I know the first thing I'm doing is looking left.
UTG limps and folded to me. Let's assume button is not telegraphing.

I'm thinking AKs and QQ+ and that's it. I don't like AKo because it's hard for the villains to make second-best hands that can pay us off (bad implied odds). AKs is a little better because if it makes a miracle flush lower flushes and straights can call.
This all seems like terrible poker thinking

what is the bottom of your range here?

I think 66+ seems about right. I need some play ability since the button is gonna call so often.

89s seems right. Im not raising 56s. 76s?

A5s feels right to me.

A7o just doesn't feel right. I can't imagine folding A8o though. I guess A7o can't be bad.

I'd probably play 44, any Axs, A6o, 97s. Don't think I'd raise 67s. I feel the extra high card strength is worth more than the connectedness. And aces are so strong, because they will put us ahead of so much of limpers range and allow us to show down and realize equity on a lot of textures. I mean I'd be tempted even with the offsuit wheel aces but would probably fold.

I feel like I'm not doing well in these situations. It's possible I'm misplayng the hands post flop. In this exact scenario quite often I end up OOP in a 3 way and sometimes 4 or 5 way pot with a guy to my right who likes to Donk a fair amount. If UTG's donk was honest every time I wouldn't mind this so much since I'd be getting free info.

I have about the same range as you, however, I'm starting to question the profitability of it.

I don't think we realize our equity as often as you think given the loose/sticky player behind us and the donker to the right.

Online $1/$2 6-max. A 60/17 over 111 hands raises HJ. We are in CO with AJo. Villain has 4-bet 6 of the 7 times he's had the opportunity. Villain has triple-barreled as the PFR every time he's had the opportunity. As the non-aggressor he's shown he's very sticky postflop.

Without tl;dr-ing this, if I 3-bet this guy and successfully get him heads up (which, by the way, is not guaranteed as both SB and BB at this table have shown willingness to cold-call), we're going to showdown.

As tight as this villain is, AJo seems about even money against his range, plus I have position, plus we have dead money from the blinds.

Am I 3-betting here and showing down ace high unimproved against all but the most ridiculous boards and action?

You have a pretty good hand that's ahead of the range of a pretty bad player. 3 bet and like it.

MP2...He is a winning player, not a super star, opens pretty wide. He can have hands like KTo, 44's etc.

The BB is a fairly loose Reg, will take two to the face with most of his suited hands, all pairs, broadways, most Ax. Plays straight forward post. Chases.

We are in the SB with AJo, KJo, A9s, QTs, 66.

MP2 opens, folded to us...What do we do with each of these?

Do things change if BB is tight pre?

This is not a recommendation but just how I normally play under the described circumstances from the SB.

AJo, A9s 3!
KJo QTs 66 fold.

20/40 half kill is on

killer in CO acts last unless there is a raise. He is loose passive

Love passive HJ open limps, I am Next on the button with KTo. The blinds are tight.

Are you guys raising K9o here?

I'd raise K9o, maybe even K8o. I'd fold K7o.

I don't raise K7o 3handed OTB. It would be even a worse raise with one extra blind player. Now even worse since there's even one more additional player playing a non-random range.

I'd reason K8o is easy fold, K9o borderline fold.

Unknown MP open limps. The Blinds are both loose and passive. What do you do with these hands on the button?

33
56s
A4o
JTo

33
56s
A4o
JTo
Limp along with 33 and 56s
Raise JTo to get the blinds out and just deal with MP...

In all honesty I think I would really just fold and move on to next hand.

Seem like that these would be the correct plays... I'm just having a difficult time understanding why....

Look forward to the replies

I would fold the 33 and 56s and raise the JTo and A4o. I think limping the first 2 hands may have some merit also. If you lose money limping them, I don't think it's much. Add another limper and I'd definitely over limp them.

Why fold K7o OTB?

Hand from latest session 01/05

Commerce $4/$8

Probably a pretty standard hand... I do run into these types of situations and wanted to post to make sure I'm on the right track.

Think I got most of the play sequence correct.

HERO in SB with AhJh

UTG open raise
UTG+1 CALL
MP CALL
HJ CALL
CO CALL
BTN CALL
HERO I 3BET RAISE

BB CALL
UTG 4BET
UTG+1 CALL
MP CALL
HJ CALL
CO CALL
HERO I CALL

This is a huge freaking pot and the flop hasn't even come out yet

FLOP Td7d3d

HERO CHECK
BB BET
UTG CALL
UTG+1 FOLD
MP CALL
HJ CALL
CO CALL
BTN CALL

HERO? I FOLD

My thinking here is:
1. I've just totally missed the FLOP
2. Betting is not going to push anyone off, the main reason is this is a HUGE pot, anyone with Diamonds is staying in, BLUFFING I can't see as even having a remote chance of succeeding.
3. Even if I catch an A or J I'm looking at being dominated.
4. FOLD here is the best play...

Is there anything I could do differently?

Look forward to the replies.
