Hand 1: SB is kinda crazy and a horrible poker player. Preflop he will call with 60% of hands regardless of position. I've seen him get involved in a lot of big pots where he took the lower end of a cooler often times, we once had a hand where I had AdQh and flop came Qd6dd2d and we went all in to show me 8d9d.
His stats are 60/24/2...

BB is unknown.

Everest No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Everest Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (Button) ($20.59)
SB ($9.65)
UTG ($14.94)
MP ($23.47)

Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.35, SB calls $0.30, UTG calls $0.25

I think 9Jo is a good hand to steal with so I open my BU. get called by those two donks.

Flop: ($1.05) , , (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.80, SB calls $0.80, 1 fold

Flop comes gin for me, top 2 pair, I'm willing to go all in on this flop any day. I cbet and get called.

Turn: ($2.65) (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.50, SB raises to $3

The Q is probably the worst card that could come and he check minraises which I read as extreme strength since he already shown down a hand where he check/minraise to show trips... WTF!!!

Hero???


Hand 2: This is all preflop action. Now I'm definitely not gonna fold, I'm just wonderring whether I should 3bet this or just call.

CO is a fish, after only 15 hands he is running at 80/0/1, and I haven't seen him raise yet so I think he has a big hand here (although I definitely can't be sure). Button is actually the same villain as in hand 1.

Everest No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) - Everest Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (BB) ($14.56)
UTG ($35.60)
MP ($17.48)
Button ($6.26)
SB ($17.06)

Preflop: Hero is BB with ,
1 fold, MP raises to $0.35, Button calls $0.35, 1 fold,

Hero: ???

kmind is on a distinguished road
 1. I'd call the turn bet because he can still have QT or like QsXs. I call most bets on river unless it is an 8/T/K/Q and spades are iffy. Even if the river comes a J I think I'd just flat a biggish raise and raise only he bets weak.

2. I mean if you had more hands on him I'd just fold. That said, I probably just flat here but I think any option is reasonable. Pros for flatting are that we can rarely dominate MP but dominate the button a ton. So we'd really want to play a bigger pot vs. the button if we flopped a pair here.

Vinland is an unknown quantity at this point
 1st hand ;
Do you think he would have just called PF with pocket queens? With his stats like that you almost have to call. If you run into a set then thats just bad luck. But thats my opinion.

2nd hand:
Short table, I think you reraise to see where you stand.

hand 1: lol not at all
The hands he continues with on the flop which now beat me are
8T, KT, Q9, QJ, QQ not to mention he could've had me beat all along on the flop (but in this case I'm certainly getting my money in)
I've seen him minraise before, and he's only done it with 2P+, he plays draws passively until he gets there and all of a sudden starts to show aggressivity.

If I'm reraising, I'm doing it because I'm confident AQo is ahead of both of their rangers.
