Hand 5

Thoughts on this hand? Is pre ok, or should I reraise? As played is it worth floating the flop, raising him, or just fold? On the turn I figured theres that much less chance he has a Q.

Hand 6

Fairly deep now, around 30 left I think, I'm one of the chip leaders. Call raise? Call push?

Hand 7

This hand got me all confused, I flop middle pair and the 2nd nut flush draw. Calling the min-bet seemed standard, but the turn overbet? Is that a T protecting against a draw, a better hand thinking he'll get value, or a bluff?

I think 1-5 are fine. The 77 I would just fold, you're probably coin flip at best against both of them, or at least one of them.

The last one, no idea. I would let it go before I build to big of a pot with not that big of a hand.

Hand 3 - as played definitely check turn. Other option is to check/raise flop.

Hand 4 - just call the river raise.

Hand 5 - the JJ one - reraise pre is fine 6 handed and considering the opp made a 4x raise. Your line looks fine tho too.

Hand 6 - call was fine given deep stacks. Fold after UTG calls.

Hand 7 - raise flop. As played - fold turn.

Thanks guys, I folded the 77 one thinking I no longer had odds to hit a set, Would have hit quads v's AQ and A2, so was probably somewhat results oriented but wanted to check a fold was good.

Good point on hand 7 Chardrian, I'm sometimes unsure how to play a hand like this (heaps of outs, but somewhat vulnerable).
