    Easy raise? R/F? What do I do if I call and a nonheart river comes up?

    hand 1: bet turn, call shove.
    hand 2: calls and reevaluate on the river.
    hand 3: raise or fold preflop.

    1) bet river, I probably dont call a push
    2)call and hope to boat up, call a non heart river most of the time, against most opponents
    3)nothing wrong with limping if the BB always lets u see a flop, OR he always calls your raises...as played fold river im weak like that

    I'm thinking b/f river in hand 1 but players at this level suck and will raise like A5 for value so it might be b/c. I think he has AQ or nuttin (nothing like KJ).

    getting my swell on
    hand 1: I would fire out again on the turn, then i guess c/c the river.

    hand 2: that seems like a pretty easy raise to me. Otherwise if another heart comes down then you know your beat. Plus, even if he did hit the flush you have tons of full house outs.

    hand 3: that seems like a fold to me. I might've tried to steal the blind pre flop, and if he calls and does this on the river it will be an easier fold.

    Hand 3 is a call, surely? We haver the second nuts and this guy didn't raise pre or even bet on any street so if he does happen to have the ace of spades then he's an extremely fortunate chap.

    Hand 1 - get some more money in, for heaven's sake! You don't have to call a push but you want to value bet this until you're sure you're beat.

    Hand 2, I raise to say $12 on the turn.

    Yea I focused my attention on river in hand 1...flop you gotta 3bet, and get it in. As played I would lead turn, if he calls then c/c river is weak but okay since turn and river card arent great.

    hand 1- raise flop, bet turn bet river
    hand 2- raise turn
    hand 3- fold river, overbets on rivers are usually the nuts
