Post stack sizes. Don't post results.

1. This is not a hand you want to play multiway, unless you happen to flop big. Raise or fold preflop (I would fold). Don't minraise the flop (or pretty much ever). What do you think button has that is check-calling a reraise on the flop and then leading a turn? (Answer: you beat [probably])

2. Why are you betting the turn?

3. I'm having a hard time not being results-oriented on this one, since your play obviously worked. I'm not interested in stacking off here with 6 outs. Without a read, I'm turbomucking this.

4. Fold preflop, especially with the limpers. If you're going to raise, make it 4BB+1BB/limper, please.

5. I'm seeing a pattern here. 4BB+1BB/limper preflop.

6. Stack sizes would be helpful. Call this for set value if stacks are deep enough and villian is likely stack off when you hit.

7. This is a good fold after the RR.

hand 1
I fold this pf. I would also be inclined to just call the flop since there are no potential draws and he's betting into you.
Hand 2
I would check this river and hope a busted fd tries to bluff. I think a river bet only gets called by a hand that beats us.
Hand 3
without any specific read, I would have just let this go. but nh
Hand 4
I think if you're going to raise here, you need to make it .5 3xbb +1bb for each limper. I think this is a great flop for a C-bet even against 2.
Hand 5
raise more pf again. I think your C-bet should be larger here as well. Closer to 3/4-full size pot bet.
Hand 6
if stack sizes were appropriate i would call this.
Hand 7
would raise a little more pf and then decision to call would be based again on stack size. But would probably lean towards folding as i would not like having tp in this spot facing any pressure.

...and don't post multiple random hands like this in one thread. These posts usually generate little strategy discussion and that is what we are about here. Post one hand per thread next time (and only a couple threads per day plz). tx.
