1.) the hand right before this one i took a huge pot off villain. i'm sure that i'm ahead preflop, but i doubt villain has any intentions of folding if i 4b, i'm almost certainly facing overcards on the flop, and i'm oop 300bbs deep. that being said, should i still have 4b here and been willing to play a huge pot here, simply on the possibility that villain might be tilting badly? [fyi: he hasn't been playing that aggro to this point in the session, but who knows, tilt does strange things to people.] and what if i had .. say .. pocket 6s instead?

MRMILWAUKEE calls $0.50, RAGNAROKR folds, Hero raises to $2.50, MRMILWAUKEE raises to $5, Hero calls $2.50

2.) about 10 mins later, i play this hand, vs the same villain:
i have position, so i opt to simply call the 3b, but is it 'standard' to raise here, esp. since stacks are deep? what the hell do i do if i get 4b? sure, i might be ahead, but this deep, even if i flop an ace or a king, i'm going to hate life if i get any action whatsoever.

Need info on villain

Calling pre seems fine being deep. I'm not sure what you're hoping to accomplish with a flop raise, you aren't folding out an overpair, just another AK or maybe AQ depending on the villain. After we turn tptk we are pretty much committed to calling villain down but I'm not crazy about it, mostly calling down for the chop (although why he flats AK on that flop makes no sense). River shove just seems really spewy to me, the only hand you get value from is worse Ax, do AQ/AJ make sense given his line? If he has KK or worse he isn't calling and we own ourselves against a set.

hand 1 is fine.

hand 2 is fine as well, but dont raise flop. There's really no reason to do so. Just flat.

Hand 1 is ez call pf.

Hand 2 dunno why you raised flop. You think he calls with AQ/KQ? Turn you have to raise, you get your miracle card so raise it up. Shove river obv.

1 is good.

hand 2: flatting AK is definitely fine. But 3 handed i like a 4 bet, because there is def. value in it and villain will call with worse hands.

as palyed there is no need to raise the flop. there is a good chance our hand is still good anyway.
i like call turn shove river line.

1) his bet sizing sucks bigtime
2) he flatted the Flop raise and donked Turn WTF

hand 1: i play it the same

hand 2: 1pair 200bb+ deep rly depends on the board/action and reads when i go for the full stack and mainly if villian will stack off with weaker 1 pair too, some get rly nitty deep.

I defn don't raise the flop. I probably raise small on turn and get rest in on the river. River isn't best card and the turn ace isn't super gr8 as it makes some 2 pair hands like a8 a7 he may donk that way. Some read on what his 1/3 pot bets mean woudl be rly helpful too, as sometimes they'e fish vbets or blockers with say QQ here.

As played anyone make a small river raise to induce( i just think he's got slightly weakish range that fold to a river shove) or just flat the river?
