Ironically this is the first one you posted where I don't raise preflop.

KJo has a very thin edge against a bunch of bad hands, so I only raise it for strategic reasons like buying the button or thinning the field or generating FE later.

Postflop looks good.

I think the raise really depends on how loose your limpers are. Against three terrible limpers, I don't mind the raise at all. With even one decent player in there, your preflop edge could be very, very thin.

Flop and river are perfect. I sometimes raise the turn, but it depends on my opponent, and I'm also in my LAG phase.

Flop is standard. A read on MP1 would help but it looks ominous. When I call the turn I think I'm calling any non diamond river for one bet.

Ditto.

To Nemesis: What's the question here? The only debatable part I can see is the turn; against someone who likes to donk with top pair I might consider raising to try to get UTG+1 to fold a small diamond. My default here is to play it like you did though.

The turn was what I had in question. Does anyone pop it again. I was thinking I'll just call down when he came alive like that. Then when the 4th diamond came I said screw it. MP1 had K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I liked the raise on the other hands. On this one I like a limp. I don't HATE the raise, but I prefer a limp. Flop is fine. I can't make myself fold the turn, but you did the right thing laying down the river.

*Grunch*

PF: I hate raising here. There are three limpers in already and at least one of them could have you dominated. It depends of course how loose the limpers are but still I'd never raise here after three limpers in a full ring game. I just don't think it's +EV without specific reads.

Post-flop seems fine. I wonder why MP1 didn't go for a check-raise but I don't think he's bluffing here either after a re-raise from you at the flop. Turn call is good and river fold also.
