1st hand:

lp £250 relatively loose post-flop, limped in quite a bit, but didnt play trash. Seemed more interested in playing a game on his phone than poker, hadnt seen him get to many showdowns, but the dealers knew him by name so i presume he's a regular.
Hero mp £500

folds to hero who raises to 12, 5 callers.

Flop Ah 7c 7d Pot 60

checks round

I decide to check for pot control as there is a decent chance someone has a 7 also it will be tough for players behind to me on the flop to catch me up unless they hit a 2 or 3 outer.

Turn 4d Pot 60

checks to hero who bets 40, mp calls everyone else folds.

River 7h Pot 140

Hero checks, mp bets 100, hero???

So i know it is possible he has the 7 and if he has the A we are chopping it, but is he bluffing a missed draw here enough for me to call, my line is pretty weak so he could even think i dont have the A and try to take me off it?

2nd hand:

Hero has AcAs

utg £60 not been at table much, seems ok despite buying in for minimum, i put a beat on him about 15 mins ago with 77 vs JJ all-in on turn on QJ7x board 7 on river.
sb £400 seems decent player, has shown ability to lay down good hands, and also made big bluff against aggro player, definitely a thinking player, generally tight post-flop, but a bit loose pre-flop.
hero in mp £330 havent played many hands hit 2 sets (include the above bad beat) and lost a big hand 10 mins ago (hand 1) maybe played a bit passive post-flop in other peoples eyes.

utg limps, utg +1 limps, hero makes it 15, folds round to sb who calls, utg raises to 40, hero calls 25, sb calls 25.

So i decide to get risky here and just flat the limp/raise from the short stack hoping to make a nice side pot from sb.

Flop Jh 5h 4d Pot 122

sb checks, utg all-in for 20, hero raises to 80, sb goes all-in for 360, hero???

So sb took a while to go all-in, he is capable of bluffing here but it would have to be a semi-bluff with hearts. The fact that utg is all-in and said "well its pretty obvious what i have" hinting he has AA-QQ and i believe him, should influence sb as he knows he is behind at least to utg. If he has a set of fours or fives i am far behind if he has a flush draw im only 66% ahead, also its tough to put him on 2 big hearts AK may have re-raised pf, so AQ, AT, KQ, QT. But would he call with the likes of AT, QT???

Hand 3:

utg +1 £400 recently came to the table, usually plays higher, i recognised him from another casino i played at a few months ago, pretty sure he doesnt know me. good player, but likes to float/bluff/fancy play syndrome too much.

Hero utg £600 hero raises to 12 utg+1 calls, bb calls.

Flop Jc 4d 2h Pot 37

bb checks, hero bets 25, utg+1 calls, bb folds

Turn 9h Pot 87

hero checks, utg+1 bets 65, hero calls 65

My thinking was that utg+1 had at best a jack here but probably nothing and was planning on taking me off the hand and would most certainly put me on AK/AQ if i check, my plan was to c/c the turn and river.

River 3c Pot 217

hero checks, utg+1 bets 85, hero calls.

Hi, welcome to the forum. I suggest you read over the FAQs in the stickies at the top of the forum page. In it, you'll see the instructions of how to post a HH. The accepted convention is to post 1 HH per thread and no more than 2 HH per day. They also should be formatted in a standard 2+2 style for easy reading.

While that sounds nitty, the reality is that few people want to wade through 3 HHs and give anything approaching a decent response, especially if they are hard to read.

In the first and third hand, you don't give us your hand, so who knows what to do. Hard to get interested when you leave out that basic information.

In the second hand, you have AA and the villain l/rr. Keep raising and get your stack in. As played, you have an over pair and the SPR is under 4. Pretty basic stack off situation.

Somehow my brain didn't explode when I read 3 hands in 1 thread, but for some people I know that's tough.

Hand 1: As played you have to call unless you have some kind of tell. You never narrowed his range by betting so you can't ever fold thinking he has a 7. If you had bet 2 or 3 streets then you might be able to fold, but not when you bet one street.

Hand 2: It looks like you got the action you wanted. You underrepresented your hand and now you have to call. If he has jacks here that's unlucky, but like you said he is probably doing this with QQ-AA, then happily call.

Hand 3: You didn't say what you had, but it looks like you got pot controlly with a good jack or an overpair. He took a really weird line by donking two streets. Most of the time, this is some kind of jack so I'd call if you have the type of hand I'm guessing you had.

Obviously not for you. You can give advice without knowing what Hero's hole cards are. I'm certainly not that talented.

Maybe you just don't like to read lots of text because he's says he has an ace in Hand 1 "if he has the A we are chopping it" and in Hand 3 he says "my thinking was that utg+1 had at best a jack here" which implies that hero has at least a good jack or better if he is just calling him down. Maybe I'm wrong about Hand 3, we'll see what hero says he had.

Just read through the guy's post. He's looking for help. Let's not avoid him because he posted 3 HHs. You are right, it would be helpful if it was written a bit smoother and he told us his hands. I don't want to pick a fight with you, but let's focus on helping the guy out instead of complaining about 3 HHs in one thread.
