A few things i should note:

* MrHayez is very loose - he played just about every hand and called raises with all sorts of junk PF to see the flop

* Definitely don't think I was raising enough PF - 3xBB doesn't seem to be enough, but even when i lifted it to 5xBB or so this guy still called every time.

* MrHayez was extremely passive preflop. He RARELY raised, usually only on the river. I suppose he trys to slowplay, but whatever. He is the King of flat-calling.

* Hand #2 - he quickly check-checked the turn, so i didnt think he had the flush. The bet on the river looked like a bluff, so after some thought i called it. Not sure about this.

* Hand #3, i was a victim of King flat-call himself. I guess it was a bit unlucky, but i tried to control the pot size by betting around 1/3 on the turn. I'm happy with the check behind on the river.

* Hand #4 - didn't think the flop had helped him, so i thought Ace high was probably good. Same goes for the turn. Luckily the fourth heart came on the river, because he claimed after the hand that he had the flush on the flop. I think i bet far too much on the river - something like $1.30 - $2 probably would have been better.


Thoughts?

Hand 1

I don't like your raise from the SB with A6o with a limper already in the pot. I personally hate playing hands like weak unsuited aces OOP.

A dream flop for you, but I would suggest betting more than the minimum - maybe half the pot, to see if anyone's willing to play. There's no obvious draws out there so you can afford to give people odds.

The turn put's a flush draw out there and the possibility that it may have hit someone that called your flop bet with overcards. I'd bet around 2/3 pot here.

The perfect river card. I agree with a half pot bet here, but as soon as you're raised I would push. If you'd bet more on previous streets it would have been easier to get all your stack in on the river.

Hand 2

I think you played it well. Pre-flop raise is fine as long as your tables not too aggressive and it's unlikely you'd be re-raised.

Good bet on the flop.

Turn I check here as well, if you bet and are check-raised then you lose the chance to fill up on the river and stack your opponent (assuming the hit their flush). I would also call the river bet.

Hand 3

Pre-flop fine.

Why the overbet on the flop? I'd bet around the pot here.

Turn, I'd bet closer to 2/3 pot.

River I check behind as well.

Hand 1:
Pre Flop - I really don't like the raise PF out of position against a villain that we know can call with ATC. Your hand isn't strong enough.
Flop - Either check or bet harder, around half the pot. Personally I prefer the check because a free card here really shouldn't harm you and the chances are he hasn't connected with the flop.
Turn - Make this bet closer to 0.8, you're giving him pretty good odds to draw to a flush.
River - good

Hand 2:
Pre Flop - Not generally the line I like to take but at least you raised it enough.
Flop - Good, you've varied how you bet your big hands, hopefully he's observant and remembers last time you flopped a big hand you pussy bet it.
Turn - Out of position I'd bet half the pot, about $2. The check in position isn't bad though as it controls the pot, only problem is if another diamond falls on the river. Still, with so few outs if he has something like Ad7x I'd be willing to take my chances.
River - Standard call imo

Hand 3:
Pre Flop - Make it 0.4 again
Flop - I don't like the overbet of the pot, you have a pretty strong hand at the moment, no need to chase action away. I'd bet just under the pot, maybe 0.7.
Turn - I'd bet about $2.25
River - Nice check

Hand 4:
Pre flop - Raise to 0.3, you have a strong hand to take the BB on with.
Flop - Good
Turn - I don't like the call purely because he doesn't raise a lot so your implied odds aren't great.
River - Good

hand 1 i wuold push river. if he has an ace hes not folding and if he has a 6 he aint foldin either!

hand 2 i would bet turn b/c its 5c/10c and not any higher stakes where you can actually put people on draws. as played, just call the riv like you did

hand 3 i would make a small half potish vbet on the riv and hope he has KQ/QJ etc

hand 4 is fine
