1) opp is 21/14/6 over 60-ish hands. is it better to just call here and check turn to him? or call and lead turn? not a lot of draws out there and i wouldnt put him on hearts really. in hindsight i just think i could have got more value if i called his re-raise

Hero ($51.90)
BTN ($49.25)
SB ($66.75)

UTG calls $0.5, 3 folds, MP3 raises to $3, Hero calls $3, 3 folds, UTG calls $2.5

Flop:

($9.75, 3 players)
UTG checks, MP3 bets $3, Hero raises to $9, UTG folds, MP3 raises to $19, Hero raises to $34, MP3 folds, UTG says "oooooooo"

Final Pot: $47.75

Hero wins $60.4 ( won +$23.4 )
MP3 lost -$22.00
UTG lost -$3.00

2) is this a good time to c-bet? i think i definitely should have, but at the time i was thinking that flop looked like it missed most of my range and i was oop. raise more pre? if so, why raise more? should i be raising everything more? because i thought you shouldnt vary the sized based on hand strength

3) on hands like this i am getting somewhat lost. what is the best way to play them. i am probably ahead in equity on the flop and want to get as much in as i can. but do you just standard raise? what about the turn? ive been pushing the last couple times i have had something like this and think im losing a lot of value here.

1) In hindsight sure, but I think you played it fine.
2) Definitely make it more than 3xbb preflop, especially with weaker hands. This is a place where I'd c/f also.
3) I prefer to check raise in this spot and lead big on the turn. It instills fear for the 8 and gives you the highest fold equity possible. If villain has less than trips, you are at least 50% to win on the flop... so don't go slow playing this. A check raise in this spot is great because the preflop raiser probably has less than a pair and is folding. Also, and most importantly, MP2 is leading in position here a high % of the time because both you and UTG showed weakness on the flop.

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

Hand 1 - I don't like your call pre-flop - AQ is too easily dominated. As played, you got lucky. Villain's range with the raise to $19 is AA/QQ/AQ and a tiny piece of AK. Did you think about folding - I would have.
Hand 2 - all good
Hand 3 - Fold pre.

I've looked at all these hands you've posted and it seems you're playing too wide pre-flop, leading to situations you are struggling with post-flop.
Anyway, well done on the $500 fightback! keep it up..
Where you playing?

XTR1000 is an unknown quantity at this point

#1 You´re commited anyway after his 3bet and he should know that. Calling and shoving turn would be fine, but I doubt it´s making a big difference.

#2 Great flop to cbet, 2barell any JKQA turn. I c/r here w/ air 20%

#3 Yea either fold pre or 3bet squezze if they can fold. As played I´m with Bankster
