They all look pretty good.

You seem to like to give away free cards before you find out if your hand is good.


You really reraise that first hand preflop like that and check air? If you are going to check /call you better put him on a hand/player that will fire more than once or it's a bad play IMO. Just make a CB bet and go from there.

I feel like you played the second hand very passive until you had the second nuts and at that point you weren't likely to get called by much. You played it like a flush draw or someone who got the boat at the end.

Third hand I probably would have bet a little more on the turn, with multiple draws out there, and of course you are forced to check the river. At least I saw you building a pot this time though...

hand 1 looks pretty good

hand 2 i'd raise that flop to get it heads up, might fold to a 3-bet though

hand 3 bet more on that flop and turn, a queen is calling pretty much anything up to a pot sized bet and you want to get the money in ASAP

Hand 1 is fine.

Hand 2 I definitely raise that flop to protect my hand against clubs or a 5 outer.

Hand 3 looks OK. I think I bet more on the turn as well since it has become quite draw heavy now. Good river check though.

Does nobody lead the turn on hand one?
