3 hands from the million. help i'm horrible

[joeyb]

I don't ever play Mtt's or NL, but am attempting to learn. how should each of these hands have been played, and why?

the first hand i suppose i should have raised the flop? how much?
the second hand i guess is ok, but i felt weak doing it.
third hand, i'm not sure. what am i suppose to do on the turn? is my flop bet ok?

That's what it looks like to me - not aggressive enough. After downloading poker tracker and watching hand replays w/ villains hand showing, I have learned that sometimes you just need to keep on pushing into your opponent wether you want to or not - you cannot be afraid of losing your buy in and they will quite often fold to if you are persistent enough, and it helps in future hands when they simply don't want to get involved in a pot w/ you anymore.

Does anybody like a shove over on flop for the first hand? 30% CBet seems weak to me, and is more likely a whiffed AJ+ than TT+.

Thoughts?

That certainly wouldn't be a bad choice - - most of the time when you get a little probe bet like that your opponent has missed but wants to see another card for as cheap as possible, shoving here would be an excellent choice IMO.

Hand 1 - reraise. Shove works. But I bust out TT alot.
Hand 2 - fine but yes it does suck to have to fold. you can peel one here for 4-6 outs but youre not getting odds.
Hand 3 - definately bet more. 750-900.
