Hand 1 Villain is a good TAG, I'm playing tight. What do you do different?

Hand 3 Villain limps way too much and often check/folds flops. Overall bad imo. I don't know how he got his monster stack. I absolutely hate how I played this hand.

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Hand 1: I check that flop a fair % of the time. You shouldn't be excited about playing big bet chicken out of position with a lukewarm hand against a good player who figures to have a pretty good hand. Then again, that really depends on what we think is "good."
Hand 2: I'm all-in.
Hand 3: Turn bet back-fired. Given what you've said about him so far, I'm leaning towards a river fold.

I notice you sat to my left at one of the NL100 tables today. Sorry no donations to you on this day.

Hand 1 I don't know. I am horrible at these situations
Hand 2 I actually lean towards fold. SB strong-donks into a multiway pot -- either he's a donkey or he's got a monster. BB calling is also scary, and there are 2 other people behind you yet to act
Hand 3 definitely check behind turn

Can't say I didn't try.

Also Fnord, why check the flop in hand 1 after raising UTG? Why not represent the overpair?

Blocking bets don't fly after a c/c on the turn.
Hand 2: This looks like a good spot to stick it in and expect one to call my AI.

Stakes: Playing $0.10/$0.25 NL

Sorry to sound mean but this is terribly weak-tight.

Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

I don't disagree. But playing one pair in multiway pots successfully require lots of read. Since we don't have that I suggest we wait for a better spot

I think I'll create a thread on my weak-tight folds.
