First one, I never fire two barrels into two different opponents. I could see this working sometimes though. Probably -EV, but it's close.

I really don't like the second one at all. It looks like he has an ace and if he's decent, he'll realize there are almost no hands you could have with a six in them, other than maybe 76 or 86 of diamonds. If he's not decent he'll call you anyway because ZOMG he has a straight.

Third one looks OK.

 Max, none of these are good enough to do. I mean seriously it's pretty much hoping someone has a hand in the bottom end of their range.

 I thought the turn on hand 2 is a blocking bet. Also i didn't say but he did tank a bit before calling my turn raise, could've been some lag or something else though.

You think he bets the flop with just an A and then bets the same amount (which i interpret as weakness usually) on the turn? Then he checks the river, most of the time you see a big bet from a straight, sure it could be a passively played A, but i think there are a lot of other things and my bet will take thos down.

2 is awful. fold pre-flop, raise flop, slow down on turn.

What I don't like (a little) about 3 is the thing we can possibly fold is an 8 a better 4, 55-77. I think if he calls $5 on the turn with <TP hand he calls $10 on the river. A read would help.

 For those who are curious, all these bluffs ended up working. I do think hand 1 is terrible.

Hand 2 guy typed, "i hit a set" "lucky bastard" "nice 6." and then folded. I'm still not sure if it was bad or good bluff.

Hand 3, well yeah he folded. Like everyone said, it was a good play.
