Hollywood poker 50nl shorthand has some big time fish, but these hands were sorta tricky for me. What do you think?



#1 - I had some history of attempting steals pf and then folding to villain's 3bets. What do you think of this?

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $23.25
hero: $78.25
SB: $61.30
BB: $65.15

Pre-flop: (4 players) hero is Button with Q Q
UTG folds, hero raises to $2, SB raises to $4.5, BB folds, hero raises to $16, SB calls.

Flop: 4 6 T ($32.5, 2 players)
SB is all-in $45.3, hero calls


#2 - No good reads. Value bet the river (how much)? Anything else you do different?

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$0.50
5 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: $24.60
hero: $51.80
Button: $30.45
SB: $21.85
BB: $66.10

Pre-flop: (5 players) hero is CO with A A
UTG folds, hero raises to $2, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 9 J 5 ($4.5, 2 players)
BB checks, hero bets $3, BB calls.

Turn: 4 ($10.5, 2 players)
BB checks, hero bets $7, BB calls.

River: 2 ($24.5, 2 players)
BB checks, hero ???



#3 -no good reads. flop min raise sucks? I thought SB prob has Ax or a bluff/semibluff and wanted to get heads up with SB and bet the turn like 2/3 pot if the draw misses. Then when UTG called I got confused what to do. I'm thinking a raise to around 14 would've been better on the flop...then I figured it was worth betting the river. What's your line?

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 My thoughts:

hand 1: Normally this is a fold for me, but a read can override that, if you think he is trying to bully you.

hand 2: If I think Villain could be a slowplayer, I check behind.. otherwise I bet like $10.

hand 3: I'd triple his bet on the flop, so $12. Others would probably raise it even higher. I'm not really sure what to do here as played.. shove the turn maybe? Your stack is only slightly higher than the pot anyway. You might get a call from a draw.. you lose value from those speculative hands if you wait for the river to go allin.

ilikeaces86 is on a distinguished road
 Hand 1: Really depends on player but I lean toward call in this spot.

Hand 2: Bet 12 fold to raise

Hand 3: Raise to 16, shove turn.
