thanks!

River play only, really..unless something stands out.

What else would he do?

Hand 1:

River card blows. Still, your opponents could have a wide range of hands here from ace to 87 to a flush draw to trip sixes. I think you have a value bet here. Especially if these opponents are prone to calling with ace high on the river.

Hand 2:

Wow. Sixes again. Opponents never make trip 6's. Value bet.

Hand 3:

This is closer. If a river raise means you're beat, go ahead and bet/fold. If not, I think a check/call is in order.

yeah, i'd bet each one.

aseem

seriously, I'm ashamed to say, all of these are checks for me in the not to distant past.

If nothing else, 6 Max had taught me to keep betting 'cause they like calling.

yeah, you better be ashamed.

just kidding.

it's good that you found a leak.

hey, earlier today i value bet 44 on a board of 2 3 9 6 9 against two opponents. my hand was so good bay-bee.

i also remember one particular opponent over the summer against whom i repeatedly value bet ace-high (AQ unimproved, for example), and it was the best hand each time.

good times.

aseem

that's why I call (you) down with K6 on a K high board.

you think your J's are good.

I really think hand 1 is a questionable bet. I'm guessing its a bet/fold. At this level I suppose 2x and 78 are paying you off but aren't you going to run into 9 better kicker pretty often here?

hand 2 and 3 I like the bets as long as hand 2 is a bet/call and hand 3 is a bet/fold.

Hand 1: I can't find a bet here against 2 opponents with that weak a kicker. Check and call 1 back.

Hand 2: bet always

Hand 3: I prefer check/call. You'll get more value from desperation bluffs than callers

Hand 1: 78 calls. SB, I think (good job Pokerplayer and Screech, again).
I was bet/folding here. The villans were straight forward/passive

Hand 2: 77 calls. Makes sense. This is the typical hand I would always check behind on. I tend to limit my opponents holdings way too much
I was calling a raise here (not happily though)


Hand 3: KT calls
This was read dependent. With no flop bet/raise I did not put him on an Ace. I could see c/c being better. In Full Ring for sure. Here a raise would be a bluff enough times to make calling profitable. But checking also induces plenty of bets. Given the propensity to call with any hand, I gave him a chance to. He was not particularly laggy.
