4) Was gutted about this one as knocked me out of the 100Gtd and I was doing well, but could I have played this any other way or folded?

LOL_RAISE

hand1 id bet bigger on flop other than that looks fine

hand2 i would fold preflop as we are out of position with rubbish hand, postflop looks fine.

hand3 well played

hand4 shove instead of reraising small, we only have 13bbs.

hand5 i would check/call the flop and reevaluate on the turn

The_Don90

Hand one - bet more on river if your going to

Hand Two - Fold pre - losing play in the long run

Hand Three - Brave call, but good one in this instance, at these levels usually racing, but at higher levels your usually dominated

Hand four - Guessing this is a dym, if so fold to the raise - you want to be shoving rather than calling in these situations.

Hand Five - Too small a raise

hey COLDPLAY

Hand1 : U should be making your c-bets the same or more than your preflop raises so 32p or more otherwise ur pricing him into chase cards.

Hand 2: Fold pre and i would consider folding to re raise on turn as u have serious kicker troubles however as you got to the river and hit betting out is fine, good size value bet aswell!!

Hand 3: Played how it should be played IMO at this level

Hand 4: Nothing wrong with this u needed a double up so i would just shove after the raise rather than re raise because its getting called regardless.

Hand 5: I remember this hand very well cz we spoke after in chatbox, the raise was weak pre so i repopped it up to what i would raise with AJ in this situation with no action b4, when u bet out so strong you give away your hand tbh and i had the ace so just shoved causing less hassle down the streets for myself. If you check the flop i would of checked it back so u wouldnt be calling anything on this flop to me and then i would of bet turn and river giving u a chance to get out with that hand as the ace fell. I dont think calling the allin is good as you are beaten by so much

Right my two pennies

1)Good Bet pre, Dont mind checking flop but if betting should be 54p or at least more then you raised pre i like 3/4 pot. Rest played fine imo

2) Fold Pre

3)I dont mind call due to opponents stack size, if they had £3+ i would probably fold and wait for a better spot

4) Would not re-riase here would just call, after opponent re-raises all in i would definatley fold dont want to be calling with KQ

5)Dont min raise, dont mind fold or raise to 600 pre here but if you want to play bet as if you have a genuine hand. After flop bet and batkin goes all in would fold, she is never doing this lighter then top pair bad kicker imo. all player dependant in future but as i know batkin i would fold after she has gone all in.
