    Default Some hands from 25NL that need evaluation

    Please let me know if I played these hands ok. These all came in a span of 30 minutes and felt I was being pushed around a little.

    Hand 1) Villian was running 11/11/2. His bet sizing was perfect on this hand I thought and played me like a fiddle.

    Hero ($26.15)
    Button ($4.65)
    SB ($5.60)
    BB ($15.80)
    UTG ($25)
    UTG+1 ($24.55)
    MP1 ($4.30)
    MP2 ($5.15)
    MP3 ($17.35)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A.
    1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.75, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.75, 1 fold, Hero raises to $3, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $2.25, MP2 folds.

    Flop: ($7.10) 9, K, J (2 players)

    UTG+1 bets $8, Hero calls $8.

    River: ($31.10) A (2 players)
    UTG+1 bets $9.55 (All-In), Hero calls $9.55.

    Final Pot: $50.20
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hand 2) Villian was running 16/7/2. Did I make the right read here and would you play it any differently?

    MP2 ($22.85)
    CO ($9.10)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, K.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $0.75, 3 folds, SB calls $0.65, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($1.75) 7, A, 4 (2 players)

    Final Pot: $19.25

    Hand 3) Villian was 13/13/2. Villian played this like a made set on the flop or maybe he had J10 hearts. Anyone raising the turn here?

    Hand 1 I would raise the flop and try get it in soon. A lot of draws are in his range and a lot of turn cards are bad for you.
    Hand 2 fold the turn.
    Hand 3 is an easy call. This line looks FOS and I would also call the turn to let him continue. Not many worse hands call a raise, but plenty bet the river.

    i agree with Deanglow. Your bets are also habitually small. Be a man

    Basically agree with dean
    1. Get it in ASAP, esp. with that turn.
    2. Fold turn, esp if you are folding most rivers
    3. Call as played but I bet flop more.

    I'll give it a shot:

    Hand 1 I'd probably raise the flop or turn, but either way, I'd probably get it in. Looks like a cooler though, what'd he show up with? AA/KK?

    Hand 2 fold or shove turn imo. Pretty sure if I call the turn, it'd be b/c I thought I was good & therefore I'd be calling the river.

    Hand 3 calling the turn is ok. Folding the river seems bad, I know I'd at least call.

    I agree with the other guys about hand 2 & 3.

    Hand one, this guy is running 11/11, what's his range for calling a 3bet and donking into us on this scary flop? What draws are in his range when we hold the Ah? Pretty obvious we're fucked by the river, i think he has 99 here alot but I don't know how I'd play it in the heat of the moment.

    Ya hand two looks like villain is showing a lot of strength. I hate that lead flop c/r turn line when its used against me! It works though because like you most people wont fold the turn. Smells like a set to me.

    sounds like we all agree that call flop, c/r turn is a line that beats any one pair hand almost every time?

    and, i think we all know that hand three was a blocking bet on turn for JT, which stupidly got there on river.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
