Here my 2 cents worth:

Hand 1: I am surprised button didn't push the river. Unless you have been known to him to check/call with TPTK his bluffing was bad IMHO. Would you have called a river push?

I called pf since I had raised the last few hands vs him, and knew he would eventually come back at me the next time I did it. I was pretty sure I had the best hand and could possibly have him dominated. Flop came good for as only AK/AA beat me and not too drawy either. I was intending to call a river bet as well.

Hand 2: Is that sexy coldcalling here with AA in position? Or was SB a push happy shortstack? But I understand you not wanting to blow CO out of the pot.

I think its fine if the 3better is known as a tight guy. If he's laggy you can definitly 4bet this hand more often, but in general it often means QQ+/AK. And yes it is sexy.


Hand 3: TT is right on the edge to take a stance here. If I push this turn is dependent on what my image is here. If you have been playing weakish against his 3-bets I like your line.

I like my line pf and flop. On turn I regret pushing here, this guy will never fold a J or better here, and if I just check he'll surely check behind 88 and 99. I dont see what else he could have here other than 88-99-Jx or set...c/f turn (not results oriented)


Hand 4: If its the first time you have been tangling against this regular in a big pot then I would lean towards a fold. However, isn't your 3-bet a little bit on the small side? OOP I like to make my 3-bets closer to 4x opening raise.


You're right I should of made it bigger, I usually make it 50$ for 15$ raises, 55-60 for 17-18$ raises and 65 for 20$ raise.

your comments are appreciated thx
