Well, I started doing the NL50 thing yesterday, got 1,300 hands in at an extremely impressive 2.05PTBB/100 lol, a few key hands caused most of my pain. Tell me how you play these.

At the time of this hand I didn't think it through well enough, I thought that an average player wouldn't push a set right away, but afterwards I realized that the board was pretty draw heavy and there was a caller in between so I would be wanting to get all my chips in with a set as quickly as possible too. So do you lay down the kings here?

Not really sure how I thought I could be ahead here except tha the 50 cent bet on the turn confused the hell out of me, by the river I'm getting around 3-1 on my money, the only problem being, I'm not sure what it is that I actually beat here. Going back to the turn...I feel like I have to raise this here, if he's drawing at some ludicrous gutshot, I can't allow him to take one off for 50 cents, I think the worst river card possible fell here.

Obviously, I wasn't happy about the turn raise but at this point I felt like Kings and Spades would do it for me which would be just about right to draw based on pot odds let alone implied odds. On the river, I can't feel like I'm ahead but can I really fold for $5 into $55? I was highly amused by the showdown on this one, that's all I can really say.

not looking at kent's above advice (im' too easily confused_

Hand1
I would lean toward folding just because of the man in the middle. You've got a cold call and a reraise on a very scary board. Even if you are ahead now you may be an underdog to big draws. Just let it go and wait for the better spot.

Hand2

Raise that AJ!!!! please please raise tha AJ. I know AJ is a weaker hand, but with position and limpers you must protect.

Hand3

Just fold it to the raise on the turn. Mini raises are really strong. True you did have a lot of outs and may even have had odds, but there was also a strong possibilty you were drawing completely dead.
