So I'm back again from my hiatus, and I'm playing my favorite game of NL100 shorthanded Hold'em. I think my image in all of these hands is pretty straightforward TAG - meaning that anyone without a HUD probably dont know that much about me.

Hand 1:

My opponent seems like TAG but has somewhat nitty preflop stats. I usually always reraise AK, but given his probable range here I decided it was better to just call. Should I just let my hand go on the turn because I'm at best up against AK here and even then we only split?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($58.50)
MP ($221.55)
Button ($231.90)
SB ($99)
Hero ($84.55)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A

, K

. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
1 fold, MP calls $1, 1 fold, SB (poster) raises to $4.5, Hero calls $4, MP calls $4.

Flop: ($15) T

(3 players)
SB bets $12, Hero calls $12, MP calls $12.

Turn: ($51) 5

(3 players)
SB bets $40, Hero calls $83.55 (All-In), MP folds, SB calls $27.55.

River: ($202.10) 5

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $202.10

Hand 2:

Opponent in this hand is semiloose preflop and has pretty aggro postflop stats. How to proceed after the flop mincheckraise?

SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $14, SB raises to $30, UTG folds, Hero raises to $64, SB calls $75.82 (All-In), Hero calls $5.31.

Turn: ($197.14) 4

(2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($197.14) T

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $197.14

Hand 3:

Opponent is TAG (20/15 and pretty aggro postflop stats over like 500 hands) and seems like a solid regular. Given villians flop checkraise and his range here, is this bluff profitable? (I mean, I'm only really worried about AJ and 66 here, and I believe opp is capable of c/r me with air a lot here)

Flop: ($11) A

, 6

(2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $8, SB raises to $24, Hero calls $102.65 (All-In), SB folds.

Final Pot: $145.65

Hand 4:

Very standard hand here. Opp has TAggy stats, but I dont know anything about him, I'm new at the table and theres absolutely no history between us? I often 3-bet this against TAGs I have history with, but in this hand it seems like a coldcall is better - disagree? As played preflop, lead/checkraise/checkcall flop?

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point

Hand 1: Fine
Hand 2: I don't like the flop push at all.
Hand 3: see hand 2
Hand 4: I doubt you get much out of him and this is a sometimes check sometimes bet.
Hand 5: Looks good, although sometimes I check behind and try to induce a bluff. You're WA/WB IMO.

I think you rivered the T on hand 2 perfectly. Otherwise you were smoked.

Hand 1: I sometimes re-raise PF, but I definitely raise this flop with the potential diamond draw

Hand 2: SB cold calls your PF re-raise, with an UTG raiser to act behind him still... he has a BIG hand here..tens no good. Flop bet is fine, but I might be worried about SB's PF cold call.. and check through. Folding to SB's raise would be fine.

Hand 3: This is all about reads. I wouldn't do this play without KT clubs.

Hand 4: Does villain cont bet a lot? Your hand is so strong, why lead into him? Check raise or check call. Let him hang himself.

Hand 5: I might check through this turn and keep the pot small, and call his river lead. Your play is fine as well.

all,

So the 3-bet allin bluff in hand 3 is spew even though he probably has air/flushdraw/toppair a lot here and will fold?

i doubt he ever folds a flush draw in that one...

of course the push is fine if you have a really great read but looking at it by itself its spew
