I've not been playing for a bit, was playing 25NL 6-max for a decent profit, felt like some 9-max today...had a few hands that had me in tough spots...was mostly a good session though. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hand 1
How's the line? I was pretty new to the table, was finding it hard to put villain on a hand, and figured he could be trying to steal as i'd shown weakness by checking, but also if he played JT or 2 big hearts pre, he could play it like that after the flop. Villain's line here always scares me though, I couldn't decide whether to call or fold river.

Hand 2
This is horrible, his minbet on the flop threw me, looking now i should have bet more on the flop i think to about $2.50, not really sure though. What do you normally make of people leading out for a minbet, today i saw it be a monster, a draw, and complete air?

Hand 3
I was finding it hard to give villain credit for bigger A on flop, again didn't know what to make of weak lead and then min reraise, was hard to give villain credit for anything that beat me except 77 and 99, but still not sure if i prefer call, fold or push over on flop. On turn pretty much everything in his range that i was ahead of on flop just caught, so it's a clear fold.

I think you played hand 1 well and I think you have good reasoning behind it. I think river is check-call.

Hand 2 looks good too.

Yeah... it can be all of the above. That's why it's important to note what hands people are doing it with. Also note how they react to their donk leads being raised.

Hand 3. I fold to the 3-bet on the flop. I like the raise, but I don't think many people are 3-betting with a range you're ahead of.
