Was there anyway I could have played the jacks differently and maybe repped something stronger given the action? Players were standard.



This hand I overplayed a bit but overall was the check raise the right play on the flop?




This hand was obviously a bit much but I bet thinking he could have had busted hearts as well and would fold even some medium strength hands given my line. Player was pretty tight.



Thanks!

In hand no 3 I would raise 5BB pre to isolate OOP limper post-flop if he calls or win the pot right now.

I think folding hand 1 and hand 2 are fine, just ran into a donkey on hand 1 but it happens everyday. Hand 3 I like a check on the turn and don't really care for the river bet even though that's the only way you can win the pot. I'm a little surprised that the villian in hand 3 didn't 4bet and just called on the flop. I'm guessing UTG+1 might have had something to do with that but not sure why. If I have bottom two with a flush draw on the board then I'm going to make you pay to get there.

Hand one is interesting because I think all options are pretty close as long as we check back river. Flop cb would be fine as the board smacks our range but we also have little outs to improve so I slightly lean check. As played it's played right. However, if we do cb flop then we have the option of firing a second barrel. I think a lot of V range that flats flop will give up to a second barrel, and I really like firing it because it polarizes V range to his top and draws. Therefore, we actually increase the pot with the best hand a good amount of the time. We could check down as well, which I don't mind. Just always check back river as V will bluff catch pretty wide when all draws miss and we beat V missed draws.

Hand 1: You bluff line isn’t believable here at all. Yes, K2s should have folded in the SB to your preflop raise oop but putting that aside, he should be snap calling you on the river here. You want him to believe you raised pre and then checked back Kx or AA on a 2 heart KQ flop? You’d never check any of your value hands there 3-ways. He could have led the turn with his K with two flush draws out there after he checked flop, too, but at that point if he doesn’t then he’s in check/call mode for sure otherwise and it’s not really a bluff-catcher anymore since he should feel he has the best hand based on your line. The river card was bad for your bluffs as well because all draws missed and his kicker may not be relevant anymore so he’s calling you here all day long. If you want to take a bluff line you need to build a better story.

Hand 2: when you’re raising the flop with the intention to jam a blank turn, you need to be aware of the size of the pot and what it will be if someone calls. Your turn jam is like 35% pot which means your opponent is getting odds to call just about his entire flop continuing range. That he somehow folded here was very fortunate for you but this play isn’t going to work very often. I also don’t know how much we should be bluffing A-high boards 4-ways because players at these levels don’t like to fold their aces and you don’t have enough chips

Hand 3: Again, you have to be careful with what story you’re telling here. AQ, KQ and QJ are almost never hands you have here based on preflop action. So what hands are you repping on the flop? Just draws or low sets which your opponent blocks both of. You don’t have many value hands on the river ahead of your opponent’s 2P so while your actions and bet sizes were ok here, your represented value hands were very limited.

Regarding H3, keep in mind that when you have a flush draw, that limits the chances your opponent also has a flush draw.

Hand 1 flat pre, it's super deep and I don't think we need a raising range here. I don't get why you bet the turn esp since you have Jd unless you plan to bluff A or a diamond river which could be ok.

Hand 2 is really bad. You can't have AAA/QQQ/AQs etc so I dunno what you're repping, in fact you're closing the action even so just take your equity.

Hand 3 you can just iso to like 3.5 blinds or even 3x. I'd like the c/r more if it wasn't so many people in it and if say the 5h was the 8h instead where you also have a gutter or can turn equity to double barrel into.

Hand 1 if I don’t 3 bet I’m essentially set mining no? Wouldn’t I want to get the hand heads up with just 1 player and try to win it that way? I bet the turn thinking they would give up mostly anything not of value and I could end the hand there, but I’m probably better off betting the flop then the turn.

Yeah still don’t know what I was doing in hand 2 just got lucky that the player I did raise against was playing worse than I was, but all in all a call is probably the better move considering I am closing the action.

Hand 3 I think the player deduced was the fact that in order for me to have a hand it’s going to have to be a really strong hand given the board run out and my line. Why I didn’t raise pre is beyond me.

You shouldn't bet the flop when you raise to 900 and get two callers. No you're not set mining tho cause you'll still peel flops we have an overpair or some one overcard flops.

You have like no value hands in h3 except 555/444/54s and there aren't many combos. You also block like everything you want to fold when you're bluffing (JT/hearts etc).
