Here’s a hand I should have won:

 

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6h, 5h.   

UTG calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero checks.

 

Flop: (4.33 SB) 7c, 6c, 7d (4 players)

Hero bets, UTG calls, MP3 folds, CO raises, Hero calls, UTG calls.

 

I probably have the best hand here, but I only knock out one player by leading. CO could be raising for a free card. I was tempted to 3bet, but that wouldn’t do any good.

 

Turn: (5.16 BB) 9d (3 players)

Hero checks, UTG checks, CO checks.

 

I wanted to check raise here on a safe card, but that didn’t happen.

 

River: (5.16 BB) Qd (3 players)

Hero checks, UTG bets, CO folds, Hero calls.

 

I cry call, knowing I probably do not have the best hand and have let UTG catch up. My only hope UTG is bluffing.

 

Results below: 

Hero has 6h 5h (two pair, sevens and sixes). 

UTG has 9c Ks (two pair, nines and sevens). 

 

 

What I should have done: Check raise the flop, go heads up and take down the pot.

 

Did I play this one right? Check raise the flop? Too aggressive?

 

Preflop: Hero is BB with Qh, 5c.   

MP2 calls, CO calls, SB completes, Hero checks.

 

Flop: (4 SB) 2h, Qd, 8c (4 players)

SB checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls, CO calls, SB calls.

 

Turn: (4 BB) 6d (4 players)

SB checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls, CO folds, SB folds.

 

River: (6 BB) Kc (2 players)

Hero bets, MP2 calls.

 

Results below: 

Hero has Qh 5c (one pair, queens). 

MP2 has Jd 8d (one pair, eights).
