    And from another session:

    Flop: ($4) 3, 3, K (2 players)
    Hero bets $2.5, BB raises to $5, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $11.50







    7) Again, too passive? I feel like I'm often not maximizing value on my monsters

    UTG calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, 3 folds, Button calls $0.50, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

    quit checking your flopped sets
  3. #3
    Hand #1 - I'd re-raise pre-flop here. You are out of position and it'd be better to take the pot down now I think. As played the fold is fine. How often do you lead into a pfr in this situation? I try to do it enough times to balance out the times I do hit something.

    Hand #2 - I lead that flop cuz I'll hate myself if I lose due to allowing draws to complete for free. Of course raise river when you are not mentally handicapped next time.

    Hand #3 - Looks good. I'd be inclined to get it AI pre-flop.

    Hand #4 - Ya these are always tough. Have you seen villain pull anything like this before w/o a hand? W/o a read I probably lead the turn and see what happens.

    Hand #5 - That flop just scares the crap out of me. I'd fold to the flop raise.

    Hand #6 - I think this is fine. Sometimes I might go for a c/r here.

    Hand #7 - BET YOUR HAND ON THE FLOP! Players are bad enough to call down with a draw and you want them to do that every time. If someone actually has a hand there's a good chance they will raise you thus extracting more value.

    Hand #8 - I bet the turn here, but I like your line too. Is villain the type to just call w/ top pair? The call on river is fine.
