KoRnholio will become famous soon enough

1. bet-fold with no reads
2. Looks fine, at these stakes most people will make small bets with many types o hands, but will bet full pot when they have a boat.
3. Fastplay it, especially with UTG still in the pot. There are too many possible straight draws out there (any non-pairing card below a 9 makes a straight possible).

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

In hand 1 I go for a c/r which I rarely ever do and I call a push.

Hand 2, bet/fold the turn

Hand 3 pot-sized raise will do it

Hand 1: I have 45% equity vs AAxx. There is $20 in the pot after he raises and I have $20 left.

Does villain have AAxx here 99% of the time?

If you have a read that the villain is donkish/stacks off with AAxx a lot, then yes. Without that read, he often has a 5/99 and you are drawing fairly slim. Although at 25PLO, unknowns are much more likely to stack off with a bare AA on that board. In the games I am in, you are usually in quite bad shape if you get all in in spots like that.

I asked that question bad, but I think you answered it.

If I think villain has AAxx here 99% of the time is staking off on the flop good?

Like you said, we're just taking slightly the worst of it when we get all in against a bare AA here. With a little bit of dead money in the pot preflop, it turns out to be about an even gamble. The problem arises in that small-medium amount of the time when he has us in bad shape with something like AA5x or 5678.

gingerwizard is an unknown quantity at this point

Hand 1: We're getting it all in with a flush draw on a paired board without reads. Why?
Hand 2 looks good.
Hand 3: Obv we want it all in. I guess that means we'd like to bet around $12 on the river. So £3.50 on the flop and $7.50 on the turn. Obv these chunks can be gotten in earlier if you get raised. We play as if someone has hit middle or bottom set (or has weird something like AK and wants to play). (won't get paid off by wnything lse)

This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

Because I don't think people at Stars 25PL 3bet 99xx or 5678 type hands. Thus, at worst (for me) I think he has AAxx.

I think blind battles are different anywhere you choose to play. He 3-bets a fair amount here because you could be stealing and he'll have position.

He has 2 other cards. He could easily have a 5 or a 9 or even 99 or 95. Of these, the most likely is a 5.
