Thanks everyone for taking part.

1. 21 raise / 1 call
I raised. All called. I folded when a 4th diamond hit the turn and it was bet and raised to me.

2. 4 raise / 18 call.
I flat called and surprise, surprise, UTG+1 shows K-Jo for the flopped broadway.

3. 22 fold / 0 other.
I folded. I guess this was to make me feel better since the flop had 2 10's and idiot Anytwo had J-4s, hit a jack on the river and took it down with 2 pair.

4. 16 bet / 6 check.
I checked and BB bet, 4 called and I check-raised. My hand held up.

5. 2 raise / 7 call / 13 fold.
I folded. Turn was a 5 and river a 4, no 3-flush. BB's A-6o sucked out MP's A-J. For those who raised here, wow!

6. 10 raise / 11 call / 1 fold
I called. River was a blank and I called again. UTG flips 9-9 for the flopped set. I raised 3 times including PF and he still bet into me on 4th street. I read him as TPTK no goot!

7. 7 call / 15 fold
I folded after the timer was down to about 10 seconds. This was really close. Button had 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for the flush and took it down.

8. 8 raise / 11 call / 2 fold / 1 abstain
I called as did MP. MP had K-Qo (huh?) and button had Q-Js. MHIG.

On all the close ones, I chose the more conservative option. Some cases I think it was best, others maybe not. I think there is a fine line between prudent and excessive aggression. I think I need to tweak the bar up a bit but not TOO much.

Thanks again everyone, this was fun!

1. Call. Raising is just plain wrong, IMO. You need to wait until fourth street to see if a bad card comes off. It bothers me that 21 out of 22 of you said to raise.

2. Doesn't matter much, but you should probably just call.

3. Fold.

4. Really doesn't matter much.

5. FOLDING IS TERRIBLE! When will you people learn not to fold your hands! I would call, not raise.

6. Call. No need to raise here.. he's representing a hand that beats yours.

7. Eh.. fold I guess. Pot's small and you can be drawing dead.

8. Call. Your hand is going to be good often enough.

The masses are dead wrong on problems 1 and 5. Time to hit the books again, guys...

Haven't read any other posts. Assuming a typical low limit online game.

#1) Call

#2) Tough but probably 3-bet

#3) Easy fold

#4) SOP is to bet out on the flop and reraise if raised.

#5) Easy call w/ pot odds here. Reraising is OK also but probably won't "work".

#6) Call down.

#7) Fold.

#8) Tough but most likely a fold.

I don't understand the people who want to fold in #5. You are getting an overlay in pot odds. CALL. The end.

#1 a raise is terrible on the flop but I've had too many beers to explain why exactly.

1. raise
2. UTG+1 would have raised with QQ preflop, so you're looking at either KJ or TT. Call.

3. FOLD!
4. Bet. I love being first up here because you are so much more likely to get raised later on without having to check/raise.
5. fold...but it's close I might call if I knew the players better.
6. call down to the end
7. fold
8. Fold preflop! call once you are here.
