1) Button opens $20. I 3 bet Td8d to $65 in the SB. He calls.
Flop ($135) AdKh7d. I bet $50. He calls.
Turn ($235) 6s. I check. He bets $100. Meh.....I tank/call because I know I will get paid off if I hit.
River ($435) Qs. X/X... He has 88. Really?
2) EP limps. I raise $25 KcQc in MP. Cutoff, BB and the limper call.
Flop ($100) Qd7h7s. Checked to me. I check. Cutoff bets $75. BB calls. Limper folds. I went into the tank here. There are no draws. Do all 3 of us have a Q? I doubt it. My gut told me that the BB had a 7. But I could get myself to fold. I call.
Turn ($325) Qs. BB checks and looks like hes in pain. I check. Cutoff bets $75 again. BB calls again. OK, Im pretty sure they dont both have a Q now. I call again.
River ($550) Ks. BB checks with $300ish behind. Cutoff has about $185. I cover. I think the cutoff has a Q and the BB has a 7, but just in case its the reverse order and the cutoff is going to check behind, I shoved all in. Cutoff called and BB mucked.
Cutoff had AQ. BB showed a 7. WOW! What a nice runout for me!! My instinct to fold the flop was correct, but obviously Im glad I didnt.
3) I open to $20 OTB 5c3c. BB calls.
Flop ($40) 4c2c3s. BB checks. I check back
Turn ($40) 6c. He checks. I bet $20. He folds. I win the $400 high hand.
4) I open to $20 QcQs from early MP. A fish OTB calls. The SB 3 bets to $85.
SB is a very good and very tricky player. He is capable of absolutely anything and I fully expect him to have a massively wide range here. He has seen me open extremely wide many times. I call and we go HU
Flop ($195) 9s8s3c. He bets $130 with $290 behind. I really want to just shove all in here, but I decided to call and call just about every turn.
Turn ($455) Ac. Well aint that a *****? He shoves $290. Im probably supposed to fold here, but as I said, this guy is capable of anything. Im just not folding. I call
River ($1035) Ks. I couldnt hate that river card much more than I do....but he shows QhTh and MHIG.
5) 4 limps. I limp As2s OTB. The SB raises to $25 and everybody calls.
Flop ($155) Tc9s8s. SB shoves $100. MP1 calls with $500ish behind. MP2 shoves all in for $420. It folds to me. Into the tank I go again. I need 35% equity assuming MP1 folds. Its pretty close but if MP2 has a set, I dont have the equity I need, to call. If he has something like JT folding would be bad. **** it. I call. MP1 folds
Turn ($1195) 5s
River ($1195) 6d.
MP2 shows 88 and Im a luckbox.
1) looks fine
2) snap fold, dry flop and strong sizing and SB calling first after the CO I'm thinking I'm never good with KQ unless up against pure droolers
3) n bink
4) your assessment of v is very out of whack imo.
5) gut says to fold here but...YOLO? This is pretty bad IMO.
