Tonight was a great session, up a little over 2 buyins, but a few hands I wanted opinions on.

Hand 1: Standard button raise with KJo, and then the standard continuation bet. After he called I slow down on the turn. When he bets that river should I make the call? A lot of times after you check behind on the turn they will fire with anything, and his bet seemed like a blocking bet with maybe something like 99.

Hand 2: Easy call preflop for set value, but with only one non ace overcard on the board I figured my hand to be good, so I lead out. He raised me and I had to fold, is this standard though? Is a check-raise a better play since he might be raising me with nothing on this flop for the fact that I lead into him?

Hand 3: I can't tell you how close I was to folding this preflop, but I just couldn't fathom folding pocket kings preflop in a 25nl 6 max game. I was hoping it was AK or QQ, but I ended up being up against Ace-Ace. It turns out I got extremely lucky for a 3 buyin pot. I really was almost positive he had AA, but I didn't go with it and I outdrew him. I am a firm believer in never folding KK preflop, but the limp-reraise set off alarms in my head. Thoughts?

RalphTheRice has left the table.

Hand 4: Judging from his huge stack I assumed he was your typical 25NL calling station. This was my very first hand at this table. I assume he was on a flush draw or a straight draw since he folded to an 8 dollar bet on the river into an enourmous pot. If he had a jack I definitely think he calls. Did I play every street ok?

So far after a fairly small sample size of around 725 hands I am currently at 34PTBB/100, which is obviously pretty crazy but not too unrealistic long term given the weak competition at party. My stats are as follows:

VP$IP = 16.39
PFR% = 8
Folded SB to Steal = 79
Folded BB to Steal = 87
Att to Steal Blinds = 20
Won $ WSF% = 30.12
WTSD% = 21.69
W$SD% = 70
AF = 1.9

I've been playing a very solid game at Party, much more solid than I play anywhere else. I try to avoid a lot of marginal situations since I'm 4-tabling, and hands like TJs UTG usually I'll just pitch it, on UB I would never do this since I get more respect, but at Party I end up getting 2-3 calls at least with a pretty marginal hand out of position. I'm not exactly playing like a rock, but definitely very TAG. That's all I've got for now, thoughts and comments appreciated.

A limp-reraise at small stakes is generally only AA or KK. Since you had KK, there's only really one hand out there. I wouldn't make the 4bet after a limp reraise there.

Hand 3 I could see flat calling with KK on the limp R/R. You know if an A flops you are dead 85% of the time. You would probably be all/in on on that flop anyway. Not that pushing PF with KK is really ever bad.

Hand 4: You have no chance of folding a better hand. I agree that J probably calls you, but 2nd pair probably doesn't. What about checking the river? TP doesn't check behind there, does it?
