Hand #1 is me hoping to shame myself into stopping spewing so goddamned much again. Id been really laggy on this table and so I got into the "omg hez makinz a movz" bullshit and spewed. Such a dumb call.

Hand #2 is a line check. Turn push ok? Just a wee bit over PSB. But I could obv take the check and just wait to hit. But I have chronic spewism and I dunno.

Renton will become famous soon enough
 hand one would be fine if there weren't 3 to a flush out
hand two is standard
hand three is fine too imo, you could also checkraise the flop.

hey euph, is hand 2 themadrusian also? Betting the turn and taking the free card are so player dependent. I'll sometimes make a smaller value looking bet when I'm semi-bluffing the draw to like 42 here. Probably meh, but the value looking bet sells my story and he knows we're not folding so he's less inclined to look you up with a pair.

 Hand #1 I fold turn. If you give this guy no credit a turn call is fine, but you definately have to fold that river shove. Every card in the world that should scare a hand you beat showed up and he's still playing hard.

Hand #2 is totally fine. I check if I know the villain will pay me off anyway if my draw completes, but against most I play it the way you did.

Hand #3 is fine against this guy.
