Alright my apologies up front because this is my first time posting hand histories on here and I could very easily butcher it. I just copy pasted my hand histories from Party Poker into the hand converter under the bet pot format...so if Im doing something wrong let me know...here goes..This hand I was dealt A 10 in the small blind, which I would normally raise, but there were already 5 players in the pot and I do not think my pot equity edge is enough to raise this for proper value..so instead I decided to just see the flop cheaply, correct or wrong? Then, I had trouble playing it post flop because of my position..]2 folds[/color], Hero completes, BB checks.Flop: (6 SB) [K :diamond: ], [8 :heart: ], [Qc] (6 players)Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 bets, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, Hero folds, BB folds, UTG+2 folds.Turn: (4 BB) [7 :spade: ] (2 players)MP1 checks, MP2 bets, MP1 calls.River: (6 BB) [J :diamond: ] (2 players)MP1 bets, MP1 calls.Final Pot: 10 BBNow this hand it was folded around to the SB who raised... I had pocket 33 so I decided to play back at him... I was multi-tabling at this time so I didn't have much info on this guy and I was putting him on a steal...well he capped the betting and came back at me on the flop putting me in a tough situation...How would you have played it??Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is BB with [3 :heart: ], [3 :spade: ]. 7 folds, Hero calls.Flop: (8 SB) [5 :club: ], [7 :heart: ], [J :club: ] (2 players)SB bets, Hero folds.Final Pot: 4.50 BBNow finally this hand.. I pick up pocket 10 10 and raise preflop...The flop comes 2 overs and I get bet into..I raise (not sure whether I was trying to scare the bettor or get a free card)..by any means it gets checked to me on the turn...should I fire another bet to try and win the pot or back off because I know I'm most likely beat??Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (8 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP2 with [T :spade: ], [T :diamond: ]. 3 folds, BB calls.Flop: (4.50 SB) [A :heart: ], [Q :spade: ], [9 :diamond: ] (2 players)BB bets, BB calls.Turn: (4.25 BB) [2 :heart: ] (2 players)BB checks, Hero checks.River: (4.25 BB) [J :club: ] (2 players)BB checks, Hero checks.Final Pot: 4.25 BB

1st hand is fine. Raising A10 suited is one of the most argued points on this forum. Either a raise or a smooth call is correct, depending on who you ask :PPersonally, I'd only raise in position or if the number of people in the pot was fewerYou are correct to lay it down, with only a gutshot draw and an overcard in a small pot.2nd hand is horrible. Sorry but a raise in front of you with 33 should be an automatic fold. I don't care if you're on the button, it should be a fold, not a three bet!!3rd hand is also not a good play. Sure, it's heads up. Sure, you showed aggression preflop. But when your opponent leads out in a pot with two overcards, raising could just send you over the falls in a barrel. I'd probably smooth call and see if he bets out again at the turn.

I cant understand why you were in any of those pots as long as you were. I'd say you overplayed the 3's (especially if the scare cards were going to take you out so easily). Raising with the tens is odd, when there are two over cards, but not completely unreasonable. Folding the inside straight i'd say is correct.

These are good hands for critique.First hand, I raise from the SB. ATs does good multi-way and you want to build the pot for draws and your equity. Had you raised pre-flop, you may have had the odds to see the river....the turn at least. But that's results oriented.The second hand with 33. Just call the SB's raise and then raise him on the flop. See how he reacts from there.The third hand with TT, I fold. It's either raise or fold, depending on who you're playing. If it's checked to you, sure, bet...but he bet into a pre-flop raiser. It's like if you 3-bet an early position raiser with KK and the flop comes down A-high and he bets into you, you don't raise...But, since you did, are you calling a river bet?

Hand 1:Raise PF, with this hand your pot equity is high. So raise it PF and then bet the flopHand 2: PF call plain and simple, if he had been constanly attacking you BB when its folded around then maybe three bet, but you don't have a real read on him so just call. With missing the flop its just basic to dump thisHand 3: PF play is fine. Flop riase:ummm questionable, don't mind it but its not recomended. With that being said if you are to raise on the flop with the tens then you need to fire ashell out on the turn and river. If you get checkraised on the turn then you need to dump it as you very well might be drawing dead if you ten hits. Really though dump it on hte flop as someone could very well be holding AJ A10 or KQ, any other hand that could match up with that flop you would've been threebet back at
