Hand 1 (5A-A):
Tough spot. Seat 8 calling everything is just odd. A read on him would be helpful. I prefer to C/C 6th instead of folding since you can at least see the river card for a single bet.

Hand 2 (77-3):
I would definitely check 4th and probably call a single bet. Both your opponents caught good and two 5s, a 4 and a 7 are dead. I actually wonder if it's close to a fold but I wouldn't be able to help peeling one here.

Hand 3 (J5-4):
One of those hands where your board makes you bet in order to get others to fold. 6th might be a check but if it's the same Seat 8 as in Hand 1 you may as well keep betting. And add him to your buddylist.

Hand 4 (Q7-Q):
Looks ok but I'm not at all sure. I'm uncomfortable playing big pairs but you can't not raise 3rd here.

[bigredlemon]

Hand 1: I like a c/c on 6th as well. Seat 8 will almost never raise so it's 1 bet to see the river. You're only worried about seat 5 having 3-4 in the hole. You must likely are going to pay 2 BBs to get 5-6, so you only need to be good 1 in 3. I think you are good more often than that. C/c a river bet from seat 5 and fold to everything else.

Hand 2 looks fine. Your hand could be best now, and if not, looks dangerous on many levels (possible straight, flush, low.) Betting 4th will set up and steal on 5th as well as get value from weaker hands.

Hand 3 I'd play the same as well. I'd cant imagine what he could be calling with. Write a note to self that he's loose regardless of what he has. I'd certainly bet 6th expecting him to call because he's probably on a draw. Nothing else makes sense.

Hand 4 is a bit weird. I get suspicious any time a 9 limps in early position, and alarms ring if a raise ever comes from him. I think aces/trips are very likely, although he could just be really bad and thinks his (78)98 is good. I'd play it the same although I'd occasionally raise 4th as well.

[Beavis68]

I would say he had 989 on hand 4.

[Andy B]

One hand per thread is usually best, unless one hand sets up another or something like that. With several hands in one post, there is potential for confusion as to which hand people are talking about.

Hand 1: I'm with you through fifth, and I might have checked sixth as well. I think the pot is too big and your opponents' boards too disjointed to fold for one bet here. I'd probably call this down unless maybe there was a raise on the river.

Hand 2: With one of your Sevens gone, I would not bet fourth street. Good fold on fifth.

Hand 3: I'm fine with it, although I would check the river. Checking on fourth would have been perfectly acceptable as well.

Hand 4: Nothing really makes sense for the other guy. Well, 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] down would make some sense, but you have the 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. With rolled-up trips, he could either raise third or wait until fifth to raise. Maybe he has two pair or a draw. Against the former, you're drawing live, and against the latter, you're winning. I think you have to call here.

[SweetLuckyMe]

First hand, bet 6th and check/call river unimproved, if you improve to aces up bet there too unless action is brisk before it get to you, then just call. You can't go limp or fold the aces the way that hand went down.

2nd hand, tough spot. Your 7's are good until op catches case 7 - then he's got a 4low and pr of 7's. You've got to play good poker in that spot. I'd have rather seen you do something to get rid of one of the opponents on 4th st. Seat 2 check-raised - it would have been better for you to check flop and hope the next guy checked and that Seat 2 bet, you could then raise and cause third guy to likely fold. Anyhow, after he catches open 7's you've got to play poker good - as the size of the pot doesn't make a fold automatic on your part.

The next hand (J54) you played great. It almost played itself via. the cards that you caught.

The last hand is interesting. It looks like you played it properly. He could have 999 or AA9. He's an idiot for limping with either one, but it's correct for you to fold the naked queens there.
