Hi,

I have some doubts in the way I played these hands yesterday. I have a lot of problems deciding when to fold or go all-in when I have top pair with top kicker, or when I have overpair, but the other player is pushing me... Lots of times they have set and I lose all my money X(

Sorry, but the hands missed, I edit them here

Hand 1:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
9 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP3 with Q :club: Q :diamond:
3 folds, MP2 calls, Hero raises to $1.25, 4 folds, MP2 calls.

Flop: 3 :spade: 3 :club: 4 :club: ($2.85, 2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets $2, MP2 raises to $4, Hero calls.

Turn: T :diamond: ($10.85, 2 players)
MP2 bets $6, Hero calls.

River: 7 :diamond: ($22.85, 2 players)
MP2 is all-in $12.75, Hero calls.

I have overpair, but he is fighting the pot very strongly. Re-raise again in the flop and if he goes all-in fold my hand? Or just call in the flop and fold in the turn against his bet?

Hand 2:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
8 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is Button with J :club: A :club:
3 folds, MP2 calls, CO folds, Hero raises to $1.25, BB calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: 9 :spade: Q :heart: J :heart: ($3.85, 4 players)
Hero bets $2.5, BB calls.

Turn: K :diamond: ($8.85, 3 players)
Hero checks, BB is all-in $2.05, Hero calls.

River: A :heart: ($12.95, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $12.95)

Results:
Final pot: $12.95

Did I play it all right or should I have folded in the turn?

Hand 3:

Similar situation to hand number one...


Hand 1) you´re beaten probably by 44, it´s not very likely that he has 33 or 34.

So if you believe that he has 44 then fold on the flop. If you don´t believe re-raise 12$ and call his shove:) Depends on your reads. Against unknown I would fold (if he isn´t aggressive)

Hand 2) I would check/fold flop. Against 3 players you are probably behind and there are a lot of draws. If you bet out then put him all-in on the turn, you can´t check/fold.

Hand 3) Similar to hand 1 indeed. The board is so drawy that I would probably call flop and to his strong turn bet I´d fold it.

1. He c/r you on the flop, so he should have a hand here. He may have: a 3 (not very likely...), a 4 (I don't think he c/r this), an overpair (very likely) or a flushdraw (likely). Given this range, I decide at the flop to be commited - the question is how to get the money in. I'd call the flop as I'm IP and how for another turn bet and then raise the turn. If he has a weaker pocket or a FD, we get more value compared to raising the flop directly and thus making our hand explicit.

2. I don't make a c-bet her, as any bet commits me. I just c/f as the call of the small stack is often a trap and I have a very marginal hand on this board.

3. I call the minraise, but fold to the strong turn bet. I think TPTK is not enough given his strong line.
