 1. Push? at 25nl i might
2. I like, tough flop when he has so little behind. I might actually reraise opp all in here preflop because of so little money behind.
3. insta Call for me. Looks weak.
Id have made this like $3.5 on the reraise to really stop anyone else getting in on the flop.

Hand 1 and Hand 2 are fine. On Hand 3 I think his most likely hand is KK, call him.

He could just have top pair, but I see people play their big pairs this way a lot. Terrible fold either way.

More often than not I find weak raises to be weak hands. I make a lot of money 3-betting guys who open for 2x.

First hand throw out a c-bet about 75% of the pot. If you get called or raised, check/fold the rest of the hand.
My sig is too much for you to handle.

Hand 1: Given that Villian called the 3rd bet rather than pushed implies QQ/AK (or remotely JJ/TT/AQ) and he has about only $6 left (and there's $13 in the pot). Your choices are check or push. I can't see villian folding (except with the remote JJ/TT) could he fold AK? On that flop he might as it's likely you flopped a set. I say push because you are getting 3:1 on your money and there's a small chance he'll fold.

Hand 2: Fine as played

Hand 3: You have to call. I think villian is praying you have AK. The likelihood of him having JJ is offset by QQ/KK.

 1 - I would strongly consider just making it $12 to go preflop and set him allin. If he calls half his stack he will call his whole stack at this limit.
2 - Weeeeeee!!
3 - Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall! Opps if he has 55 66 JJ.

 hand 1: lol, awesome flop. I'd probably just check/call on the small possibility he has JJ/TT/something really stupid that only a 51/9 guy can show here, and the small amount of equity we have against made hands that are better then ours. Tough spot, and I don't think anything you do here can really be that bad.

hand 2: This is fine. I think calling is a small error here.

hand 3: Call.

Haven't had the time to respond back to this til now. A few followup questions.

Hand1:
I'm gonna give my first try at PokerStove here. I can't see very wide range calling the reraise even with his stats.

Generous
---------------------
equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 59.8873 % 58.48% 01.41% { KdKh }
Hand 2: 40.1127 % 38.71% 01.41% { 88+, AQs+, AKo }

More likely
---------------------
equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 35.0851 % 32.20% 02.88% { KdKh }
Hand 2: 64.9149 % 62.03% 02.88% { JJ+, AKs, AKo }

I pretty much figured I had to be beat, but I couldn't lay it down at the time, and went for the push since he had so little left. He had the QQ like I figured. Would a push preflop be in order instead of my reraise? Since the reraiser had a smaller stack and all.

Am I gonna scare him out of the hand if he has an Ace, again he has so little behind. Does my equity in the second hand range justify it given the 3:1 pot odds? I'm new to this equity thing, so any help would be appreciated.



Hand2:
Miff, would reraising all-in preflop be a good idea even though there are 5-6 left behind me? Is the UTG raise enough for me to jump on isolating him right away or fold him for $1.45?



Hand3:
Consensus is I made a terrible fold. I have a few questions. What hands would just push here? That seems a bit aggressive for a tight guy to push with any Jack and good kicker just hoping I raised AK. QQ is beat by most likely hands I'm holding. KK has a slightly better edge but why push. I can see sets doing it to suck in the proud overpair. A lower pair repping a set? Was my preflop raise too small to look like a big pair? This push is just strange to me.

Is the fact that the only hands I need to be worried about are JJ, 55, 66 the reason to just call it...because I'm just overthinking it too much?
