hand 1: I think you should bet the turn. Noone raised you on the flop so stay aggressive. If you get raised call. River is finehand 2: don't like the PF call. You need at least two more in this pot to make this hand playable. On the turn either raise or fold. You just hit your hand here, but someone might've just hit their straight draw. If your gonna play this hand you need to raise, otherwise dump it. Plus this pot is ababy which leads me towards folding. The river was useless too, either pump or dump. You shouldn't have been in the hand in the first place. You want three limpers before you to make this call worthwhilehand 3: PF you need to raise in MP to gain position and put pressure on the other players. Post flop its finehand 4: no need to CR the river, IMO. you risked not getting paid off to gain an extra bet. This flop is coordinated so there is a risk that someone has a straight. Since you weren't raised then we can assume that no one has one. If your gonna CR then you need to do it on the turn. It is just wrong to pull that off on the river un;less you are dead sure that someone will bet ithand 5: PF, raise this is right out of SSHE. Your hand is too strong even with the multiway field. Your pot equity is gonna generally be better than all of the limpers, so raise it up. Flop is absolutley horrible. You must raise. It is a big pot and you need to maximize your chances of winning it. This is your pot and you don't want anybody taking it from you without them paying you as much as possible. This call is just terrible. The rest just plays itself out. But you took a unneeded risk of letting someone get decent odds to draw out on you. By calling your letting the PF raiser get great odds on hitting a set of Jacks or Queens(I'm pretty sure that's what he's got). Don't be afriad to riase when you've hit your hand, and you've been pretty passive in previous hands, so stop it and raise when you've hit your hand to get out drawshand 6: Fine. I'm assumin on the river either both are allin or you bet, at least I hope you bet that as it would be for valuehand 7: fine. good call PF. Your in early position with an off suit hand. I like your raise on the flop after hitting top pair, and then a good turn bet when the board paired. If you had been raised then you just want to call as this pot is a big boy. River is fine too. You took down a nice pothand 8: looks good to me. No one raised you so you have to assume that you have the best hand. Maybe check the river. To me its either 50/50 there, but I would lean towards checking as for the most part only hands that can beat you would call.be sure to post more hands when you get the chance

AQ looked good.Raise AJ preflop.Fold K7s preflop. Fold when you get bet into with a weak pair of kings.Don't check raise the river with 32o.Maybe C/r the flop. But not the river.ATS with a pair of aces you should raise on the flop.What happened on the river with AA???Everything else looked good.EDIT: bet the turn with AQ.

hand 1: PF and Flop are fine, but why run and hide when the A hits. Very weak-tight. Bet it out and if you get raised, fold because its a small pot. same applies to the river herehand 2: finehand 3: I'm gonna say this extremely loud and commit it to memory, DON'T CALL PF RAISES WITH KQo. You will be dominated more often than not. Don't be afraid to raise with it PF, but don't call raises with it. Flop, way too aggressive, fold to the CR. turn, why check, bet it again. River, why just call here. Either fold or raise, but then again you shouldn't have been in the hand in the first placehand 4: marginal call,. but okay. I say threebet this flop, you want to get a free card here. Its either that or fold. Turn-call, the pot is big so you want an overcall by utg to maximize your odds. River is okay, I don't think a weak King like yours is gonna win that much here, but you only have to be right 1 out of every 11 times.

KDawg I think gave the right advice on this second round of hands, but here are a few additions.Hand 1: I don't mind your check on the turn. I think you should fold to the bet. If he checks behind you, bet the river. But in a pot this small, I think you should fold to the A on the turn. Your opponent was an early position limper, so it's easy to put him on a better queen or an A.Hand 2: perfect duh (you don't gotta post the ones you obviously play correct) :-) Hand 3PF: I will disagree with KDawg here and say your smooth call PF is fine. You are in good position here, and there's nothin wrong with calling one raise with QKo on the button. KDawg has been smoking something. In early to middle position raise with this and fold to a three bet. On the button raise with it or call one raise.Flop: Your bet is fine. Calling the three bet is fine. SB would cap with a set, and MP1 would have raised preflop (he just limped) with 10-10 or Q-Q. Your bet and your call is fine in a pot this big.Turn: You HAVE to bet this turn, I don't know what you are doin giving the flush draw a free card here with this many players. Bet this for value every single time.River: Looks like MP2 just woke up with a set of 7s or a flush. You have to call in this sized pot, but you are beat it looks like.

Calling two cold with KQo is a leak IMO. if you limp and are raised then you can call one bet. But your hand is too often dominated by the range of hands for a raiser, especially one who raises in late position with several limpers already in the pot. AA, KK, QQ, AK, and AQ have you dominated and AJ and A10 are favorites to you. If KQ is suited then calling two cold with this many callers is in reason. I also don't like calling two cold with AJo or A10o. Sue me, but it has saved me a lot of money by generally sticking to this thought process

[wrto4556]

IMO?Folding KQo to a raise being right isn't an opinion.
