 hand 1: i think i call this. Your getting over 2:1 but i think you might be splitting the pot alot here. Meh, maybe i dont call, idk.

hand 2: i think i find a fold here. villain has donkish stats but hes also pretty passive.

hand 3: i call this and pay off a flush/999

Wouldn't an ace flat call this river? Thats the thing that confused me, I couldn't see what I beat that would raise there, other than a bluff.

 Hand #1: I call it if he's as fierce with blinds post flop as he is preflop.

Hand #2: That's a really stupid line he's taking. I really want to call these a lot. I think I have a leak where if someone's line makes no sense my brain just defaults and then calls. I'd call this if he had a little less behind him. He probably has 777 or a J though so it's not worth it.

Hand #3: Easiest fold evarrrr.

Haha, this is EXACTLY what happens to my brain. I'm just like "what the hell?? why would he push a Jack into me so strongly?".. and then I default into calling.

So you think we find a flush here more than 2/3's of the time? way more often than two pair/bluff?

I don't think it's a bluff or two-pair enough of the time. How do you get 2/3's? It's basically 2:1 and I think it's a flush more than half the time for sure. Besides, your line is all strength and he decides to bet into you on the river? If the villian is that spewy then call it but this looks like a fish getting a little too greedy with his flush to me.

2:1, thats where I got the 2/3's from. We need to be ahead here more than 1/3 of the time, so villain needs to have a flush here more than 2/3's of the time (or a higher set, which I don't see here) for us to lose from this call.

More than 2/3's of the time seems pretty often, but I suppose its possible given the line that villain took.

Maybe all that talk of not folding sets got to me

 Yeah my math is retarded sometimes. Anyway, I still think he has a flush too often to make the call.
