    Hand 1.

    I raise from the CO to $4 with 89 of diamonds.
    The BB calls. No reads.

    Flop comes 7-J-T with 2 hearts. He checks. I bet $8. He calls.
    Turn is non heart T. He checks. I bet $20 He calls. River is the 9 of hearts. He leads for $20. I ????

    Hand 2

    1 limper and I complete the small blind with Q-9o.
    Flop is Q-J-4. I lead for $3. limper calls.
    Turn is another Queen. I bet $7. He calls.
    River a 6. I bet $10. He raises the minimum. I ????

    Hand 3

    Villain in this hand is an idiot. I raise to $4 from the CO with K-Js . He makes it $10 from the BB. His range has to be off the charts here because he has done this to me atleast twice before and I only have 60 hands on him. I call

    Flop is J-T-5. rainbow He goes all in!!! I have $90 and he covers me. Call?

    Hand 4

    Everyone limps in and I raise to $7 from the SB with Jacks. Idiot ($35) UTG calls. Folded to the button who pushes all in for $70!!! I cover. Call?

    1. I call (because it's so cheap) and look like an idiot. I'm just a sucker for 4:1 odds.
    2. Again I call, it's a minimum raise no-one is ever making me fold for a minimum raise on the river. But I probably wouldn't have lead the river.
    3. Hmmm, I'd need more info as to what sort of an idiot he was, but it certainly looks marginal, it's unlikely your beaten but it's such a mad play, I'd use the last 60 hands to make my mind up here.
    4. Instacall, there is no way he has AA, KK or QQ here usually.

    1. Most of the time against a decent palyer you are beaten here, but if he had the heart draw I don't really like his play to be honest. As Ste says, the odds may be good enough to justify a call here as he ma sometimes do this because of the scare card.
    2. Easy enough call. I wouldn't be amazed if you are beaten here by any means, but I think you have to call.
    3. Tough one. If you are convinced he is an idiot who will do this with a wide range then call, but unless I am convinced I am laying this down.
    4. I'm not sure I really want to call, but since I lack discipline I do. The fact that the button limped along with loads of others makes me inclined to agree with Ste that he doesn't have a bigger pair. Midpair or AJ/AQ would be my guess, so on that basis, call.

    1. Call. Its cheap and too often this a stopper bet with trip 10's.
    2. Call.
    3. Fold.Give up your $10 and wait for a better spot. Sounds like you'll get one.
    4. Call. I often see this move done with mid pairs hoping for a race.

    i am a calling station and i call all 4.

    the only one i consider folding is hand 1, but this is .50/1 and 2 pair will value bet that river...

    hand 2 is an auto call because of the value and the fact you have 3 queens!! I'd be worried your kicker is ****ed here but for $10 you can hardly fold. cold deck!!

    hand 3 I defo call. If he has an over pair or AJ I'd be surprisd with that bet.

    4th hand, buttom limp pushed right? i guarantee he has between 33 and 77, or a suited Ax or KQ. insta call.

    Hand 1 I folded. This is a relaly scary board for him. I doubt he is betting trip tens often enough. I'm splitting the pot if he has an eight. There's apossible full house out there and the river made a straight for KQ and a very likely flush.

    Hand 2. I called. He had JQ. It might be 4-1 but how often do you see a hand you beat when you get min raised on the river?

    Hand 3. I made a stupid call. I thought he was just at it with AK. I've seen some morons do this, this week with 22 and A6. He had AJ, but I turned a King! :o

    Hand 4. I actualy had Kings this hand so naturally I called. I was curious what everyone would do with Jacks in this spot because amazingly he had Queens.

    In hand 2 i dont think you should lead the river. Any draw has missed and you have exactly what your representing. Check to induce a bluff

    I can only ever justify checking a big hand on the river when I'm sure he's drawing. I think he has just a jack or an underpair far too often for checking to be right.
