I find myself losing the most money from these type of situations, can you guys look over these examples and let me know your thoughts. I am not at home where the actual HH is so I will try to explain the best I can

Playing .02/ .04 for about 50 hands or so

I pick up AQ off from the SB action folds around to me

I raise to .12 into the BB which calls making the pot .24

I have around 300 HH from the BB and his Vpip is 43 and PFR is 3

Flop comes 10 Q 6, I bet .16 into .24 and the BB call making the pot .56

Turn brings another 10 and I bet .40 and the BB calls again making the pot 1.36

River is a 3 I tank and then check and the BB bets 1.20 into 1.36 and I call and lose to 10 9

On the flop when he calls I am thinking he could have a 10, worse Q or straight draw like KJ, J9

On the turn after I bet and the action was on him, he was tanking for a few seconds and I thought that he had a 10 and was thinking if calling or raising would be a better option for him to get the most money

On the river I considered block betting hoping he would just call and not raise but decided to check/ call.





I had been playing for around 80 hands and was up 2.50 or so

I am in the BB, there are two limpers and it gets to me with K5 off I check to see a flop

Flop comes 5K2 with two diamonds, there is .16 in the pot and I bet .12, one player folds and 1 calls which over 200+ hands he was 53 VPIP / 8PFR

Turn comes A and I bet .25 into .40 pot and he calls again making the pot .90

River comes 4, flush did not get there, I bet .65 and get raised to 1.44, I call

He shows 83 of diamonds for a straight

My thoughts during the hand were:

On the flop call by him I was thinking he had some sort of flush draw, like Ax because he did not raise pre I did not put him on high cards like AK, KQ, KJ etc.

When the turn comes an A I am thinking it’s possible that he paired and still has a flush draw so I bet for value thinking he may raise or at least call

On the river raise by him I was thinking what kind of three could have been calling three streets and the only made since was A3 of diamonds, now that I am thinking about this hand again he could have had any flush draw with a 3 and that would make since, is this a correct call or should I have folded to the raise

Should I have check and called? Or check folded?

Please let me know your thoughts about these and situations like these, also am I thinking correctly about things in these spots? If not please inform

hand 1: check call the turn and river.

hand 2: looks fine

both villains look like fish who have extremely wide ranges.

hand 1-- you can check call or value bet/fold to raise. I can't say I would do one more than the other, but a .80 bet on the river gets you more info than a 1.20 call here (I believe) just because I don't think villain is bluffing a lot here.

Hand 2---I know it's hard to give up a hand like that, but when you got raised on the river, it's almost never a bluff and so it should be folded. any 3 was in easily in V's range. Did you have history of him bluffing on busted flush draws? Then a call is completely fine.

Hand 1: .... check/fold the turn it's that simple. and raise the river if he checked behind the turn... Pot control and to get money off weaker hands like Qx hands or PP's

Hand 2: Whenever the board appears to have a lot of threats out there. Your river raise will only get called by better/ or raised by better. I don't believe theres any value raising here your just burning money.
