i don't like the turn.

you have claimed the aggression in the hand with a bizarrely irrelevant 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I don't get what you're expecting to happen here.


other two hands look fine... although i'm not convinced that raising more (and building a bigger pot) with the 88 hand when you're OOP is a good move... i'd much rather make a bigger re-raise with the AK (where you're in position, are hugely ahead of villain's range) than with the 88 (where you're going to be out of position, and marginally ahead of villain's range)

Check raise flop a little harder in hand 2. It was bad luck, but take solace in the fact that you had a big equity edge on the flop and all the money is likely going in by the river.
Like if he hadn't boated up (I'm assuming), would he have folded a set getting 3:1, I don't think so. This is why you want to bet a bit more as he could have pair plus the ace of hearts or a set or a lower flush and you want to tie them onto the hand.
With the nut flush, I play it a bit weaker.

On the QJ hand, your outs are tainted, fold. Also fold pf oop with a suited connector facing a strong three bet.

I think the AK hand is good, though I would raise more pf.

I think the 88 hand is just fine as long as you don't automatically rr 88 every time.
Once you hit open ended plus pair you've got to go with it facing those pot odds.

what are the odds on the turn. i counted 1.8-1 but i suck horribly at math

Hello.

On this table I've raised 7/9 times PF (all good hands, none went to showdown). This is the first 3bet on this table that I witness. Deep stakced villain is a 28/23/8 regular and the shorty's a 72/37/whatever (#1 on my buddy list). Good? Bad?

any particular reason you shove?

just call since wwelho cant shove and you are getting called by exactly one hand you beat preflop, and i dobt he's 3-betting your UTG opens that wide if hes a regular (since he will have PT/HUD and be multitabling and not care that you have raised a lot on this one tables.
