Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.

Hero dealt in ??: Ah Kx Qx Jx Th
Preflop:
(unknown action, but likely hero limps behind other players)
(4 players - ~40 in pot)
Flop: 5x Qc 3c
(all players check)
(4 players - ~40 in pot)
Turn: 5x Qc 3c Kc
Vil?: bets 40
Vil?: folds
Hero: folds
Vil?: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Unknown, but a limp seems find.
Flop: Standard.
Turn: This is likely a call instead of a fold. Hero made a mistake by folding. If hero closes action, hero likely has enough equity to call.
River Plan:
It is unlikely hero would bluff flush cards, but it could be possible.
If a board pairing (non-hero making full house card) or high flush card came on river, hero would likely check behind instead of turning hand into bluff.
If a non-flush low came on board that completes a straight draw (4/6, most A or 2), this could be a fold too.
Hero would likely check-call all low river cards that do not make a straight.

Hero dealt in But: Ac Kx 5c 4x Tx
Preflop:
(folds to hero)
Hero (But, ~650): raises to 15
Vil3 (BB, ~650): calls
(2 players - 32 in pot)
Flop: Kc Tc 8x
Vil3: bets 30
Hero: calls
(2 players - 92 in pot)
Turn: Kc Tc 8x Ax
Vil3: bets pot
Hero: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard
Flop: Standard.
Turn: This is a weird spot. A call could also work given stack sizes What is Vil3 betting two streets? Set(s)? Big combo draw? Turned straight?
Hero decides to let villain take pot as hero may or may not have best equity on the turn.
-------------
Interesting hand:
Preflop:
Vil2 (LP, 75) - raises to 15
Vil5 (SB, ~400) - calls
Vil6 (BB, ~500) - reraises to 60
Vil2: calls
Vil5: calls
(3 players - 180 in pot)
Flop: Jh Qd 7h
Vil5: checks (?)
Vil6: bets 180
Vil2: calls for less
Vil5: folds
No hands are shown and it's only run once.
Analysis:
Preflop: These smallish reraises are usually strong A2 hands (A[K|Q]/2/L] that are trying to isolate short stack. It's less likely to be AA2/AA3 since many villains will raise larger with these specific hands to isolate (and turn their hand face up).
