[Closed] Please evaluate some of my hands

Well, you came here with a lot of job ♦ So i'll try to think off somethnig about these hands.

1. You should raise to about 150 pre-flop, because of the limpers there. The cbet on the flop is ok, because of your good position and all the passives before you. I don't like your turn bet though. With the BB staying in the game i would have checked it, because hands like QT, JT exactly in his range. Now when you didn't hit anything on the flop and failed to bluff the villain out with cbet (Now i think you should have raised more, say 2/3 pot or even a pot size bet) You are pretty much behind with his range on the showdown plus with not much Fold Equity here. So i check the turn and take the free river he grants us.
2. I think NH, well played. With betting such small amount on the turn, we can think that we are having fold equity here and we don't want the villain to fold, so i think the slowcall is ok here. The river is a bit ugly, but i think it's still a good push, because you never fold a straight. Not on these limits. Just make note on such a player, it can help greatly in the future.
3. Maybe fold turn, i think definetly fold river, but i'm really unsure about this hand. Again the ugly, drawy board here. This is the time, when reads become essential. If you have good reads on a villain here, then you can make a decision. If you know he's playing some middle pairs, you should shove. If he had shown a tight image it's pretty easy fold here. But this hand would be interessting for me to hear it from the judges.

THx for fast reply.
I will see what they will say:)

Hey there Sinnology. In future, just post one hand per thread, it makes them easier to assess.

1. If you are going to raise AQ from middle position in early blind levels, then the standard 3xBB raise + 1BB per limper would make this 150 preflop. With 5 opponents, check/fold the flop for me. After you are called, check behind the missed turn for sure.

2. JTo is fold preflop for me here. Two limpers isn't really enough to justify, with the possibility that the blinds may raise. Again with the 5 opponents, two overcards to your pair, and multiple draws, I wouldn't even call this bet. One of the checkers may raise now as well. Your pair is weak, your kicker worthless, as it would complete straights, and your draw unlikely.

Once the draw completes on the turn, and you now have the nuts, I would raise for value and still to protect. You will get it in against two pairs or flush draws, and even weaker hands which won't fold. You have to build a pot now, not wait for them to outdraw you on the river.

3. Again, raising to 200 preflop. Definitely cbet this flop, around 280-300 chips. Once called, mostly checking down or folding, on this turn, which completes straights, and puts two overcards on the board, I would fold to the donk. It seems weak, but basically a fish wants value from you, and you have paid him off for another 440 chips by the river. I don't see Queens as ever good anymore.

Agree with all except number 3 . We can check back the flop cause lots of turn cards are ok for us. It also keeps us from getting check/raised off the best hand by a flushdraw. On the turn with out gutshot + most-likely live Queen for trips outs we can call directly for pot odds. All the rest of the analyses are spot on though!

THank you for your replys
