    Default 50NL - 5 Hands, decisions on the turn

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hand 1: I have only recently sat down at the table.

    CO ($117.25)
    Button ($19.25)
    SB ($25.60)
    Hero ($50)
    UTG ($26.10)
    MP ($49.05)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T, T.
    2 folds, CO raises to $2, Button calls $2, SB calls $1.75, Hero calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($8) 6, 3, 9 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $0.5, Button calls $0.50, SB calls $0.50, Hero raises to $7, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls $6.50.

    Turn: ($23) 4 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $10,

    I call pre-flop cuz I'm OOP and the pot is already getting big, mostly playing for set value. All unders sweet, I check to the pre-flop raiser. The min-bet looks like missed overs instead of a big PP. On Turn I don't mind a call/push so I bet a little less than his stack

    Hand 2: Same villain, different table, much later. Now know he's 24/7, all previous interaction had been him calling my raise OOP and folding to my bet. Seems decent.

    UTG ($25.90)
    MP ($52.15)
    Button ($57.55)
    SB ($11.50)
    Hero ($55.45)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, T.
    1 fold, MP raises to $2, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($4.25) 6, 8, Q (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP bets $3, Hero raises to $9, MP calls $6.

    Turn: ($22.25) 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $15, ...

    pre-flop I don't usually make this call, flop I figured he either had Qx or was c-betting. Turn, I have to c-bet?

    Hand 3: My first hand at table

    MP ($126.55)
    Button ($79.30)
    SB ($27.85)
    Hero ($50)
    UTG ($60.45)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 2, 2.
    UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, Button raises to $2, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.50, UTG calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($6.25) 2, 9, A (3 players)
    Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4, Button folds.

    Turn: ($14.25) 4 (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $4, Hero raises to $12, UTG raises to $20, Hero raises to $44, ...

    Ugh to the min-raise on the turn. But, never fold bottom set...

    Hand 4: Villain had been at my table for awhile, 18/6, no interactions of note

    CO ($100.45)
    Button ($47.90)
    SB ($22.35)
    BB ($370.90)
    Hero ($57)
    MP ($49.50)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, A.
    Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, CO calls $2, 3 folds.

    Flop: ($4.75) 9, 9, 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $3, CO calls $3.

    Turn: ($10.75) 2 (2 players)
    Hero checks, CO checks.

    River: ($10.75) 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $7, ...

    Flop bet is smaller than normal because I was thinking WA/WB. I can't put him on a 9 but he seems to somewhat value his hand. So, value bet river? A raise would make me throw up in my mouth

    Hand 5: No reads on this guy

    MP ($85.75)
    CO ($51.80)
    Button ($63.55)
    SB ($25.45)
    Hero ($50)
    UTG ($43.80)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, Q.
    3 folds, Button raises to $1.5, SB calls $1.25, Hero calls $1.

    Flop: ($4.50) Q, J, T (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, Button bets $2, SB folds, Hero raises to $7, Button calls $5.

    Turn: ($18.50) 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets $10, Button raises to $25.5, Hero ...

    I'm lost here

    why all the flop check raises?? 3 out of 5 hands had a CR on the flop.

    hand 4, against someone that is 18/6, i would not be too afraid of him having a 9, and would probably be willing to put my stack on it, if he would let me. with the flop call he probably has a PP and doesnt think you hit the flop. given that, I think you can continue on the turn, he might think you are playing A high with the 2 pr on board.

    I didn't notice that. I usually check to the pre-flop raiser. Hand 3 is totally a donk bet so it could easily have been 4 of 5.

    So I guess this thread could be titled "Turn decisions after calling OOP pre-flop and catching a piece of the flop"

    Hand 4 - Yes, you are WA/WB, but the time to go passive is when worse hands will not put any more money in. Keep betting the turn and try to get more money out of TT-KK.
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    1. Fine, I'd just shove the turn

    2. fold preflop, check/raise more on the flop, check-fold or check-raise again unless he gives you good odds to just chase.

    3. fine

    4. played fine, i think you should pot river though as it looks as much or more like ace-high, still folding to a raise though

    5. fold preflop, fold to turn raise
    5.

    5.
