I was just involved with a bunch of hands where I'm not 100% sure I played them correctly.
I'll post one a day, or something. So as not to flood the board.
Here's the first one:

So it was still relatively early on, and I hadn't been playing many hands so I decided to switch it up a bit with this hand. Not sure about that decision.
When he bet on the flop I definitely wasn't putting him on a draw, I put him on the Ace or Queen. Het bet $150 into $825, giving me I believe 5.5 - 1 pot odds. Someone tell me if this is correct. I'm still trying to get this down.
Now with counting outs, that would only be the 9 spades left. I've heard to take your number of outs and multiply it by 4 and this is a way to get a ballpark percentage of what the chances are you will hit your draw. Is this correct? If it is then I'm around 36% to catch this flush. Would that be a correct call then?
Then when the Jack hit that gave me an inside straight if I caught a ten. So I added 4 extra outs, 13 total.
A bet of $300 into $1125. So now the pot odds are a little less than 4 - 1.
Because the Jack gave me 4 extra outs is why I decided to call. I suppose I should have thought of the size of my chip stack before I just called. I wouldn't have a healthy amount left.
The bet on the river was strictly a value bet. If I would have bet higher I figured he'd fold. Definitely because he was on a draw himself and didnt catch it. I don't really know why he called here. I guess he wasn't giving me credit, which is strange because I'd had such a tight image up until then.
Now that I'm looking at it, it definitely seems as if it was played by a total beginner. I thought I was making the right decisions at the time. I don't know, what do you think?
