Trip tens

I figure the call preflop is ok since I'm getting decent odds with a speculative hand. After I get two callers on the flop, should I figure that I might be beat? Both opponents are 13/10/3. I'm 17/13/4.

I might be looking at this from a weak/tight perspective, but I'm finding that I lose the most in these types of hands.

I'm also losing the most with KK. Against a 15/13 UTG that 4bets, are you just calling and seeing flops? I thought that the possibility was there that he could have like AKs on this flop and was shoving so I called. But, how many decent players 4bet AKs UTG when 3bet? Can I avoid going busto with the hand above and the hand below?

1 looks good, unless they're really nitty postflop but without that read this is fine.

2 is bad. If you don't know what to do when they 4bet, don't 3bet. There's nothing wrong with flatting KK to an utg raise, calling the 4bet seems bad because you're maybe lettin him get away form AK but this is AA soooo muich of the time. Without 3bet history this is a call preflop (I think the higher stakes you go the more of a 3bet this is because you are presumed to be more aggro as an unknown)

hand 2 is a non-decision IMO except id get it in pre

hand 1 if you are losing the most in these types of hands fold preflop
hand 2 consider flatting the initial raise 50% of the time. Flat the 4bet

preflop in hand 1 is very far from OK

I'm almost never calling KTs from the BTN.

Disagree slightly with mcat

Diagree a lot with swig

Hand 1: Hero is in the BB. Called due to odds, ~7-1. Given stats and the fact that I have two callers, I think that I can check/call this down. Fold to a massive bet. Is my bet on the turn incorrect? Or is this just standard variance?

Hand 2: I agree with badgers and Deanglow. Looking back on this hand, I think that I should have either called or 3bet/ship it in over his 4bet. I call UTG raises with AK and QQ. Maybe throw KK in there as well against 50NL nits since their range is heavily weighted towards AK, QQ+. I know that I'm ahead of this range, but does that mean that I have to 3bet?

1: fold pre, postflop standard obv

2: call pre, shove pre as played

From the SB or not closing the action I would agree. As-is I think it's pretty meh.

I'm confused. Some say that the call preflop in hand 1 is ok and some say it's not. Calling from the bb with a speculative hand for 7-1 is not ok?

i wouldn't call it disgustingly bad, but its not a call i like to make

I can't give anything more than what's been said so:

The problem with your hand is that you hit second best too often and you are out of position. I think it's an easy fold. Postflop standard ofc.

I follow now. Mid broadway hands are terrible multiway. Especially OOP. This spot would call for Axs, pps, and some scs. Hands that would flop nut hands. Also, I think that I need to stop being a pussy and just get my chips in with the KK hand preflop.

hand (1):
preflop is not good really oop,.... suited i call....(but would much rather have kjs).. i dont see ur question here and trying to read his range as semibluffing aks...ur reading bad if u meant it like this.u have the nuts.
hand (2):
shove or fold pre (if he's supernit)...its funnyt cos iseen some ppl 4beting/folding but wotever.... u get Axx flop and what you gonna do ? tilt on all ur tables..... shove 95% of time.
