thoughts on any or all streets, any or all hands, and (especially) thoughts on my thoughts are all welcome. my thoughts in-game are in spoilers.

1. UTG limps, Passive-ish 40 year old guy raises to 10. He's raised about as often as he's limped, putting him firmly among the top 3 most competent players at the table. 2 calls, Hero calls from the BTN with 6 6, UTG calls.

(pot 43) Flop 6 2 Q. x, Villain quickly bets 30. 2 folds, Hero calls, 1 fold

(pot 103) Turn K. V quickly bets 40. Call

(pot 183) River 3. V thinks for a few seconds and ships for 100. Hero?

Spoiler:
flatted flop so a blank could turn and I'd GII. After V bet turn got a bit of a bad feeling and pretty much called b/ "I have a set", not much more than that. V ships river and I think vast majority of times its one of AA KK QQ. "would he play AA like this" yea probably. AA=6 combos QQ+KK=6 combos. ha, a hand that's actually 50/50 i'll either win or I won't. Call


2. 4 limps. Hero in SB with 10 10. completes, BB x

(pot 12) Flop 3 K 10 Hero leads 7. 2 calls

(pot 33) Turn 6 Hero leads 20, fold, 60year old guy calls. this guys raises most frequently, seems like a decent players, only had I've seen him show down was set over set.

(pot 73) River 7 Hero thinks a few seconds, considers a bet, pulls it back and checks. Villain bets 50 very quickly. Hero?

Spoiler:
didn't raise pre because, even though I have the best hand, at least 3 of the limpers are calling, and its a 30% type "best hand". maybe I'm a coward but I considered going to 12 or 15 but thought "why bloat the pot OOP when 5/6 times you'll still have a pair of 10s".

"Yahtzee" on the flop, pay me money to draw. I figured one of them had the Ace, when a station folded the turn thought "couldn't be you, so the old guy (who called turn) has it".

river bricks, "I'll feign like I don't have the stomach to triple barrel the bare A, or have a pair of Kings and want to get to showdown. If you have the A you can bluff and I'll snap call". Hero snap calls.


3. new table, 1 fold, Hero UTG+1 QQ raises to 8. UTG+2 (younger guy, 25-30ish. limps alot, saw him raise 1 pot, c-bet and take it down. seems really hyper, talks a lot. old man raised a hand, c-bet 10 9 8 flop, got raised and folded showing A A, hyper kid remarked to me "I would have gone all-in" and I believed him. gives off the "recreational meth user" vibe more than "competent poker player") calls. 1 more call in position on Hero.

(pot 27) Flop J 8 2 Hero bets 15. hyper kid quickly raises to 40. fold, Hero calls

(pot 107) Turn 3 Hero x, hyper kid bets 35. Call

(pot 177) River A x hyper kid snap jams all in for 80. Hero?

Spoiler:
"I'm just clicking buttons, and now an Ace hit the river and I have no idea what to do."

Flop raise seemed...strange. I thought about it for a little while in game and it just didnt make any sense to me.

Turn bet I still felt I was good in-game so I called, but looking back after if I decided I was going to continue with the hand on the turn x/r'ing him all in>>>>>>flatting

Ace hit river and it felt like a bad card, but after I x'd and he jammed I couldn't think of a good reason why it significantly changed the hand. if he had AJ or A8? ok...but is he raising flop with that? A high flush draw? that makes more sense, might explain turn sizing.

In-game it just felt like he was randomly clicking buttons the entire hand so I clicked one back at him and called.

Hand #1 obviously call on river and consider raising turn

Hand #2 Bet bigger everywhere and I am raising this preflop even against limpers. Don't check river bet/fold it.

Hand #3 Bet bigger on flop. As played CR turn all in.

HH1: Flop is so dry, only 100bb stacks--I think this is a decent spot to slowplay. I like it.

HH2: Bet/fold the river. V is more likely to have a king than a busted draw.

HH3: V's weak turn sizing looks like a draw to me and I`m tempted to jam there. AP, meh. I probably fold OTR. If he is playing any two suited cards it´s probably a mistake to fold.

Hands 1 & 3 (as played) as long as you didn't fold OTR you didn't butcher the hands.

Hand 1 I would consider raising turn otherwise fine.

Hand 2 I find this a must raise situation. 20 seems about right. As played, without a soul-read I'm ok laying this down. We butchered the hand, now fold.

Edit:
Hand 1 - I'm sorry but I'm almost never folding a set at 1/2. This is not an exception.

Hand 3 - Pot odds.
