Default Berate Me (3 hands)

A continuation of the I-understand-the-abstract-concepts-
but-haven't-yet-learned-their-practical-applications series staring me.

Interpoker .25/.5

Hand 1

Hero has Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in SB (8 handed)

Preflop:
1 fold, 3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks

Standard with a pot this large, I think.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 handed, 6 SB)
Hero bets, BB folds, 4 calls

A good flop for me, a pair with an overcard and a flush draw. Bet for value.

Turn J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5.5 BB)
Hero checks, 2 checks, MP3 bets, 1 fold, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls.

Not the flop I was looking for. I chek, hoping it gets checked around. Bettor plays by his gut; he's done some superlaggy things before (e.g., cold-call 3 bets PF). THis and other factors make check-raising foolish to me.

River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP3 raises, Hero 3-bets...

Again, standard.


Hand 2

Hero is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (9 handed this time)

Preflop
UTG limps, 2 limps, 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, 3 calls, UTG limp/3-bets, 2 calls, Hero calls, 3 calls

The limp/3-bet...is there ever a good time to do this at this limit? This, by the way, is the same player as in the previous hands (the preflop 3-bettor w/ J7o). He doesn't slowplay strong hands preflop; he bet/capped every street with AA and QQ earlier despite 3 flushes on each street.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7 handed, 21 SB)
2 checks, UTG bets, 2 calls, Hero raises, 3 folds, UTG calls, 2 others call

Huge pot and I've got two overs and a backdoor flush draw. Raise to clean up some of those A and J outs, maybe to buy a free turn (I have relative position vs UTG). I still don't have much respect for UTG.

Turn 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Useless turn. Luckily the free card worked, and I can see a free river.

River 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Checked through


Hand 3

Hero has K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in MP1 (10 handed)
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, MP2 cold calls, 2 folds, Button 3-bets, SB calls, 2 folds, Hero caps, 3 calls

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8:spade (4 handed, 18 SB)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls, Button raises, SB calls, Hero 3-bets, MP2 folds, Button calls

An unfortunately coordinated board, though it's mitigated a bit with the PF cap. I still probably have the best hand so I pump it for value. Should I have check-raised? I was terrified of it being chekced through, and I don't think a check-raise would really protect my hand with a pot this large.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 handed, 12.5BB)
SB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, SB calls

Another ugly card putting 2 separate 2-flushes on the board and maybe a straight redraw. It's either bet or C/R, but I don't like C/Ring with 1 to act behind me who didn't cap is a great idea. They'd probably call anyway.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
SB checks, Hero checks...

The worst card in the deck for me, possibly pairing an ace and putting a 3 flush on the board. I think betting wins me 1 or loses me 2 bets here.

Any thoughts are appreciated, especially over my thought processes.

It would help if I put the flop down for the 2nd, wouldn't it?

You obviously haven't played a lot of poker if you haven't seen the same card appear twice in the same hand, newbie.

It's been edited.
