This is an early 3-bet pot, and villain basically minraised me. Is shoving here too light? Does he really have JJ+ that often? I don't know--it's TP in a 3-bet pot, but I've been running really bad recently.

Villain is pretty fishy and has coolered me a ton. Do I shove turn here? As played, call river? My reasoning was I wanted to give him rope to bluff, but then the worst river in the world came (as it seems to do recently).

Villain is a reg who seems to c/c fairly lightly. Is this value bet too thin?

Villain is solid reg who I have been 3-betting literally. Usually when I check, he'll bet because he thinks I gave up. Is this line standard? Fold turn? If so, are we calling flop then? I didn't lead flop because I wanted to mix up my lines.

Villain had not been TOO out of line, but I felt like he was making a move here. My plan when I flatted flop was to raise a non-heart turn, because I feel like his range is either 67, flush draw, MAYBE 88 but I feel like he'd 3-bet 88+ for sure. Would you say this is too light?

hand1: I think its pretty close but likely alright hoping that he'll be full of it a lot and fold a solid %. Problem is there's a lot of dominated T's etc.

hand2:I fold riv

hand3: looks way way way too thin

4: I probably fold turn but c/cing really lets him put you in awful spots by firing, but I think it's fairly unlikely he'll keep bluffing, so its ok.

5:I think its alright he has a **** ton of draws in his range

hand one is good.

hand two is a fold on the turn I think. Definitely without question the river.

hand three far too thin. I'd want A8 probably.

Hand 4, given history, is ok I think. Obv hand plays itself on the river, but if that's your read go with it imo.

Hand 5 is alright. I'd want some history of him c/r'ing before making this play, but I think against a person of normal HU aggression at 2/4 this is perfectly standard.

Didn't look at replies first since wanted to see how I'd do, my response might be far off the mark.

Hand 1: Similar to a hand I just posted. Over there people seem to mostly be good with getting it in, and this spot is quite similar, so I guess get it in.

Hand 2: I always cram the turn here, a ton of rivers that'll make me second guess myself/etc, plus there is a lot he can call on.

Hand 3: Seems like the kind of spot where you playing the guy would have a better idea. That said, at this point it seems hard to pinpoint a hand he can call with that you beat unless you have been really aggro/spew. With a larger kicker I dig it.

Hand 4: If I call turn I certainly don't fold river. I think mixing up lines is fine. I fold turn a fair bit.

Hand 5: This draw heavy against a fairly aggro player I think this can be fine.

1- i like never fold top pair in reriased pots i play the same

2-his line ck cal ck raise especially by fishy players is like always a flush fold turn

3- i like it ...maybe bet a little smaller like half pot to get paid off weak but wtf he got here, ur read says he ck call light

4- this is the problem that happen when ck calling the flop with less then top pair ,the regs can balence bluffs and value here good,you hand is so definded to him as less then top pair on turn, i would c bet flop ,as played i fold turn

5- fine

i like these 5 hand posts
i might make one
