Any reason to call these?
Hand 1:
I played this hand crappy but this guy is loose aggressive and I figure I can stack him if a King hits. Plus, I'm not sure if he has AJ or something on the flop so I float.
I'm looking for a relatively cheap showdown. When he pushes the river - I'm not calling as I'm a split at best.

Hand 2:
Blind war - no read. I just call the flop because I figure to have the best hand and want to see what he does on the turn.
I'm a little concerned about a 3rd club. I can't call the river when 4 clubs are out.

Hand 3:
I think his VPIP was 21 or something. Stacking off with TPTK vs. a 3bet doesn't seem good here.

All of these seem like good folds.

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 hand 1: pretty sure he has a monster

hand 2: you're behind way too much hands he might have here

hand 3: quick fold yes

How about this one? Didn't have a read but when I got all those callers and then check-pushed this is most likely a fold right? KQ or a set?

With no reads I fold all of these.


P.S. Make your blind raise bigger ($8) if it's just you and BB/SB.

I usually make it 8bb, but I think 6bb will accomplish the same thing. Plus, if I have a decent read on somebody I raise a wide range so keeping the pot a little smaller each time seems better.
