 hand 1: villain was 35/21/4 over 40 hands at the time. No history but hes been pretty aggro. Calling here isnt standard at all for me, but i wanted to mix it up some. The limper was a typ donk who i think calls pre alot so that also helped my decision to call here OTB. Shove turn? Flat call with all my outs?

UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets $5.5, UTG folds, MP calls $5.50.

Turn: ($19.25) (2 players)
MP bets $7, Hero ???


hand 2: villain is 21.5/19.5/4.5 over 225 hands. hes definitly one of the better PS 50nl regs. hes been 3betting alot today, cant really say if its light or not because we havent shown one down yet. I have been isolating the 2 limpers quite a bit because they are both huge donks and limping tons of crap. On the flop what am i ahead of assumming a standard TT+/AQ+ 3bet range? Is a lead here ever good?

hand 3: again not a standard open, id been really quiet on this table and it was fairly tight. I went for a c/r on the flop because CO bets pretty much always when checked to in this spot. SB is 40/10/1.5 over 50 hands. Do i rep the flush here and shove, or is anything i beat calling?

 1) i dont bet flop multi way w/ MP bad kicker. as played yeah i think you could raise this easily. this is a really weak line by him. oh wow, didnt realize you had a double gutter +FD. yeah make it like $25.

2) hmm. that weak 3 bet makes me lean towards a big pair. i cant really see calling and folding the turn or river unless an A or K come. we are just too committed if we call.

3) since this is 3 way i would lead flop. does he bet a lot when checked to in a 3 bet, 3 way pot? anyhow, i shove river. i just always get it in against a donkey here. his 3 bet pre actually kinda makes me think an over pair is definitely in his range.

Hand 1: I think MP has something like AK, AJ or JJ on the flop. I like your bet.
Turn I was going to say I call, but looking at it further I think you can raise and fold out JJ.

Hand 2: Tough hand. Folding is not an option against TT+/AQ. I call and reevaluate turn. I don't see a reason to raise.

Hand 3: I think check behind. He's very bad though so maybe push. But any half decent opponent never has an overpair here and definately not calling with it.

even when they have both checked to you so you most likely have the best hand? I find myself betting these often and just taking it down on the flop, or checking it down on the turn/river and villain flips over like some mid PP. Im not doing it with bottom pair or anything, but mid pair on a dryish board seems pretty standard.
