First hand, btn is well, the type of player you like at your table. Anyways,

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (SB) ($1.72)
BB ($2.78)
UTG ($4.21)
UTG+1 ($1.02)
MP1 ($6.18)
MP2 ($0.95)
MP3 ($4.66)
CO ($1.52)
Button ($8.75)

Preflop: Hero is SB with

3 folds, MP2 calls $0.02, MP3 calls $0.02, 1 fold, Button calls $0.02, Hero bets $0.12, 3 folds, Button calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.30)

(2 players)
Hero bets $0.20, Button calls $0.20

Turn: ($0.70)

(2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $0.56, Hero folds

Total pot: $0.70 | Rake: $0

He has limped AK utg and bet 5xbb with KQ in mp. I am mixed on what he has, but he probably hit something given the board. Against preflop range I guess I have about 45% equity, but that is not adjusted for the board, more likely I have about 35-40%.

2nd hand,

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (Button) ($1.91)
SB ($5.28)
BB ($5.05)
UTG ($1.14)
UTG+1 ($2.35)
MP1 ($0.92)
MP2 ($4.55)
MP3 ($0.36)
CO ($7.53)

Preflop: Hero is Button with

4 folds, MP3 bets $0.36 (All-In), CO calls $0.36, Hero raises to $1.91 (All-In), 2 folds, CO calls $1.55

Flop: ($4.21)

(3 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: ($4.21)

(3 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($4.21)

(3 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $4.21 | Rake: $0.20

MP3 is on tilt, CO is BTN from the last hand, and I can't pass this opportunity. The question I have for this hand is; if CO raises to isolate do we get in here or not?

3rd hand,

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (UTG+1) ($4.37)
MP1 ($1.04)
MP2 ($2.01)
MP3 ($5.23)
CO ($1.36)
Button ($4.83)
SB ($5.36)
BB ($3.14)
UTG ($2.01)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with

UTG calls $0.02, Hero bets $0.10, 7 folds, UTG calls $0.08

Flop: ($0.23)

(2 players)
UTG bets $0.12, Hero calls $0.12

Turn: ($0.47)

(2 players)
UTG bets $1.79 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: $0.47 | Rake: $0

I think I really messed up the flop here, I think I should be raising his donk bet, but... Anyways lay down on the turn, and I always have to ask if I did the right thing when laying down A's.

4th hand,

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (MP3) ($4.12)
CO ($1)
Button ($1.79)
SB ($5.88)
BB ($1.16)
UTG ($4.83)
UTG+1 ($5.38)
MP1 ($3.11)
MP2 ($2.08)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with

UTG calls $0.02, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.02, Hero bets $0.12, 5 folds, MP2 calls $0.10

Flop: ($0.29)

(2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets $0.25, MP2 raises to $0.50, Hero calls $0.25

Turn: ($1.29)

(2 players)
MP2 bets $1.46 (All-In), Hero calls $1.46

River: ($4.21)

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $4.21 | Rake: $0.20

Against the same guy as the last AA hand. My guess is that he got me to fold my AA about 5 hands prior, he is just trying to do it again. Should I have walked away from this one?

all of these hands are kind of boring
so I'll just comment on your thinking: don't call just because someone made you fold aces when you were beat a few hands ago

that said, I wouldn't fold either because your hand is pretty strong on a really drawy board

I will try to post some more interesting hands in the future, but to be honest most of the hands I play in are pretty boring.
