I know its normally one post per topic but these are likely to be quick since there are no reads and I dont want to clog up the forum.

Getting back into poker for the year, Jan sucks and am down 10 buyins so these may be simple.

Scary flop but likely hands are draws. Worth a Cbet? I doubt it now. Also - his range can easily be a good A on the river.

Raise flop seemed the thing to do. But why? what worse hands call/better hands fold. How is a call. I think the real value in this hand is stacking 8s when I hit. How would you play A8 here?

Thought about pushing flop - is that the better option or the easy option? Giving that I called, what is my plan on turn. What could his range be here?

Nice flop! If the guy raises is a push good? What should I do on the turn? Obvious bet right but how do I respnd to a raise. I have outs but am definately behind so basic pot odds depending on size right?
