Hand 2:

No reads on opponenet. I feel this is fairly standard, but what do you guys think about the turn bet? I thought checking would be good for pot control, but it would induce a lot of bluffs with the flush completing and would give flush draws a free card.

hand 1: i think i check behind the river here and maybe call a 1/2 pot bet.

hand 2: i bet more on the turn, say $14, and check down if called.

hand 3: flop call is fine, and i think its fine calling the bets on turn and river given the small bets.
