Ok in this one I simply knew what his hole cards were and that he would call. My concern is over whether or not I should have simply pushed PF. I mean, he apparently really liked his hand from the flop reraise. I just figured I'd flat call and keep my hand somewhat disguised. When the flop was ragged, I just decided to represent TT-JJ by open pushing.

Here, I am concerned that I didn't reraise enough preflop. With four people to the flop, I think I set myself up for a suckout.

 I think I would've tried a c/r on the flop on the first hand, just to get him to put it all in. Did he call?

On the second, you want action so jacking it up too high preflop could kill it. I think you're fine.

Hand 1: Villian just put 1/3 of his stack in, so you might as well push - he's not going anywhere. Given you smooth called, I would checkraise all in on this safe flop. Your line is giving AK a chance to escape.

Hand 2: As you said.

 who reraises AK 6x? Even donks are smarter than that.

His raise represented JJ-AA clearly, IMO. I think pushing the flop here wins more in the long run. If I c/r the flop then its obvious I have JJ-QQ beat. I pushed because I thought he would see it as a weak overpair like JJ. Fortunately for me, he did, and called with QQ.

I agree, but given his pre-flop aggression I think he would've pushed aww byy his widdle self on the flop if you'd checked. Regardless, it all got in there. Nice.

He only has another $20 behind. Any bet will commit him. I just dont see the point in pushing when the other guy will hang himself if we check. Still - good read of his hand from you.
