Hand 1 is so crappy. I hate that spot. Don't raise flop, weird as it seems. As played, I guess fold. I can't imagine a hand you beat.

Hand 2, I check the turn. As played, fold. He clearly has a set.

Hand 3 is pretty close. Idk.

Good post, really tough hands.

[wikemang]

hand 1: call flop, as played call turn getting &gt;6:1 and hope for a cheap showdown.

hand 2: check on the turn and fold as played

hand 3: i think fold is the correct play. dry board, tight villain, i'm thinking that he's not raising your flop cbet with worse than a pair of kings.
