 That's right folks I'm moving up to 25nl. started 4 tabling to get used to the amounts etc...

One orbit in, villain is 9/9 over 11 hands

Hand 1:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($5.45)
BB ($5)
UTG ($25)
UTG+1 ($25.40)
MP1 ($28)
MP2 ($23.65)
Hero (MP3) ($31.65)
CO ($15.90)
Button ($33.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K, A
UTG bets $1, 3 folds, Hero calls $1, 4 folds

Flop: ($2.35) 9, A, 4 (2 players)
UTG bets $1.50, Hero ???

I'm thinking that he can be making this bet with the following range:

99+, AK, AQ, (I don't think 44 is likely since he raised it UTG)

Since I have the nut flush draw, I think it is unlikely he will continue to a raise unless he has a set or an ace, or possibly the Q of spades.

If I raise, he likely repumps it with his sets and calls with AK, AQ (if the Q is a spade) and dumps 10-10 and JJ and QQ unless the Q is a spade.

I still have ~62% equity vs his continuing range if I raise, That said should I be raising in this spot, and if so how much?

Hand #2

villain is 15/8 over 300, bets his good hands and is pretty straight forward from what I have seen

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($5.35)
SB ($4.75)
BB ($25)
UTG ($25.40)
UTG+1 ($28)
MP1 ($23.65)
Hero (MP2) ($34.25)
MP3 ($15.90)
CO ($33.90)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K, K
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, Hero bets $1.50, 1 fold, CO calls $1.50, 3 folds, MP1 calls $1.25

Flop: ($4.85) J, 7, 6 (3 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $3.50, CO calls $3.50, 1 fold

Turn: ($11.85) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $7.50, CO calls $7.50

River: ($26.85) 8 (2 players)
Hero???

First off, hows the sizing? looking back I think I should have bet turn harder to set up an easier river shove...

The thing is I don't think he has a 10 in his range too often, I mean this could be 10-10 (I don't think he calls a raise with j-10 but it's possible I guess)

I was actually having trouble assigning him a range, and wasn't sure what to do on the river. I entertained the notion of a small blocker bet but then found it a little ridiculous since b/f 'ing sucks. But c/c'ing sucks too. and so does b/c'ing I think... So which option sucks the least?

Hand 1 raise, you worked out that you have 62% equity against his continuing range on a board where a lot of turns kill your action+a lot of his range is giving up if you call the flop anyway, what's the question?

Hand 2 if he's really that straightforward i don't see anything wrong with c/f, he's never turning a made hand into a bluff and there isn't really a draw he could have that doesn't beat you now.

I guess I was just wondering what to do if I raise and he shoves.

If he reraises I initially thought his range is just so strong but I guess he could do it with not only AA and 99 but A-Q with the Q of spades as well.

Actually the more I think about it he may even spazz out with AK/AQ no spade and shove or something if I raise...

I pokerstoved this before I asked and found that I only have 29% equity if he shoves AA or 99, but if we can put any of these other hands in his shoving range than it becomes a super standard call off.
