I have a few hands I want to discuss, but tought it would be best to create only one topic.

Hand 1(The one from the title):

I think I may have overvalued my hand, given the texture of the board; at that time I figured he had a flush draw he could be playing aggr or some kind of king(KJ or KT maybe).
I really don't know how much value this hand has with this board, two opponents and aggression.


Hand 2:

This second one is the opposite of the first hand. It felt underplayed. I have 9outs to the flush, 4 for the straight and 3 outs to the ace. Is it worth the bet on the turn? Or perhaps a reraise on the flop would be the best play.

Hand 3:

This one I think I played right. Posted just for variety.

The turn fold in hand 1 is iffy.. You have 8 cards (4 Aces, 2 Kings, 2 Queens) that improve your hand, and even discounting them, you can probably assume 4 outs to a win or tie, possible as many as 6. You're getting better than 11:1 to close the action and see if the river improves you. I don't mind the flop cap vs. 2 opponents because it gives you information if one of them bets into you on the turn for half a big bet.

Hand 2, 3-bet the flop without a second thought. I'm inclined to bet/call the turn, and c/f the river ui. Dunno what happened to MP2 here. Donk obviously.

Hand 3 I'm fine with. It's read dependent and very similar to another hand posted a day or so ago here. If nothing else, I want to see what SB c/r this flop with. I'd think he'd wait to c/r a 2 on the turn.

Please, create a separate topic for each hand. It makes them easier to analyze and reply to. I had to scroll up and down to analyze each hand as I replied, which is annoying.

think less.

i call the turn in hand 1, but i think the river's a pretty easy fold.
zach and actuary dont like folding when were almost always beat in big pots, though.

i hate reading several hands in a row, then i cant remember what i wanted to say about any of them.
it's better if they're split up into separate posts

the last two hands are fine.

Still make plenty mistakes not counting outs well, but glad to know I played that flop right.



A simple "don't do it" would have been enough, but "think less" is far more aggressive. Well played.
