i think that you played the hands fine. And ya i would probably raise that river on the last hand, it looks like he is trying to get a cheap showdown.

I think your raises are generally wimpy. In my limited experience with 50nl, I often have to bet about twice the pot preflop to weed out the drawing hands.

Example, when five people call the .50 blinds and I am on the big blind with a hand, I will typically raise it to about 4.00, and either take down the blinds right there (not a bad result with five callers), or trap some sucker with 8 bets that I will steal on the flop with a c bet or checkraise whether I have the goods or not.

C-bets and check-raises don't work where I play.

On the first hand, the more I look at it, I think he already has the flush and his river bet was either a value bet with the best hand or a block bet not knowing if his flush was any good.

your turn bet was weaker than your flop bet - do you think this player is capable of attacking weakness without the goods?

as played, yeah I call

hand 2

Unless he played his AA KK strangely preflop by raising then just calling your reraise and another caller, I reckon your are ahead here and he has a PP - the only other hand I would put him on is two high cards suited h's - with this being a possibility I think you should raise him here.


Hand 3

Hmm - It looks like he was on a draw all the way but to bet out on the river he must have something - I think your good here though, he needs a set or straight to be ahead - Raise it to 15 and hope he just hit the 9 for his two pair - Kd9d ?
