raise preflop..buy your button

bet the flop giving free card on drawful board sucks

bet more on turn, for same reasons

river,,check if they are capable of bluffing missed draws, but I think you should bet 1/2ish most of the time

I think this is a good example of why not to slowplay. The ace was clearly a scare card, and it looks like those two guys might have both been on some kind of draw. You definately want to juice them on the flop and turn.

Bet the flop representing some sort of a hand. If everyone folds, you werent making anything anyways. You need to hope 1 might be on a flush draw, or have case 10.

I think I bet the pot on the turn. If someone is drawing for the club flush, they wont put in anymore money on the river.

Check the river or mini-raise representing a possible missed draw yourself.

With monsters other players need to have hands themselves for you to get paid. Bad luck if they dont have anything.

I think checking to the raiser on the flop is OK - you're obviously hoping for a bet but if he checks behind it makes any turn bet look more like a steal. I'd have bet a little more on the turn - say $8, and say $20 on the river. It's hard to get much out of this hand if no one has anything, but I think if they'll call $5 on the turn they'll call $8, and likewise on the river.

A few comments:

-Nothing wrong with PF, although it would be better to do this in situations where you'll have position on the PF raiser. Still, if you can get away from JT when you hit a peice of the flop but your opponent is showing agression, then you should be able to play these types of hand.

-I also don't have a problem with checking the flop. The button raised PF, so he might make a continuation bet. You can either call that bet or re-raise him on the flop. He didn't bet, so you bet the turn.

Overall, it look standard to me.

Not betting the flop is ok here... he checked to the raiser, and there's lots of draws to be completed on the turn (which hero wants). I probably would've bet more on turn though.
