And now for something different....a winning session

#1 Villain is 10/6/8 with 0% 3-bet but only over 49 hands. For some reason I put him on AA as soon as he reraised so I decided to take a flop and evaluate. I think pushing the flop over his raise is the better line but don't think we were getting away from all-in at any stage after the flop.

#2 Villain is 33/9/1. Wasn't really sure what to put him on here but after his donk to a card that likely didn't help him (I couldn't see him calling a reraise on that flop with 44) I put him on the flush draw or a slowplayed Ax and pushed over his turn bet hoping he wasn't on QTcc or Ax expecting him to fold most anything else

#3 Villain is 15.4/7/2.3. In this hand, the guy to my left was playing like 75/63 and showing down crap so I thougth villain might have been coming along with something like Ax that he wanted to see a flop with but not reraise with the dead money in the pot. With his 3-bet on the flop I started to think it was AA slowplayed to try and keep the maniac in the hand and with the drawy board I decided to push after his 3-bet to hopefully get him off or get the money in while I was ahead. I'm not sure how else I could have played this hand, but I have a feeling I played it badly

One think I am still having trouble with I am noticing is 3-betting and 4-betting AK and to a lesser extent AQ. Most other hands I find I can play preflop based on stats and position of the opponents but if we take hand #1 here as an example, I'm sure the general consensus would be to have 3-bet pre as my read based on his stats would have been very polarised based on lack of hands seen so far but I'm finding myself having difficulty being willing to get it in pre on a coinflip......that could be my downswing talking though.
