1) fine. I don't like a cbet cos utg has 99-AA too much (QQ a lot) and you don't know what BU is capable of.

2) What do you mean you tried to define his range? Bet for value! Looks fine, I'd be more inclined to ship it in if the A-high FD was a possibility.

3) Do not like unless he calls too many 3bets oop cos you're turning ak into a bluff here too much.

4) Bet flop for value.

i probably throw out a bet just in case it works in hand 1.

i hate hand 2. He never has a worse A, or a flush draw, or a straight draw, or some other random shit like a good read that you fold too much in postflop squeeze situations. When I read the "I did my best to define his range" part I at least expected to see more than a bet/fold line. that is the line I take with missed overs, not TPTK against aggressive opponents.

I don't get hand 4. are you attempting to float OOP vs. a calling station, but then decided not to? I might call for value, is that wrong?

hand 3 is more of a feel thing than anything. if you think the people behind are too likely to come along, then fine. If you think opp will call too loose, then fine. if you are doing it because you think you are ahead of his range and can take it down postflop with initiative, fine. If you are doing it because you always 3bet AK, then you need to examine this habit.

 1) I like a cbet of about $25.. that should do the trick

2) It's boarder line and I could go either way

3) Fine

4) He might be a station but check calling is far worse than bet folding. You became the station in that hand!

1) i dont c bet this flop either, utgs range is 99-aa, ak, he only folds ak and 1010 to a c bet, plus its multiway, just check fold.

2) meh, im not sure if shoving or folding is the best option here, i gues folding is at most a small mistake and shoving could be a huge one, so i fold.

3) fine.

4) c bet that flop!
