 Considering a move back to stars now that i need to get a large number of hands in during the periods i actually have to play.
Hero's image will be semi, maybe even fully loose aggressive, raising lots of hands in CO/Button (35/25ish)
(playing drunk rules btw Jager )
Super standard?

Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with :Kh: :Th:
2 folds, Villain raises to $3, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: ($6.5, 2 players)
Hero checks, Villain checks.

Turn: ($6.5, 2 players)
Hero bets $6, Villain raises to $18, Hero raises to $30, Villain raises all-in $98.6, Hero calls.

River: ($203.7, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $203.7)


Results:
Final pot: $203.7

First hand at table hence the 'please push your overpair' c/r line with two pair. Is this often a set?...

Is betting the turn better here or spewage, considering i have the loose/aggressive table image? Opp is a calling station loose/passive. River? Do i need to give up my calling station ways on stars?

Ok, I'll give it a go:

1) Nice flop, I'd just lead out. Good job on getting all the money in on turn. Make a note on what villain did in this hand no matter what he shows down. Folding pre-flop is a viable option.

2) I usually bet into the pf-raiser here. An overpair would almost have to raise, and it would suck if it's checked through. Anyway, good job on getting all the money in. I don't think this is a set often enough to worry about it. Pre-flop is kinda loose.

3) I can't see the turn card, but it's an ace, right? Consider checking behind on flop if villain is calling station. As played, I guess turn depends on just how loose he is. Calling the river can't be too big of a leak.

First hand looks pretty good. Leading out, check-calling or check-raising the flop are all viable options.

Second hand, why are you checking the turn? Your hand is probably good, so just take the pot. I see no reason to give a free river card.

 im villain in hand 1, i assumed that my raise/push line was a little aggressive considering i wouldnt be pushing anything less than a King high flush here. Considering my opponent (hero in the hand) has the king i thought i gave him oppertunity to fold. (villain/me shows A7hearts ftw)

hand2 is standard IMO (opp shows AKhearts ftw) Obviously i was the fish for calling with 89o oop in a multiway raised pot, so he said (forgetting he pushed a flush draw into two pair)

Dsax (i assume you mean the turn check in hand3 ) i dont know why i didnt bet the turn, its why i posted as i felt it was a mistake. Generally id bet here. When opp half pots the river i seriosuly considered folding because i couldnt see him betting anything i could beat, no matter if i underepped my hand a lot.

 Hand 1 : minreraise is hilarious... but it worked out nicely lol.

Hand 2 : 102% standard ( usually I bet/3 bet but this worked out nicely)

Hand 3 : Doesn't get more standard. Although on some days I feel foldy in this spot.

Nice hands.

Edit : stop posting all these good hands.

I WANT SPEWS BABY
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

I lead flops in 1 & 2, and the turn check in 3 seems fine to me. Just don't make a habit of betting without the Ace and checking if he you actually hit.

i tend to mix up the flop check in hand1 with betting just to make it a little bit more confusing to read me. I wont always bet my draws or raise them in position etc. balance balance balance etc.
hand 2 was pot control mostly.
