hate playing them [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

is there ever a time when you raise pf miss the flop and have only 2 with you that you should just check? is it always standard to bet?

hand 5, yea not many small pairs will fold,they usually will call on the river with them,id check hoping they bet and call them.
