KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
 First two hands are against a fairly tight villain. Rarely bets or fires a 2nd barrel without at least a decent hand. However I don't have many hands on him. I've been playing a bit loose, maybe something like 25/14. Raising a fair number of pots at this very weak-tight table. I'd say a good 1/3 of the time a minimum or $1.5 raise takes down the blinds without a fight. Of the times that bet is called, I will usually cbet and that will take it down the vast majority of the time.

hand1

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP1 ($14.55)
MP2 ($44.45)
MP3 ($49.25)
CO ($13.25)
Button ($37.80)
SB ($22.75)
BB ($86.85)
UTG ($9.50)
Hero ($57.40)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 9, T.
1 fold, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, MP3 raises to $3, 4 folds, Hero calls $2.

Flop: ($6.75) 9, 6, 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $5, Hero calls $5.

Turn: ($16.75) K (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $10, Hero raises to $46.75.

In retrospect I probably should have called here. I put him on QQ or AK with his fairly weak bet on 2-flush board. I thought that he would likely fold to my check-raise. Against a fairly tight player, will I have any fold equity pushing here?

hand2

Same villain as hand #1, maybe 10 minutes later.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($20.90)
UTG ($95.50)
MP1 ($14.10)
MP2 ($14)
CO ($51.95)
Button ($8)
Hero ($49.05)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, T.
UTG raises to $1.5, MP1 calls $1.50, MP2 calls $1.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.25, 1 fold.

Flop: ($6.50) K, J, 6 (4 players)
Hero bets $4.5, UTG raises to $12, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Hero goes all in for $47.55.

My push was a bit of an overbet, but I figured it was worth swining for the fences here with my massive draw. Plus there's probably a chance he thinks I am trying to push him off his hand with a mediocre hand again.

hand3

Villain here is somewhat loose and passive, definitely one of the weak spots at the table.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($43.05)
SB ($47.40)
BB ($75.75)
UTG ($14.55)
Hero ($48.90)
MP1 ($48.25)
MP2 ($55.10)
MP3 ($40.30)
CO ($59.10)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 7, A.
Hero calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.50, 2 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($2.50) 7, J, T (6 players)
SB checks, BB bets $3, UTG folds, Hero raises to $11, MP1 folds, MP3 folds, SB folds, BB calls $8.

Turn: ($24.50) 3 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $14, BB calls $14.

River: ($52.50) K (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $23.4 (All-In)

How are my bet sizes here?
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

1: I like ur attempt to rep a flopped set, if u know that he can lay down big pps and tptk. PLus u have lotsa outs even if called.

2: standard.

3: bet sizes look good

I don't like hand 1 as played. Your fold equity likely decreased on the turn, and villain will give you less credit for a back door make, maintaining good implied odds for your 2.6-1 call. In this spot I check/call all day for my plethora of outs. Also, stop min-raising preflop or I'll kill your family.

Hand 2 and 3 are played well, whether your reasoning was sound or not.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

hand 1: bad. no one check-calls, check-raises that board with a made hand, way too dangerous. your line screams semibluff and you really know nothing about his hand because of your weak ass preflop raise..AK and AA are never folding here
hand 2: fine
hand 3: fine
