Hand #1 : Thank your opponent for not leading out and fold to his check raise.

How can this be right? TPTK and you are going to fold to a $1 more than a min c/r?

The pot is laying you 4:1 but you only have 5 outs at best. True that sometimes you will be ahead (although very very rarely, IMO) but sometimes you'll hit an 'out' and lose a lot more to a set. Simply put, you are behind, you don't have odds to draw, so fold.

#1 unless your first opponent is checkraising b/c he senses weakness, then your easily beat by anything that he would be checkraising with.. lay it down
#2, fold it no hesitation, he's usin a weaklead to have you raise him, for 1. he already has a big hand, or 2. likely, he has JQ for the nut str8
#3 you should be raising more preflop.. with that raise, looks like you want to narrow the field but still get a caller or two. id guess that its hard for you to lay down AA.. reraise flop, isolate the CO - he could be raising w/ KJ, AJ.. or a str8/flush draw.. you'll know more by raising here + picking up the pot here wouldn't be so bad

Thanks for replies.

On Hand 1, I couldn't bring myself to fold to the flop minraise, as that just seemed too weak. I can't fold to every checkraise, can I? Unfortunately, it made my holding obvious, and when he fired again on the turn, I folded.

On Hand 2, I couldn't figure out what the minbets meant. On the river, the only hand I'm beating was a busted flush draw, and a lot of those have a K, so it was a relatively easy fold.

On Hand 3, I just pushed to the min raise on the flop. Villian had a set (JJ).
