hand one, i dont normally raise weak suited aces from sb anymore. but, i do every so often to mix things up (which is overrated down here and why i virtually cut it completely out). but, is there value in a pot like this when we know villains cant fold and will pay off? or, is the pot just too small to make it profitable being 6max and 3-handed?

hand two was UBER FUN!! i dont 3bet button steals this light, but i felt i only needed to pair the flop or pick up a draw since he had been raising very liberally from lp and, figured i could take it down on the flop w/ a simple donk bet (had worked twice already). i felt the K would raise my donk lead, but when it didnt, i still wanted to check/call the turn. but, when i picked up the draws, i had to fire again, and call a potential raise. once, i wasnt raised, i knew the K wasnt in there. i wanted to c/c river, but i thought of spenda's "when in doubt fire." honestly, i usually will fire here HU, but i dont enjoy it...lol.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

hand 1.
there is certainly value there, but u need to let go and c/fold bad flops since u are oop.
Your hand (suited with hi card strength) has pretty decent equity PF, will hit many boards, and will welcome a bigger pot when flopping draws.

hand2.
wouldnt recommend 3betting those kind of hands oop.
It is nice to play some for misdirection, but always in position. e.g. 3bet CO raise from BTN
Post flop is good, u are the aggressor, if he dont raise u, u have a pair and no read he will bluff, FIRE!

For the right to be governed, waste them without mercy.

the part in bold is where i grow impatient with you. your opinions are as welcome as anyone's, but the name calling is simply juvenile.

oh, and 3betting light in LHE, especially 6max, has TREMENDOUS value when used appropriately against the right villains. the very fact you said that tells me where to put this opinion of yours.

Hand one, why not bet the turn?

Hand 2. 3bet PF.. No sir.. don't like it. The problem with limit, is when you put your money in bad, it's nearly catastrophic, because it takes so long to earn it back.
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

Both of these hands look pretty good to me. The preflop raises in each hand aren't standard but they're not terrible once in awhile. After that the hands look good.
