This hand is just me being spewy, I believe, but what's your take on 3barrelling AK high... or is this a c/f on the flop... I think another mistake I made was the half pot turn bet, yes?

First hand I need a read to fold, and I would also like a read in order to ship with overs.
Second Hand you got sucked out on. Im Sorry.
Third hand is spew. Give up after the flop.

that's the thing, I didn't have any PT3 stats on these guys, so I automatically assume they're gonna donk off sooner or later, and against ATC, I liked KK. (one time ATC = set, one time ATC = 2nd pair.) Gotta love $10NL.

I don't see any reason to c/r the flop in hand one. Just lead for like...80 cents or something. I suppose we can call given the # of top pair hands, smaller OPs and draws we'll see, but I think it's marginal.

Hand 2 is fine, except I make it .80 preflop.

In hand 3, this turn is like..the worst card to barrel, imo. 9T gets there and if villain has a draw, it's probably a strongish one that he isn't folding. I also don't think he's b/fing this particular flop all that often. We could peel one, but I think folding is probably better.
