    Default Sanity Check - 4 hands for critique 25NL

    Hi All,

    I just need some feedback on a few hands, after a really bad run recently im wondering if its my play thats costing me money rather than anything else.


    Hand 1
    Villan here was about 16/8 over 200 hands or so. Can the re-re-raise only be one thing? Can i lay this down or am i going all the way here?

    Hand 2
    Villan here was pretty Lagg 34/21 over about 700 hands. Can you make this call on the river here? Would you just have called each street like this? or maybe take a different approach?

    Hand 3
    What do you think of this play? Is this standard? Villan here was 17/10 over 200 hands.
    No real reads, could have been just CBing here on the flop, but the strong turn bet to me meant he had something, was the all in the right move here? How would you have played it?

    Hand 4
    Villan was a tightie here 15/4. I hated the multiway pot here hitting the flop but bet out because of the low flop. How do you play the raise?

    1. You need a very strong read not to push here, you don't need to make these folds to beat 25nl lol, so don't worry about it.

    2. I probably raise the flop to about $4, esp after UTG calls. I don't mind playing for stacks here if the SB is a bad lag. rest is fine i guess.

    3. I usually just 4 bet this pre. If not, I check raise his short stack all in on the flop. Looks like a case of FPS here

    4. Bet more on the flop and then push over his raise. The pot is so bloated its impossible to get away here without some sick read on the guy imo.
