Hand1. villian is unknown my image is semilag. My reasoing was that too often he has a set or weird twopair here. Just push the turn and represent the overpair ?

Hand 2. I think the river bet is def +ev since a K suits perfectly my range. The question is should i fire the turn again against an unknown since he most likeley holds a midpair ? My reasoning was that my hand is too good to get raised out of the pot on the turn

Hand 3. Villian is tag. i played it safe but i wonder if bet or even check/ raise turn is better since it is really putting the pressure on him for all his chips.

1: std

2: i fire, you have alot of equity which makes up for lack of FE (dont like river, too bluffy)

3: flop raise sucks

[Traumfabrik]

in hand 3 u just call and check/fold the turn ? seems too weak to me

More comments pls

Hand 1: not a good spot for a 2barrel imo. Given his line so far, I doubt he's folding much of his range on this blank turn.

Hand 2: 2barrel here is probably good. I think you get a fold from a better hand often enough, and I doubt that you're going to get checkraised in this spot very often. You'll also be occasionally building a pot against a stubborn, worse flushdraw, or a good jack that's playing it wa/wb and will pay off a reasonable bet on the river.

As played, I think you'll get looked up by alot of hands when you bet the river.

Hand 3: I'm not really a fan of the flop check/minraise. I would just c/c and reevaluate on the turn.

to hand 3 i have so many time the best hand but absolutly no outs but a boatload of hands that scare me on the turn ?

so you're saying that c/minraising and giving up on turn is better? As for the first 2, hand 1 is good, and hand 2 I'd fire the turn again almost always.

[Traumfabrik]

what does he do when he isholding just overcards, which means possible 12% to hit and very bad implied odds.

[spiff21]

1. 2 barrel is bad for many reasons. Two reasons not to fire: two flush draws out, QJ has few outs (compared to AK, KQ,AQ) vs potential overpairs.

2. fire turn, push him off weak pairs. Him c/r:ing is unlikely. If he is really really weak tight post flop bet the K

3. As far as standard play goes -&gt; check/call and reevaluate turn. Under the right conditions a min c/r might work out for you. Stupid to pull big bluffs with very few outs imo.

[kaah]

1 its fine.

2 I bet turn here and if it goes check check probably not river sins its just such a bluffcard that most hands will call anyway

3 dont like it. I checkriase larger.
