HAND #1
------------------
Villain was playing 28/13/1.7 over 110 hands. No interesting reads or anything. Note that we're 150bb deep.

2 folds, BTN raises to $2, SB folds, Hero raises to $7, BTN calls $5

Hero bets $9, BTN raises to $22, Hero ?


------------------
HAND #2
------------------
Villain was playing 26/21/2.4 over 109 hands and seemed very solid for these stakes. We more or less didn't get into eachothers way until now, besides some sqeeuzes or cbet folds that didn't go to showdown.
Is this a spot for a blocking bet?

HAND #3
------------------
Villain is playing a nitty 15/12/3.7 over 130 hands. I don't have any reads on him.
How wrong am I by putting villain on 87s, 88, 77?

bump.....would like to know what others think about 1st two hands.
hand1. villian looks kinda like a cross between a station/weak tight. But he has that big of a stack for a reason. With him not being very aggressive, I don't think he's bluffing. looks like (99+ AQ+)

hand 2. what does villian min raise the flop with, and then check a flush draw turn? my guess is air.....but that river definitely hits his range. I'd prob make a nit fold

hand 3. all in ldo

Hand 2: I bet turn again for value. The flop min raise is usually "I dont believe your donklead, because I have top pair and not you, but you can call me please."

The river sucks like Ming Lee. The betsize makes me want to call , but I dont see him do this with QT or anything so I think your hand has just turned into a bluffcatcher here. And I dont think he's bluffing a lot here.

hand 1: I can't see anything that hasn't got us beat or we're almost flipping against do this. We've shown strength and I doubt he's bluffing here. A single T might do this, but I don't think it's a single T often enough. Time to fold.

Okay, thanks all.

I played them like this:

hand 1: I folded, pretty confident that that's the right play.
If we're in a raised pot here instead of a 3bet pot, how does that change our decision?

hand2: yeah I folded river. It bothers me that villain can buy himself 2 free cards with only a minraise on the flop...the way I played the hand overall seemed pretty weak.
Also his turn check suprised me, after which I can't really put him on a range/hand anymore...which made the river c/f feel weak. Any ideas about villains turn and river range are appreciated.

hand 3: I wasn't feeling very good about it, but shoved it in...of course villain had 88, but w.e.
I really don't think villain ever has a 2 pair besides 87. If we're optimistic AK might be in his range for a very small part. I actually think we can fold this...but it's probably marginal so doesn't matter that much.

because we're only getting called by hands that beat us + AQ I think and folding out weaker hands. I would bet turn again though as said.

Underrepping our hand is neat too since we'll get so many more value bets @ us on the river (granted an A doesnt fall)
My sig is too much for you to handle.
