Some NL50 hands... Thoughts please

EvilPingu

Fed up of donating to DYM regs so decided to play some cash. Played for about 3 hours, and was break even at the end of the session. Picked out some hands I'd like feedback on.

1) Could've folded pre, but once I've flopped the straight draw, I check-raised and got stationed by someone with a gutshot. Cooler?

2) Never played the villain before - Better to flat IP rather than 4-bet?

5) Can I get away from this one? Another hand where I was really surprised to see what the villain had. Didn't expect to see any Ax hands here, put the villain on Qx and thought I was miles ahead.

6) Got incredibly lucky, didn't know from the start of the hand what I was going to do with my Pocket 10's in this situation, made a complete mess of it but binked.

Hand 1 dont know why we are raising flop (am ry drunk btw - havent seen results yet if we are bluffing make 6.50)

Ok seen result ouch.PPl will say fold pre to avoid but i wont, hsppy to peel this hand.  Dont like shove river tho.

Hand 2 kind of turning hand face up, but even then ppl will peel as will suited paint.  Unlucky to find a villains with hand in jar IMO.  May flat IP tho

3) you fire a bullet and are fortunate enough to see two streets for free......................Flat or raise bigger pre forobv reasons.  Once been called on flop I dont see much point in firing again.

Hand 4) Not sure I do same, but you had a line and stuck with, thats all tht maters outcome regardless, hero call from J Q quicker IMO

Hand 5) Dont like donk lead at all tbh and think we can avoid river stack off

6) Looks like you were just getting frustrated tbh, but I get it

May revise this when pink elephants have stopped jabbering at me.

1. Fold pre villain short, rest fine

2. Flat 3bet with no history, 4betting ok too, prob make it a little smaller

3. either flat open or 3bet a little bigger. I prob just check back flop unless you are trying to get him off better, in which case you need to fire more than 1 bullet

4. I'd generally flat pre. Think you should be checking back river. Id sometimes just check turn. Whole hand is pretty dynamic dependent though

5. c/c flop, prob c/f river

6. prob fold pre, depends how likely he is to squeeze light though

4) River card is a great card for me to call because in theory it's so bad for your value range. I'd expect you to check behind a lot of hands that are ahead of me and jam all your missed draws and airballs (KQ/AQ/AK/spades/junk/lower pairs turned into bluffs). Before that I just policed you hard though.

Hand 5 - Don't know why I donk lead - Probably because it was 3:30am, I must've been half asleep and thought that I raised pre-flop, not the other guy, 'cause 99.9% of the time, I wouldn't usually lead there.
