Stacks:
UTG
($33.55)
Hero
($27.35)
CO
($21.35)
BTN
($24.65)
SB
($16.60)
BB
($6.45)

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 6 players) Hero is UTG+1

UTG calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, 1 fold, SB calls $0.15, BB checks

UTG limps and I call behind hoping to play a big limp pot. I should have 3 betted if I was going to play this hand in UTG + 1.

Flop: ($1.25, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $1.25, Hero calls $1.25, CO calls $1.25, SB calls $1.25, BB folds

I flop the nut flush draw but on a paired board. 5 way action, utg bet and I call hoping for a heart on the turn. Once CO, SB calls, a red flag should had come up. They are either on a flush draw or flop a Full Boat.

Turn: ($6.25, 4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $5, CO calls $5, SB calls $5, UTG folds

Check to me and I bet my nut flush. CO and SB calls. They either have a Full Boat, trips or a smaller flush.

River: ($21.25, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero goes all-in $20.85, CO calls $14.85, SB folds

I elect to shove and get called by a smaller flush, str8, trips.

Results in white: CO shows the flop Full Boat 78o

Stacks:
Hero
($28.25)
SB
($36.35)
BB
($25.15)

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 3 players) Hero is BTN

Hero raises to $0.85, SB calls $0.75, 1 fold

Standard pf r vs tight passive SB and BB (same Villain from Hand 7)

Flop: ($1.95, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.5, SB calls $1.5

Standard c bet on a dry flop which is unlikely to hit BB

Turn: ($4.95, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.5, SB raises to $7, Hero folds

I hit a oe str8 draw on the turn but I think I am behind so I bet. I think the mistake involved me betting because the turn didn't change much and BB probably has something that he will not fold. I have to fold the the c/mini r because this villain is so passive and probably slowplayed flop trips or a turn Full Boat

Final Pot: $11.95

SB wins $14.9 ( won +$5.55 )
Hero lost -$5.85

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 3 players) Hero is SB

1 fold, Hero raises to $0.75, BB calls $0.5

Standard pf r vs tight passive multi tabler.

Flop: ($1.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $1, BB calls $1

Standard c bet to take down the pot.

Turn: ($3.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $2, Hero calls $2

I made a mistake by not betting the turn scare card which made a flush. My range hits this better than villains. However, I had the nut flush draw and elected to check/call. I think if I betted, I would have taken down the pot in hindsight because of my aggressive image.

River: ($7.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks

Results in White Villian show pock 9 with the club flush draw for the win

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 5 players) Hero is UTG

Hero raises to $0.85, CO calls $0.85, 3 folds

Standard pf r

Flop: ($2.05, 2 players)
Hero bets $1.5, CO calls $1.5

Standard c bet into tricky player who likes to float and mini raise in position

Turn: ($5.05, 2 players)
Hero bets $2.5, CO raises to $5, Hero calls $2.5

I made a mistake by betting weak and got mini raise. About 15 hands ago he did a mini raise on the flop and I folded. I thought he might be doing this with a draw or monster, so I elected to call. I thought about shoving but I would never get called by a worst hand.

River: ($15.05, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

One of the worst cards in the deck because this guy probably has a Ace in his hand or will use it to bluff with. He checks behind and shows.........

Results in white AQo for the river win vs my pock K

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 5 players) Hero is SB

1 fold, CO raises to $0.85, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.75, 1 fold

Hero was playing Tag and CO had just lost a big pot and may have been steaming. I didn't see his hand because I was sitting out but the other guy slow played a flop FB vs him. I think my first mistake was not 3 betting pre flop and taking the pot down.

Flop: ($1.95, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.5, Hero calls $1.5

I could check raise the flop but I decided to call hoping for him to shut down if he was bluffing.

Turn: ($4.95, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $3, Hero calls $3

I hit two pair on the turn but it also made the flush. I elect to check call because I do not want to play a big pot OOP on such a scary board and see no value in betting or raising.

River: ($10.95, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $4, $4 to Hero ($29.6)?



I check call hoping to catch a bluff. He betted so small that I think I have to call with my two pair.

Results in white. Villian showed down the turn flush 67d

Pre-flop: ($0.35, 4 players) Hero is BTN

SB says "idiot", 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.85, 1 fold, BB calls $0.6

Flop: ($1.8, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB calls $1

Turn: ($3.8, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2.5, BB calls $2.5

(A light be on the turn but I think a good one because he could be on a flush draw)

River: ($8.8, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $6, BB raises to $12, Hero calls $6

(When he checks I think he missed his flush draw but I need to bet just in case he has something he can pay me off with. When he CR mini on the river, I am lost and don't know what he has. I think he might be bluffing with a missed flush draw or hit a oe str8 with 9J or even have the same hand as me.

I make a crying call and I am wrong. I think I made a mistake by betting too much when I had him on a flush draw or a weak 2nd or 3rd pair. I should have v betted between $3-$5 to get a crying call from him with the range I put him on)

Final Pot: $32.80

BB wins $31.2 ( won +$14.85 )
