Is there anyway I could have checked through all these??

I just don't see the point of checking. I know I wasnt holding a very strong hand. but in any situation I'd call their 1 bb anywayz. so I chose to bet out, and if they reraise me, then I could think of folding the hand.

For me they would be folds preflop. Use the charts and you won't get into these marginal type spots.


Hi Winitall and welcome to our FL section.

Posting your hands here was a very good idea as you have a huge preflop leak.
Pease reread this artile her carefully:

Preflop is one of the most important streets for beginners as wrong moves will cost yo a lot money postflop.

All 3 hands should be folded preflop and it would have saved you a lot money.

So posting here was very good for you. But better late then never. :)

As postflop is less interesting if you should have folded preflop I only give you a short answer to each hand. If you have questions about it please don't hesitate to answer them. :)

1) You should either 3-bet this flop or fold it directly. For FullRing tables I prefer a direct fold. On the turn you should heck behind as you twopair is nothing worth anymore.

2) 3-bet this flop directly to prevent him from taking a freecard on the turn if he raised with a flush- or straightdraw.

3) Don't donkbet on the flop. He was the preflop aggressor so it's better to let him bet so you can raise him. After that you bet/calldown the turn and river.
This artilce might be interesting for you as well:

I hope that you keep postng hands as it will improve your game very fast. Please don't be offended if I was to directly. :)
