Five Hands I Had Trouble With

[Must Warn Others]

1.) Villain is a multitabling regular, but not especially good. I'm not using a hud but he is probably 20-30vp pf and raises all of his holdings first to act. No other reads.

2.) No Reads. Villain used a fair amount of timebank before he shoved river. What is the optimal play on each street?

3.) No reads, but he took some time before calling flop. I kind of felt like he had a set and was going for an overcall, but that might be seeing monsters underneath the bed.

4.) Villain is nationz, too loose and doesnt know what hes doing most of the time.

5.) Villain is nationz once again. I checked behind flop because he played extremely straightforward to my c-bets. I wanted to get some value out of my hand. However, by the river I am fairly certain that my hand is not good and think that it is not a bad spot to turn it into a bluff. Bad spot?

HAND 1: Easy fold- he has aces/kings at least 80% of time. You could check flop depending on his usual frequency of C/Bets /your read on him.

HAND 2: Check river- betting is retarded.

HAND 3: You played it good- easy fold on river as you don't beat anything.

Hand 4: Prob check turn

HAND 5: Why did you raise river? He doesn't bet an ace here. He will call unless he is bluffing. I fold river

1- i dont mind so much its a spot you win a small pot or lose a big one, as long as you havent been getting out of line lately.
2. you may have misplayed the flop just calling here out of position but i liek your river fold here
3.i think i call here, its really rare that the villian would try and trap in a multiway pot seems like he has a straight draw or diamonds
4. i think i agree with checking the turn here, now that youve put in a bet and a raise its tough. Id fold since your hand is face up and the villian is saying he has a better hand
5. call river, a raise is pretty bad i think

this HH is a bit messed up

[Must Warn Others]

In Hand 1, BTN = UTG. He opened pf and then c/red flop as PFR.

[fringsrache]

hand 1: fix hh plz
hand 2: dont know about the river. i think c/c or c/f are far much better then b/f or b/c
hand 3: fold river.
hand 4: check behind on the turn. as played fold to his raise.
hand 5: bad river card... 50% call 50% fold
