    Default 3 hands...need help to fix leaks!

    Today I found out how to make the cards and everything easier to read for party poker (thanks to zook in http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...oker-36567.htm), and decided to experiment with 7-tabling. It wasn't a huge jump, since I had been doing ok 4-tabling, but think I overplayed sometimes, and might have made overly-weak folds other times. Please help me fix these leaks!!!

    villain is 53/7/.5 over 26 hands, but more importantly his betting made me very certain he has Kx. What do you think of this read and my line?

    Villain was 16/3/1.3 over about 200 hands. I highly doubted he had Ax where x<Q, but maybe AJ since I was on the button and I do blind steal kinda often. Is this a set too much of the time to even call the turn min check/raise? I should have called the river for those odds since I did call the turn, right?

    Had no reads. I know I shoulda reraised a bit more pf. Also, if it means anything, villain took a long time before betting the flop. What's your play post flop like facing this sort of bet to start on this flop?

    I would have checked the river. He called you down with no draws. A set or 45 or so is likely.

    #2
    He minraised you at the turn so I think you are beat. I would have folded there.

    #3
    You have position on him. I call and wait for the turn. To early to give up on his small bet. A raise is too risky.

    1. Pretty standard, but don't be surprised if he has a four given his stats. The fact that he checks a blank river would make a very good case for him not having a four. I think its pretty weak to check behind when he has showed such weakness.

    4. Thats how I play it.

    4. I make it 9 to go preflop and fold to the flop lead. He obviously doesn't give a crap about that ace. He either has an ace himself, or he has 999, or MAYBE he has a flush draw. This is what makes the semi-bluff play so powerful. He MIGHT have the flush draw which you are fairly ahead of, but he MIGHT also have top pair or a set, which you are drawing very slim to, so against his range you would be behind.

    hand1 pretty standard overplay. Nice
    hand 2. I thinks that information rather than beat but thats me. Really think he can put you on big slick here?
    Id call both streets and laugh if he show me anything but a set. Then pwn him on his next blind defence when i have such a strong hand by playing a big pot. If he has AJ here i likey likey!
