Hand 1


Villian is too loose. Very passive preflop but semi aggro post? Feel this is spewing.

Hand 5:

Other than the bad PFR you pointed out, everything seems pretty standard. You felt like you needed to take a stand with the 8Ts, which is fine, and you felt like you were playing decent enough players to just check the the A8 on a turn with no draw out, which is also fine. Guessing no one is commenting because there's not much to comment on.

In hand #1 kinda sucks to be out of position but I'd probably play it same as you.

Hand 1: Standard

Hand 2: I prefer leading out as well to 15 and trying to trap MP in the middle or get him to fold as he will be worried of button raising behind him. Turn is pretty weak but if button is an idiot he'll have a lower pocket pair here more often than AK or KQ I think. So I'd just put the rest of the button's money in.

Hand 3: If you have to take a stand this is a pretty good turn to do it, he may be worried about you having AQ or QK and hit and his top pair is no good anymore, and if he calls you still have your straight outs as well. I'm not big on taking stands but at least you're doing it with a good amount of outs.

Hand 4: Standard, this is probably AK, AA or QQ much more than KK. Just hope they weren't clubs.

Hand 5: Eh with two callers I don't mind a check fold, you do have top kicker though so I may have fired 15 on the turn, but check/folding is fine too.
