what would you do next...if you decided to fluff up the flop like me hahahah

Hand one I'd just raise preflop here. No need to get fancy with AKo. Obviously you have to fold to the push.
Hand two I'm folding preflop. If I'm playing it 5 handed I'm raising it. I don't get why you're bluffing the river here. There are no reasonable draws on the board. So he pretty much has to have a King(or a sneaky jack)
Hand three I can only see the 10 of spades. What is your other card so I can give a little more help. I don't get why you minraised the flop. If you have TT you can smooth call the flop if you want, you want someone to pick up a draw. You just check raised and then checked the turn. He probly has AA-KK since he minraised preflop. I'd lead out $ 5 on the turn. And about the same on the river. I'm assumong you had T-T ^^ If it's AT its different.

it is AT

thx bonch ..didn't know about the 2nd point.
3rd hand is AT

Hmm, I'd play it very straightforward. Lead the flop for $1.25. Bet $3-4 on the turn and either make a blocking bet or a check depending on the river.

Hand #1. I think there are so many ways to play AK but I think the best two ways is to either limp and see a flop or raise big to pick up the pot preflop or atleast narrow it down to heads up or two players. I think the way you played it was pretty good given the situation.

Hand #2. I think limping preflop is the best move with low/medium pocket pairs even with 5 players. With that flop and only three people in the hand, none showing strength preflop I would like to see some kind of bet out of you probably around $1.25. If the flop bet is called I would check/fold or check/call the turn and river depending on the player and cards.

Hand #3. I have actually played SOO many hands at 25cent50cent and it really comes down to the player. He could have 10J,Q10 or K10 or as bonch said even KK or AA. I do in fact think you have him beat via el ace kicker and with just under $10 left with nearly $4 in the pot would probably have to push all in after his turn bet. This does depend on the player. If he is an average player to loose I would call or raise all in ( I dont feel that just raising is an option given your short stack(only about $5 if you decide to raise $3 on the turn.) If he was a tight player I would just call and see a river and go from their. (value betting/calling the river and possibly folding depending on the player/river card)

Hi coash all i can say is WATCH OUT FOR SUPREME POKER,VERY GOOD PLAYER.After having played against SUPREME POKER a bit,i would say your fold in hand one was a good one against SUPREME POKER.Very unlikely to be making a move here.And in hand 2 would not have bet into this person with fives lol.Just a bit of minor observation on this.GL AT THE TABLES.

yeah i've got notes on supreme poker. I know he's high stakes as well. but yeah I got the fuk out after I evened up
