4 $25NL Hands from today's session.

These hands may seem fine/dumb/ or just plain unlucky but the way I am running at the moment my confidence is so low I just don't know which it is.

Please let me know if you would have done anything differently or if the hands were fine.

Thanks in advance

Hand 1:

I had no reads in this hand as it was quite early on in the session and PT had no stats on this guy.

Hand 3:

This guy was tight, he was running 13/8.5/3.5 after 71 hands. He hadn't showed down any hands at this point. This, I think, (correction), I know I messed up but I want someone to just make it extra clear!

1. I might min-raise river for value, coz he can easily have AQ.
2. Fine. He could have TT to QQ
3. I like reraising preflop better. Postflop I don't think you can get away.
4. Raise PF! As played you have to call river and pay him off if he has you beat.

1. $6 turn bet, reraise river. Why didn't you reraise river?
2. Turn is a shut-down card. Straight or flush is completed and you are probably beat.
3. Fold Turn. What do you beat that bets that much? JJ, 1010. I think you are beat.
4. Fine

Thanks for the comments guys. Appreciated.
