Default three hands $20/$40, $2 ante

I feel like I want to post a dozen hands after every session. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I will try to restrain myself, but here are three hands:

HAND I:

I am dealt (Kh Th) 7h

Other cards out: 3d, 7d, Qs, 6c, 4h

A with the 3d, brings it in for $5. B with the 6c completes to $20, I re-raise to $40, A cold-calls, B calls.

Neophyte: (Kh Th) 7h 5h
A: (? ?) 3d Td
B: (? ?) 6c Js

A checks, I bet, A calls, B folds!

Neophyte: (Kh Th) 7h 5h 2s
A: (? ?) 3d Td Ad

A checks, I bet, A check-raises, I fold.

---

HAND II:

Five-handed 20/40 stud.

I am dealt (9h 9d) 5d

Other cards: 7s, 4c, As, Ks

4c brings-in for $5, As and Ks call, I call, 7c folds.

I hope to catch a 9, a 5 or a diammond.

----- 4th STREET -----

Neophyte: (9h 9d) 5d 4h
A: (? ?) 4c Js
B: (? ?) As 3h
C: (? ?) Ks 8c

B and C check! I bet, Only B calls.

----- 5th STREET -----

Neophyte: (9h 9d) 5d 4h Kd
B: (? ?) As 3h Qc

B checks, I bet, B raises, I call.

I guess this is why one should throw away small pairs on third street. However, I don’t believe he has a pair of Aces and the pot lays me close to 1:4.

----- 6th STREET -----

Neophyte: (9h 9d) 5d 4h Kd 3s
B: (? ?) As 3h Qc 6d

B bets, I call.

----- RIVER -----

Neophyte: (9h 9d) 5d 4h Kd 3s (5h)
B: (? ? ?) As 3h Qc 6d

B bets, I call.

----- SHOW DOWN -----

B shows (Qs Kc 5c) As 3h Qc 6d
Neophyte: (9h 9d) 5d Kd 3s (5h)

I collect $387.

---

HAND III:

I am dealt (Ad 7d) 4d

Other cards: As, 5c, Jh, Tc, 6c, 7s, Kh.

I bring-in for $5, As calls, 7s raises, I call and As call.

----- 4th STREET -----

Neophyte: (Ad 7d) 4d Kc
A: (? ?) As 7c
B: (? ?) 7s Th

A check, B bets, I fold, B folds.

$93 in the pot and $20 for me to call. My diamonds are live, but I only have three of them and an ace, a king and two sevens are out.

Three hands is to much for me. I'll do the first:

I think it's pretty likely he has a flush, so I'd check behind. In fact, you shouldn't be betting into that board in any case - it's not like you have to worry about giving a free card here (actually you wouldn't mind getting one) and as you saw getting check-raised sucks.

So I'd check behind and then probably fold 6th if bet into.

Posting them separately leads to MUCH better discussion.

Yes, I agree, it is clearly better to check behind.

Say you catch a heart lower than Ah on 6th. What if your opponent bets? What if he checks?
