Some 25NL hands.

[Andhrímnir]

Hello.

This will be my first post here. Some background info on myself: Been playing for a little more than year,
been reading and learning alot from this forum this past year and also reading som poker books, mostly sklansky.
I recently moved up to 25NL from being a pretty solid winner at 10NL. I find the games to be beatable but somewhat tougher,
and I also find myself struggling at the moment, specially when it comes to timing my aggression.
So I'll be looking to improve my game by posting some hands and maybe get some pointers.

Hand 1

My stats are 12/9.5/4, got no stats/reads on villain as I just joined the table.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed)

UTG ($29.50)
UTG+1 ($38.30)
MP1 ($24.65)
Hero ($24.30)
MP3 ($26.05)
CO ($24.40)
Button ($32.30)
SB ($11.80)
BB ($25)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 4s, 4h.
3 folds, Hero raises to $1, 4 folds, BB calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.10) Ah, 6h, 5c (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1.75, BB calls $1.75.

Turn: ($5.60) Ts (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($5.60) 4c (2 players)
BB bets $3, Hero raises to $9.5, BB raises to $22.25, Hero ???.

Should I have fired the turn maybe something like 2/3 pot?. As there are some draws out there.
How about the the river, is this really an insta-call?. It had me a bit worried as it completes some straights

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 2

CO is 10/2.5/- and BB 33/10/- over small sample ~50 hands.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed)

Button ($19.80)
SB ($9.80)
BB ($8.80)
UTG ($29.95)
UTG+1 ($40.30)
Hero ($26)
MP2 ($26.60)
CO ($10.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Ac, Ks.
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.5, Hero raises to $2.25, 1 fold, CO raises to $5, 2 folds, BB calls $4.75, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls $2.75.

Flop: ($15.60) 9h, 5d, 8h (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $2.5, BB calls $2.50, Hero calls $2.50.

Turn: ($23.10) 3s (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $3 (All-In), BB calls $1.30 (All-In), Hero calls $3.

River: ($27) Jc (3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $30.40

Should I have just put the shorties ai pf? How about the rest of the streets?
With me getting these odds I should obv be calling but am I drawing dead here or racing? BB calling all the way wasn't really what i wanted.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 3

Villain is 51/0/1.3/44 so i guess he could have about an two here.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed)

UTG ($11.40)
MP1 ($32.45)
MP2 ($60.10)
CO ($23.70)
Button ($5.60)
Hero ($25.75)
BB ($15)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8s, As.
1 fold, MP1 calls $0.25, 3 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.75) 7s, 6s, Kd (3 players)
Hero bets $0.75, BB folds, MP1 calls $0.75.

Turn: ($2.25) 2h (2 players)
Hero bets $1.5, MP1 calls $1.50.

River: ($5.25) 9h (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $1.25, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $5.25


Is this a good spot to 3-barell as the turn and river were blanks or should I just c/f regarding the fact that the villain is so loose.
As played can i call with my A8 high here getting these odds?

So what do you think FTR, all comments are welcome.

#1
No reason to bet turn. If he calls this flop he wont give up on turn. Tho 67 just got there on river I cant see us folding , he´s taking a lot of 2pair too far here and our hand is very well disguised.

#2
You´re probably dead here. A tight shortie 4bets and BB cold calls. I go muck here

#3
I hate folding rivers getting 4:1. I´d call, tho it´s def slightly -ev. And dont 3barell stations, they will call. Valuebet, dont bluff them.

1. thank the poker river god and get your chips in there. his two pair no goot. if beats you with a straight, nh.

2.i'd like to think i'd fold pre-flop. you've been re-raised(though by a shorty) and its all ready been called by another shorty.You're beat already or at best against another A-K and 10-10.
As played, fold on flop. as played call the turn.

3. looks good to me.... calling the end isn't horrible. at 25nl you see some strange hands. also for $1.25 you get to see what hes playing/calling with .

1- Played fine. Call the river and profit

2- I shove preflop as soon as UTG+1 folds there.

3- fine. looks like he has K crap
