Toadstool will become famous soon enough
1) blind vs blind his range is extremel wide - pretty much a no-brainer call for me here, i dont want to raise and not get any more value out of weaker hands, plus I have position so dont mind playing postflop.
On the flop he would cbet every time. the fact that he just didnt really think about the amount he bet lead me to believe I had the best hand here. It was just standard bet every time - especially with the draws out there I just got the feeling he didnt really have a lot of interest in the hand.

On the turn, he wouldnt bet made hands less than Kx or 4x and it was a pretty small bet realtive to the pot which would be a mistake if he did have a good made hand as there are so many draws I could possibly have and he is giving me odds, therefore i think its more likely hes the one on a draw.

river comes an ace - hes definately not betting AsXs or a K for value here as I think he thought I had a draw and Q10 is a big part of my range - I thought - He would either have air or a FH here and possibly Q10. But with the weak feeling i got from the flop I thought air took up most of his range.
Anyway I called he had A4 for the full house.


2)Pretty easy decision here based on the fact he limp/called preflop I cant put him on 99/1010. 44 would raise at least on the turn to protect from JQ, cant really think of any hand he could have that had me beat.
He had KJ

3)On the turn there are 2 flush draws and a straight draw - C/C on that board and his range is so widely skewed towards draws with a couple of weak K's and Q's. he bets so small on the river after having shown no real strength - I think he folds almost all his hands here down to about K10 and his range is so wide he doesnt have better than K10 very often here.

4)I know he knows I dont really like to play big pots against good players, with the overbet AI makes me think he wants me to fold and he is semibluffing with AsXs or J10, anyway I got lucky as he had AQ wp him.

5)The one thing that really stood out to me on this hand was the very small C/R on the flop with so many draws out there he would want to protect a made hand a.k.a a set so can rule out made hands there, apart from maybe 45/56. continues to lead strongly when the ace comes - this gave me the impression he wanted me to fold what he believed to be my weak overpair on the flop. I raise him in and he calls with 10c9c and misses.
