25NL - Some Shovel Draws

[calmB4storm]

<font color="blue">Hand 1</font>

<font color="green">I put villain on a high ace. I don't really see him having a higher flush draw unless it's something like AK or AQ. So is there enough money in the pot to call?</font>

<font color="blue">Hand 2</font>

<font color="green">The CO was a huge donk, while the SB was pretty average.
Should I check on the turn to try to see a cheap river? Honestly though, at this point I may easily be ahead with my top pair, which is why I bet again.</font>

<font color="blue">Hand 3</font>

<font color="green">First of all, is the preflop 3-bet standard? I didn't have any solid reads on the SB yet, but I figured his range was pretty wide. Then my next question is, again, what should I do on the turn? Check behind to see if I hit on the river, or continue betting? I figured I had quite a bit of fold equity after he slowed down and checked.</font>

hand 1, just lay this thing down. hand two check the turn, your equity changes a ton once the non flush card comes.

hand 3 I probably check something like 50% of the time and double barrel another 50% of the time.

[Knuckles]

I would let hand 1 go. You need to call 19 to 32. There is a lot of money in the pot, but the question is what does the villain have that he is willing to check raise you with?

Hand 2 I would raise a bit more on the flop. Probably about 5 dollars in hopes of getting it all in on the flop. When you brick on the turn I would probably check it. Your not really concerned about giving a free card here. Against a single opponent I would probably bet it.

Hand 3 I bet more on the flop again. I am going to make a true pot size bet of 8 or so. You have a big and I would want to do anything I can to get it all-in on the flop. I am going to bet the turn here, but I am not sure that is the correct thing to do.

Hand 1

U have only FD, so the odds are wrong.
What are the stats of SB?
Anyway I fold it with no delay.

Hand 2

I agree with Knuckles.

After 2 callers on flop I check it on the turn to see a cheap river.

Hand 3

As played PF, I would bet more on flop (7-8$) and check turn. Your turn bet is bad, because he has only 17$, so it's shove or check. I'd like to check and see the river card

[ama0330]

Hand 1, fold preflop, and fold the flop.

Hand 2, dont bet the turn and fold the river if he bets.

Hand 3, fold preflop, don't raise the flop, check the turn, and zomg nice river.
