1) Reads? I may c/c this river, as played there is no way I am pushing this against an unknown, I dont even know if I really like calling. Thinking about this more I like a check/call here, seems to lose the least and win the most

2) Thats a ridiculously small 3bet, even with just the original raiser I am making it more. We really need some reads here, is he playing AQ or KQ this strong? This depends on so much as against some players you beat nothing and against others you can push for value

3) Agreed, these 3bets are tiny. A lot of draws completed but how many make sense for him to hold in a 3bet pot? Actually, given your weak raise PF quite a few could be possible. This is another shitty spot where reads make a huge difference

4) On this sketchy flop I am going to lead for around $10 or so and hopefully b3b AI. I push this turn nearly every time. As played the river is interesting because its such a weird bet, it could be somebody trying to get a little value out of their flush or it could be a decent hand that is making a blocking bet. what sort of opponent is this?

Basically, include stats, reads, notes, whatever in your post. without those things its so hard to give good advice as so much can change simply based on your opponent.

1) easy check/call on the river and i probably fold to his minraise, i doubt hes raising u with the Ts.

2)3bet way more preflop, like $20, i would just bet/3bet the flop.

3)3bet way more preflop again, like $12. You can block bet, check/call or check/fold based on reads/feel, i wouldnt check/call a psb on though.

4)preflop is fine, Flop is fine, Please push that turn, as played push river.
