I thought the flop call here wasn't that great, a paired board, players to act behind me. Turn call is ok when I pick up the flush draw I think. Opinions?

I think they're alright besides the last hand, thats a preflop fold because you're most likely up against AA plus your cards aren't really working together in any other way.

HAND 1

You are in poor position on a paired board with people to act. Any draw you have (or pick up) isnt even close to drawing at the nuts (or close to the nuts) FOLD the flop.

HAND 2

You have an ok draw, not great. But those $5 bets are offering you 8-1 and 11-1 to call. A no brainer. Why bother even raising when you are getting such a splendid offer on the table with these bets? Easy calls on the turn and the flop.

On the river, I bet more. Good chance of getting paid by a worse str8 or a set (or even two pair from some of these yahoos)

If they have a hand enought to call the $10, they will call $20-$25 as well, so might as well bet that.

HAND 3
This is stack size dependent. Your stacks are NOT deep enough to make this call. If you both had $100+, then I call. But your call puts 1/2 you stack in the middle. You have virtually NO implied odds should you hit a good flop.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd rate calling=0/fold=8/pushing=7

Thanks for the replies!
I agree that in Hand 1 the flop call was pretty weak, on the turn it's not that bad a call is it when I pick up the flush draw?

Hand 3 I wasn't sure about. I'm most likely up against the Aces as Josie said, but I still thought that if I pick up a king or even a weak draw then I would get paid by AAxx if my draw hit.
