Hand #1

Three limpers to MP who raises, button calls and I 3-bet from the BB with . ALL the limpers call, MP caps it and everyone calls so 7 players cap it preflop.

Flop (28sb)

SB checks, I check and it is checked to MP who bets. Button calls and I raise. 5 people including MP calls.

I decided to go for the check/raise to force the 3 limpers between me and the MP to face two bets cold.

Turn (19bb)

SB checks, I bet and get 4 callers.

River (24bb)

SB checks, I bet, folded to one of the cold-calling limpers who now raises, folded to me. I call.

I actually considered folding this river because it seemed obvious my opponent had hit a running flush. I also considered checking it but in the end I settled on bet/calling seeing as how I will still get called by a huge amount of inferior hands so I lose money by checking, and in such a huge pot I can't fold to a raise getting 25:1 on my money.



Hand #2

I've got in MP. UTG and UTG+2 limps, I raise and get three callers, the two limpers and a guy behind me.

Flop comes

UTG bets, UTG+2 calls, I raise, LP folds and the bettor and caller calls.

Turn
UTG checks, UTG+2 now betsm I raise and both call.

River
Both check to me, I bet.

-------------------

I don't normally play FL but I decided to give it a shot when I couldn't get any other good tables. I've read a few books on it but mainly play NL, SnG's, PLO and PLO8.

i think you played these just fine. the C r on the flop on hand one was very well executed

Thanks for the feedback.

Hand #1 I can't really fault him for his play post flop but he did call a capped preflop with . I'm mainly concerned about my river play but I guess bet/call is valid for the mentioned reasons.

Hand #2 both called and mucked. I felt I played it border line overaggressive. UTG+2 is repping a big hand.
