    Here I was drying to make a profit and things went wrong, should I have been able to get off this hand at the river?

  2. 1st hand - played fine

    2nd hand - after reraising, i lead out that flop 100% of the time, even with quads. you might be able to get TT-QQ to call you or even raise there but chances are you're not winning any more there. checking that flop after reraising usually signals a really strong hand (KK, AA, AK)

    3rd hand - you're only beating a bluff on the river, so if he's been known to bluff i might pay it off, but most of hte time i'm folding there. he could have A9, A7, or AT, all hands that beat you
  3. Hand one, not much you can do there. You got two callers of your pre-flop raise and you see and ace on the flop with a bet and a call in front of you. Your hand is most likely no good and you're drawing to two outs. Even though you would have had a huge hand on the turn, I think this is probably a good laydown on the flop.

    Hand two, you are probably not going to get paid off because you re-raised preflop and he didn't make his set. He's probably got you on a hand like AA, AK, KK, QQ, etc. The only way you get paid here is if he makes a move on the pot. I think it's ok to show some weakness on the flop suggesting that you don't have a K and that your high pp is vulnerable. But, regardless of your hand, you would have to bet out on the turn. The fact that you don't bet almost makes it look like you flopped a monster.

    Hand three is more complicated. You flop top pair and strong kicker and the board has no great draws. It is possible that your opponent flopped two pair though or a set. He calls like he is either slowplaying or on a draw, but there's not much out there for draws. I could go either way on your river call. When the straight is that obvious on the board, I think I would fold the river. Yeah, he can rep the 8 here on a bluff, but with your activity all through the hand, there's no evidence to him that you're weak and he can't assume that you'll fold here. So, I guess it makes sense that he is value betting the river which suggests a fold is right. But, at the same time, he could have been playing A-X and puts you on a higher ace and when a scare card hits the river he could bet out trying to steal the pot. I'd say more often than not, he's got you beat here, but with all the money in the pot, sometimes you gotta make this call.
