    Default Some weird or troubling hands

    Hello guys, I took everyone's advice, stopped 12 tabling and played 6 tables then 4 tables. I was trying to put everyone on a range every hand, thinking about every route to take. And I know its one session, but I was running at 5.43ptbb/100, so i thought that was pretty good

    Here were some of the weird hands.

    For the first hand, the villain was 23/12/1.3. I open standard with JJ, too many callers though. I c-bet the dry flop big because I wanted to take the pot right there. Against soo many, didn't want someone to outdraw me, or someone like AK to stay in.

    When Villain called, I put his range as 55, A2s, 99-QQ, Suited A or K of c. I think with AA, or KK, he would have raised. Maybe QQ he would have raised. 88 and smaller he prob would fold.
    The turn confused me, I felt like he had AK, maybe slow played a set. But with such a small bet I couldn't lay it down. I thought about raising but wasn't sure if he was capable of laying down a hand like AK.

    could you guys maybe comment on my logic and see where I went wrong on that hand?

    For hand 2, I know people here stress against slowplaying, but this guy over a 40 hand sample size is folding down c-bet 100% of time. I know its a small sample, but I just wanted to see what people think of this slowplay.

    3rd hand, what to do??? Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking then, must have had a brain fart. Should have bet bigger on the flop and maybe turn?
    But in that situation, what should I have done on the river?

    1. Bet turn still
    2. More reads on player but don't slowplay on wet boards in general
    3. Yes bet bigger on the flop.
