Hand 1: Fold this preflop. I don't defend with QJo from the SB. BB is a different story if it's folded to me. You shouldn't fold the river.

Hand 2: If you raise the turn, it might be better to fold the river, unless villian is a real donk gaybettor. I might also call down from the turn onwards.

Hand 3: I'd check-call the river.

Hand 1: don't check this flop. Its obvious to most people what you are trying to do, people who 3 bet and check the flop aren't bluffing. If you were bluffing you would bet the flop! I'd probably call down on the river still, (ignore that crap about not defending with QJ its perfectly okay)

Hand 2: There is no reason to raise the turn, that Ace looks just as scary to your opp. as it does to you so there is really no value to the turn raise. Call down or fold depending on your opp.

Hand 3: check call the turn, induce a bluff, maybe C/R the river, fold to 3bets. You really didn't play it too bad, but i would suspect your up against a made flush.

Hand 1: Bet the flop. If you lost to X[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Y[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], you deserved to.

Hand 2: Check/call every street postflop. Your opponent has two possible hands here: 80% of the time they have a big ace, and almost all of the rest of the time they have a weakly played PP. Either way, you're better off not betting.

Hand 3: I bet this flop, and fold to the turn raise.
