what percentage of the time did these villains semi-bluff or bet worse hands for value ? Sometimes, i have real problem handling these murky situations when my opponents could hold a wide range of hands, some better and some worse.

1) I agree. Villian shows up with KTo here just as much as J9.
2) I like a raise on the turn also, so you can realistically fold to a push there. As played it looks like a call to me. It doesn't look like he wants you to call...
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

hand 1: Do you really think we have big edge on this flop with 2 players yet to act behind?

in this type of multiway pot the only play they have is to chk/shv. how does akdd and 77+not get it in here? when you just shove over it looks like your on the diamond draw and are trying to buy the pot so there are definitly worse hands calling you so why not shove

I didn't look at your specific hands (I am at work and can't absorb them now), but had a general comment that hit me regarding your table selection. How are you selecting your seat? Your hand histories always have you in tough spots with deep stacked tags. I hope it is because your confident in your other plays and don't need advise for most hands, but otherwise, you are regularly selecting seats that are putting you in very tough situations with tight regulars.

Just a thought...

I dont usually get a choice of a couple seats at the table. However, i try to have position on deep stacks and loose players. Of course, i avoid those tables with a VP$IP of below 20 and small pot size or full of 10-30BB stacks. In general, i dont think i have many tough spots with deep stack Tags cuz i either fold to their raise in the middle or just float/bluff them off the hand without showdown

i think its a good line given his small 3 bet size. Unfortunately, i didnt even notice it when multitabling in the heat of the moment.

I never fold the nuts and certainly don't fold strong hands to aggressive and retarded players.

villian did shove on very scary turn, i tanked and folded it. My original plan was insta shove when checked to or just push over his bet on any good-looking turn..

i only have less than PSB left behind after bloated flop. If villian shows any kinda weakness on safe turn, i'm not going anywhere and bet for value. As played, i folded my AA cuz turn card was another T. :P
its a no-brainer fold IMO, folks.
