I didn't have a lot of history with this guy other than he was passive and called alot. I was putting him on a pp and his turn and river play didn't make alot of sense. I had the feeling he was playing back at me because I had been winning a lot of pots with big cbets.

In this hand I just couldn't figure out what to do to try and take this pot without having anything other than potential Make a move on the turn or ...? Villain is 30/20 and hasn't been out of line.

The sb had been just ridiculous calling 2 streets with nothing and hitting a pr on the river to win. Was playing 70/26 vpip. Two problems with this hand. Cbet flop oop and call the river as played. I just felt lost on how to attack or not because I was behind uggh.

hand 1- I think you can probably just fold to the minraise on the turn, but if you do call I'd fold the river

hand 2- Pretty decent flop to cbet and you've got a gutshot and backdoor nut flush draw. In situations like this just think about your options: you don't really wanna check/fold since you've got a decent hand and a board that should hit your range more than theirs, you don't really wanna check/call since then you give away the initiative and you could just win the pot outright by betting the flop or maybe 2brling the turn (a club for example), that leaves cbetting so do that . I guess you could also check/raise, but I don't think we really wanna build a huge pot with this hand.

hand 3- I'd fold the river

Hand 1: C-bet and check behind on turn for pot control, call a river bet or bet for value if checked to.

Hand 2: C-bet and double barrel turn, check call is worse then check / fold imo.

Hand 3: Terrible board to c-bet even against one op, river is ugly and with one op left to act I would probably fold. If I only had the SB to worry about it depends solely on previous rivers played. If he is a complete retard I'd probably call but I still think it's really close.

hand 1 - I think i cbet to 5 - 5.25. check turn and evaluate.
I fold to his min raise. His min raise shows strength.

hand 2 - cb flop

hand 3 - I think this is a pretty easy lay down. almost a snap fold imo.
I think sb checked straight on turn trying to get some action. if he was a thinking
player he probably realized if he bet everyone would probably fold. Anyway he bets river hoping you hit your ace and call his disguised (obvious imo) straight. He is betting this into 2 people on the river. that shows some strength!

Hand 1 I flat the min raise on the turn and see what he wants to do on the river. Then I fold to his river bet. I dont mind betting the turn, I think its quite close but the board is so dry I will expect him to call with weaker aces nearly all the time and there are no real draws for him to check-raise.

Hand 2 I think CBetting that flop into 2 opponents is close. If you are called you are OOP and have no plan for the turn and river. Board is also connected enough for you to be called by flush and straight draws as well as top pair or second pair so I dont think you are taking it down that often.

Hand 3 I dont Cbet these boards unless its HU and I have position and some read on opponents range.
River bet tell is huge here. imho donks only bet pot on the river when they have teh nutz.
