Raising then autobetting missed flops. (Warning: 10 hands)

[GTSamIAm]

I would only autobet if heads-up or 3-handed with position and I know the two players are relatively tight. Otherwise, play by the books.

1: Check/call, there are too many people in the hand to bet

2: Fold, you missed the flop, unless UTG+2 is aggressive

3: Raise, he's not necessarily betting a Q, the pot's big

4: Either raise or call, leaning towards raising for a free card

5: Check/fold, four-handed you have little edge

6: Easy check/fold, this is an awful flop for you to see

7: I would have folded pf after two coldcallers, but now that you 3-bet pf you might bet with your backdoor flush draw. I'd usually check/call.

8: I'd 3-bet here almost always, unless the raiser is super tight. And that would be a hard fold.

9: I think you need to have good player reads here. If he would bet a scare card, I would raise the flop and bet the turn. Otherwise, usually fold, even though it's extremely painful.

10: You probably still have the best hand against bad players. Bet to prevent a free card.

This is definitely a big fat leak of mine, too, probably stemming from my no-limit tournament background. I definitely autobet everything I raise because checking as the PFR screams "my overcards whiffed."

That said, I'm still a winning player at .50/1 because . . .

1) they fold;
2) they call and I hit my hand on fourth or fifth street;
3) they call down and show weaker UI OC's than mine

. . . often enough to offset when I lose because someone called me down with fourth pair.

However, I'm starting to keep better track of which players will fold or call me down with bad hands so I don't indiscriminately push so much that my AF is more than the price of a gallon of gas. In California.

This is how I'd play these hands:

1: Bet and hope UTG raises to blow out anyone hanging around with a gutshot. Call if it's one back to you and see what the turn brings.

2: Fold. The K is bad news. What could a LPP be betting with that you beat?

3: Raise to isolate the SLAP. He could be betting with a 10.

4: Ordinarily I might raise here in the hopes of being checked to on the turn to see a free river, but against a TAA that might be wishing for too much.

5: Check. Your hand is toast and if Button is weak, you might just hit your set on the turn for free.

6: Bet. That's a fearsome flop and you could take it down uncontested.

7: Ick. I auto-bet this one, but it's a big fat leak in my game.

8: Reraise. You have an outstanding hand! Push that mother.

9: Fold. The A almost certainly wrecked you.

10: Bet, representing an overpair.

*grunch*
1) check. Too many players involved.
2) fold.
3) raise, and re-evaluate
4) Call and see what the flop brings, or fold . I think this situation is a hole in my game as well.
5) I wouldn't have raised pre-flop there, but I'd bet out and see what happens. Could disguise your hand to be stronger than it is.
6) bet into passive field. If any callers, re-evaluate. Any raises, fold.
7) check/fold. Nothing exciting about this flop, and you are OOP
8) re-raise/cap - unlikely either has a 5
9) fold
10) bet, fold to any raises.
