1: pretty weird hand but its fine
2: dumb, check
3: ok
4: bet more on the flop, turn is ok, c/f the turn, river sucks, spades and JT got there, river is a fold
5: fine given flop action
6: fine
7: fine
8: dont raise, easy call considering the overbet

[will641]

1) as bair said, strange, but fine. i would probably raise the river bigger though.

2) i would actually bet the flop when they both check.

3) standard

4) i would just give up on the turn. if the turn checks through bet like 2/3 pot on river.

5) this is fine, although i dont think folding pre is a terrible idea depending how tight MP is.

6) fine, but only because he posted.

7) its okay.

8) okely dokely.

9) i would fire the flop. we have 8 outs cleaner than a baby's ass, plus a runner runner spade draw. ugh this is kind of a gross spot, because calling seems weak, but when he reraises this i doubt its anything worse than a flush. i guess flat it and fold as played?

[will641]

overall though i think you are on the right track. and also i would recommend not posting maybe more than 3-4 hands at a time, because you wont get nearly as many responses like this.
