Been pretty breakeven the last few days so I just want to throw a few hands out here.

1)
He's pretty much an unknown.

UTG+1 ($66.60)
CO ($330.87)
Hero ($314.00)
SB ($198.00)
BB ($200.00)

Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is BTN King of Spades

UTG calls $2, 1 fold, CO calls $2, Hero raises to $11, 2 folds, UTG calls $9, CO folds

Flop: King of Clubs

($27, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $23, UTG raises to $56, Hero calls $33

Could be a 6, could be a FD, people like to bluff paired flops. Not sure if I can fold here.

Turn: Eight of Spades

($139, 2 players)
UTG bets $40, Hero raises to $247, UTG calls $206.85

The turn was the thing that got me really. I thought he was trying to see a cheap river with his small bet and with the size of the pot I can only really shove here. I think this hand is ok given the information I had at the time.

2)
This hand is from today and I played it terribly tbh. Really tilted me how bad I played. He just sat down but has been loose and active.

Flop: Five of Spades

($28, 3 players)
BB bets $28, 1 fold, Hero calls $28

I think this is ok, if he has a monster I have implieds on my GS and if he has nothing I can bluff the turn a good amount when he gives up.

Turn: Ace of Hearts

($84, 2 players)
BB bets $32, Hero calls $32
I can't really raise here because it's a pretty dangerous board, not sure if I'm ahead. His bet is weak though and I don't think folding is good. It's hard to know wtf he has though. I remember thinking I'll know on the river, if he leads he has it and he'll check if he doesn't.

River: Ten of Spades

($148, 2 players)
BB bets $148, Hero calls $148

Ya I play bad. I knew I was beat and made a fishy call.

3)
This one is just lol. Unknown.

Flop: Two of Diamonds

($90, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $18, Hero raises to $60, UTG+1 calls $42

I remember I got to this late and I didn't know wtf to do. I should just fold or raise bigger here, I just rushed in a number and the size sucked.

Turn: Five of Spades

($210, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $20, Hero calls $20

Outs.

River: Two of Spades

($250, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $30, Hero calls $30

Wtf? Flush draws missed, odds.

Overall the big mistake is the flop. I should have just made it $110 and called a shove. Gay mistake. Preflop is possibly bad too, I don't remember his stats atm.

There's a bunch of other smaller gay spots in my database that I had. I'm not playing so good at the moment I guess but in fairness theres tons of weird spots arising. Will play better in future.

Also ship the third page.

Clicked it back yo. Guy tries to be TAG, I was running him over and he had just started trying to play back. I think the fact that there is dead money pf is important here.

Yep.

Flop: Four of Hearts

($102.5, 4 players)
Hero bets $73, 2 folds, CO calls $73

Fine I think. Obviously I'm calling if any of the shorties push.

Turn: King of Diamonds

($248.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $195, CO calls $195

Fine as well. I sized the bet so I could shove the river if I wanted to. His range has a ton of draws and some pairs. I'm assuming he'd raise his monsters on the flop but because he's so passive you never know.

River: Queen of Spades

($638.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $395, CO calls $361.85

The river was where my main problem was. FD missed, 67 missed, JT got there. I'm not so sure if he'll call an AI here with A9 or worse, it's hard to tell. I don't think c/c is good because he's so passive, I'm not so confident that he would bluff his missed FD if thats what he had. c/f is tight but I feel it's the best line actually. Would love some comments on this river please?

Hand 2)
Villain is super aggressive 33/18/4.2 with an aggression frequency of 38. My agg. frequency is about 33.5 and I think I'm reasonably aggressive.

I played the hand like this basically because of his high aggression, I figured he could be bluffing or semi-bluffing hearts or something. I'm not so sure now though. Best I can do for a range is

Villain is 40/7/1 and folds to cbets 44% of the time.

Pre-flop: ($7.5, 5 players) Hero is BTN Queen of Hearts

UTG calls $5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $27, 2 folds, UTG calls $22

This but still I think it's ok. I need to be isolating this guy as often as possible.

Flop: Jack of Clubs

($61.5, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $41, UTG calls $41

Yep. He doesn't fold to cbets often but this is a pretty dry flop. I think he'll call with any J, K, OESD and gutshot.

Turn: Four of Hearts

($143.5, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $90, UTG calls $90

Here he probably folds all his gutshots and Jacks. I should have bet a bit bigger actually more like $110 because then I have a nicer sized bet for the river.

He folds: +$143.5
He calls:
I'm assuming we win a further $150 on the river when we hit our draws
I'm also assuming we never get raised on the turn which isn't true
0.75*(-90)=-$67.5
0.25*(143+90+150)=+$95.75
95.75-67.5= $28.25

So lets say he check/raises us 10% of the time on the turn (remember he's passive)

0EV= X*($143) + (1-X)*($28.25) + 0.1*(-$90)

Maybe I missed something up here but I think this is telling me that even if he never folds the turn then this bet is +EV. Not sure if that make s a ton of sense though.

River: Ace of Spades

($323.5, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

The river is a good bluff shoving card for me but thinking about it now I don't think this guy will fold a paired king once he got this far so I think my check back is good.

guess u posted it cuz you gotta bet the riv?

I agree fwiw

Yeah I was thinking that. What if I tell you that he was a bit stationy like 40/6/passive? I'm not really sure about the turn bet either.

Villain is a good TAG regular 23/18/4.25 He calls 3bets 30% of the time. I don't know much about his post flop play in 3bet pots.

I think this sucks myself. I don't have a read that he will float in 3bet pots and even if I think he'll call the flop w JJ-99 and fold the turn then he's still going to have AA/KK and some queens too often for it to be a good push.

If his raising range is ~18% preflop then his RR calling range is going to be something like 99-AA, AQ+, KQs. Bad range for me to be shoving into. Of that range he's only going to be folding 99-JJ on the flop (probably) and AK (which he'll even be shoving some of the time), that's 50% of the range. So the flop cbet is probably marginal good and the turn shove is a spew.

Hero bets $115, UTG+1 calls $115

Turn: Six of Hearts

($395, 2 players)

in the non-3 barrel hand I'd probably avoid 3-barrelling (as a bluff) every card except for the ace cuz even the passive stations get all scurrrred when the A hits.
