1/2 hands
Hands from a 1/2 NL session.
H1 Several limps, I am in the SB with AsJh. I raise to 15. Thought of completing. 3 callers. Flop is Ah3d2d. I cbet 25, only first limp/caller two to my left calls. Turn is 8h for Ah3d2d8h. I notice villain is short stacked and shove for 145 effective.
H2 I have 220, villain covers. I open raise UTG+1 to 12 with QsQd get two callers. Flop is Ks8s5s. I cbet 15, first caller, also 2 to my left, same villain, raises to 70. I fold. Annoying to fold such a strong pair and draw.
H3 I raise to 10 with TdTh UTG, different villain two to my left calls. Flop is KsKd4s. I cbet 10 and villain calls. Turn is a J. I check, villain bets 25 and I fold. I had no idea where I was at. I thought I may have played it weak.
H4 I was effective stack with about 250. UTG limps, I raise to 12 with AsKs UTG+1. HJ 3-bets to 24. He was the most active raiser at the table, but had not 3! in 2 hours. I just call. Flop is JsJc6h, x/x, turn is Ts x/x. River is 8d, x, villain bets 20 and I call.
H5, I had rebought for the minimum and had about 90. Raise to 8, caller, OMC 3-bets to 16. He had 3-bet double the bet once before and had KK. I of course had been intending to shove, but flat short stacked, hoping to hit a set and would reevaluate with an overpair and some other flops I might continue on, trying to get a read on OMC from bet sizing, etc. SB cold calls and it goes 5 to the flop. Flop is 9s8s4d. Checked to OMC, who bets 45, I fold.

H1 is fine, you could go half pot leaving another half pot bet on the river, but that'll just give flush draws a better price to call and they'll fold river if they miss. The jam allows the draws to call for an incorrect price and should still get called more often than not by worse Ax.
H2...multiway / OOP / with medium strength hand on monotone board / with strong draw...this feels like a check all day long.
H3 feels OK, this will get checked back a fair amount
H4... probably just about OK...did he river a boat? If you think he's really not 3betting much then you probably don't have many hands you beat.
H5 what's your hand?
H5, I had JJ.
Dont love the multihand posts like this, will get you much more terse answers.
H1 raise more pre, 20+, i like to put these very big raises in from sb/bb since youre quite happy with folding everyoen else. Otherwise looks fine
H2 check flop. Like what are you doing? Bluffing? Value betting?
H3 call turn, probably fold if he bets river.
H4 id bet the turn about 25% pot, and im definitely betting river if the spade comes, maybe betting anyway, you can maybe just overbet the river and get him to fold everything except JJ.
H5 seems fine.
im always going broke preflop 50 big blinds deep with JJ. at 1/2 i doubt you ever have enough hands vs a player to do otherwise. just having your opponent look old isnt enough. ive learned this the hard way.
if you were 100 big blinds deep, then yes just smooth call and see what the flop is.
I put several together, because I didn't know which were worth threads.
H1, villain snap called the shove with A8o. Made aces up on the turn. I think the shove was a good play, getting draws to fold or call with the incorrect price, and representing a semibluff with a draw to get called by a worse ace.
H4, I don't think I should have called river. Villain showed QQ, which was a shock that he had not bet it. Villain implied that if river was Qs, it would have made him queens full and me a royal flush, probably resulting in the money going in and my getting the high hand jackpot.
H5, everyone folded to 3-bettor's flop bet. 3-bettor showed an ace, and everyone interpreted that as AA rather than AK/AQ/Axs. If I was deep, it would be a great situation for any pp, playing it 5-ways to tiny 3-bet against a probably big pair. I think I played it well, but it was very read dependent.

Not surprised at all about H4, mubs is pretty intense down here, bet turn bet river like i suggested takes it down.

He played it awfully conservative, but I don't think he folds QQ to 2 bets on JJTxx. The problem was he probably cbets anything that really missed, so hard to bluff him. Could definitely have bet the turn with the combo draw though.

Turn you bet $15 into $48 and he calls, river you bet $100 into $75 and he folds. Maybe not 100% of Vs fold, but easily often enough that its profitable. And it even lets you draw to your 1 outer for the royal payout.
H1 raise more pre. in SB, or you can just complete. I would bet less on the flop, or check, and if bet flop probably check turn. V has all of 54/33/22/A3/A2/A8 and we have none of them.
H2 I'd probably check monotone flop anyway IP, 100% OOP. After the raise it's meh ... would depend on V reads. Esp. wtf raising so big means. Is it ever just As7c. We have a strong hand vs. semi bluffs, but are crushed if it's always a flush/set and often the nuts.
H3 Don't open raise to 10 (max rake). Check flop or bet less. Turn is meh again.
H4 Can just 4bet pre. at close to 100bb ... it's going to be difficult to continue with a call here OOP because when we hit he either has better or it's kind of obvious we could have hit vs. his QQ/JJ. Like the hands we want him to have 3bet to make the call good make a 4bet even better.
As played I probably can't help myself betting turn, not sure if it's good though.
