1st hand... Curious play by the bad guy. Call/raise pre-flop, then check/raise post-flop. To me, he wass repping AA, KK, AK. If it was me, I woulda folded, too, but I defer to the more advanced players. What was your read on this guy?

2nd hand... Weak post-flop bet. Anybody with bottom pair is calling a 1/5 pot bet, or in this case, anybody with absolutely nothing. If you were willing to bet .60 over the turn and river with no pair or draw, why not bet that same amount on the flop to take it down right then and there?

3rd hand... I play TT like AA. Yeah you're UTG, but a raise is in order. What was your read on the bad guy? Facing 6xBB raise from middle position? I hate to do it, but I fold.

4th hand... You were on the button. Use your position to put pressure on all these limpers. 88 is vulnerable, but you need to see where you stand.

Anyway, my take.

Good luck.
