Three bad folds

[Sushiglutton]

Succeded to fold three hands that ended up to be best in just half an hour. Think I need some help here. Guess I play too weak-tight.

Hand 1, I'd fold PF, but if youre gonna play it, raise it. I'd call the flop since you have just about good odds to draw to the gutshot. Another heart on the turn is ok, i call 1 bet on the turn and fold the river unless I hit my flush, or a non-heart T.

Hand 2, bet the flop with top pair.

Hand 3, I'd bet the flop as a continuation of my PF raise, they can't know you don't have a K. I'd lead the turn if I didn't get raised, and probably check-call the river if noone is being aggressive.

Hand #1. You're getting 12.75:1 and closing the action. It's a much easier call than the first one (8.75:1 with someone left behind you to act). Leaving aside the question of whether you should call or not (you should), it doesn't make much sense to call the first bet and not the second...unless you have a read on what the Button's raise means that's better than 93% accurate (which you don't).

Hand #2. Easy fold, and I play it that way myself. You didn't check to check raise a late position bettor. You checked to better evaluate your hand strength based on the flop action. Some times that will lead you to check-raise a late position bettor. Some times it'll convince you that you're beaten. This is one of those times.

You have a marginal made hand that could easily already be second best. If you're behind, you likely have only 2 outs (the non-club 4s). If you're ahead, you are very easily outdrawn. Your best case is probably to split to pot with some other king. There is still the flop bettor left to act behind you, exposing you to a potential 3-bet or cap. Even though you're getting 9:1 pot odds, this is an easy fold.

Hand #3. By your estimation, you have about 4 outs on the flop. You're getting 11.5:1 odds, and you close the action. Good call.

With the J hitting, you probably still have about 4 outs. You're getting 8.25:1 odds this isn't quite enough to call, although if you hit you might pick up and extra bet on the river, and there's a chance you're actually in the lead now. This looks like a close decision between calling and folding.

Ok tnx for your views.

Hand #1: button had J8 and BB QJ.
Hand #2: Utg AdTd, MP3 two clubs but CO won the pot with QQ. Hand #3: MP2 had 99 and BB Jh9h.

Think it´s right that a continuation bet solves my problems in Hand #3. But I can´t bet the flop in Hand #2? Doesn´t protect it.
