    hand 1: id look you up with any pair that hadnt been counterfited, your repin so little.

    hand 2: seems ok tho id be tempted to bet maybe 10 on turn.

    hand 3: fine/standard.

    hand 1: i didnt notice there's two pairs on the board until just now!! Yeah, we should not bet at all on the river on such a strong board vs two opponents.

    1 i dont like, you're gonna get looked up so light here after checking two streets.

    2 $12 on turn is better imo

    3 this is one of those spots where i feel like i take a different line to a lot of people but we have a weak hand and a weak draw and I just want to get to showdown cheap so I'm checking the flop. also if you do decide to bet i think you need to bet much stronger on this supercoordinated board, I think you should be potting your entire betting range there.

    Hand 1: Meh on the river bet. It will work often enought not to be total spew.
    Hand 2: Bet more on the turn, $8 just isn't very convincing.
    Hand 3: Against some guys I call the turn. I might even raise.

    Hand 1 is so obvious that I'm calling with anything better than the board

    A better move is to bet the flop or the turn.

    Hand 1, I think you see now that most any pair better than 4 is gonna call. I'd call with A high.

    Hand 2, I probably give up on the turn and just check behind and see the river. But if I bet the turn I bet like $11 and if I did bet the turn I probably bet the river too.

    Hand 3, yup, his bet screams please call...
