A C/R flop push, thin AI flop call or fold, flopped nuts

Do you like this C/R shove, or is this spew as usually only a set will call? I figure I have decent FE, and if I call I have a good set of outs.

I'm 47% vs. KK, 52% vs. JJ, 26% vs. a set

do you prefer a lead to a C/R? I felt it was 100% villain bet here. I wanted money in it, and I wanted to get all in on the flop.

I might have let villain's decision remain unseen, but the same villain is in the next hand and I think he was steaming a bit after being c/r the previous hand. I feel like this was a really thin call, and I really made it because of the previous hand. What do you think? Anyone lay this down?

Do you laydown here on the paired board, or is this always a call? I should have bet $16 on the flop and $35 on the turn I realize to protect vs. flush... but curious as to how everyone plays river.

Hand 1: I like
Hand 2: I don't get the mini-reraise on the flop. That hand looks ugly to me.
Hand 3: I bet more on the flop like you said, bet the turn and probably check/call the river

I forgot to note why i did the miniraise, I felt he was 'playing back at me' and might not have a real hand, so I felt a minraise was just as good as a bigger raise risking less and that he would fold. Then he pushed, whoops. Do you call though hand 2?

In the last hand I'm folding the river to a typical TAgg.

Hand 1: Standard flop play against basically all players.

Hand 2: If you are planning on calling an all-in, I would have just put all my money in the middle once he raises.

Hand 3: I would fold the river as played. Also, I would probably check-call the river or make a smaller bet. You're encouraging too much action for this hand on a board that is very scary from opponents perspective (unless he perceives you as a maniac, his calling range for this bet consists of no hands that you beat).

1/2 pot on all 3 streets seems to be a reasonable value bet to me. A fair range of Ax hands might look him up.

Assume you are villain. Your opponent raises preflop, and bets a flop of A, Q, T, you call, indicating that you probably have a reasonably strong hand yourself. He then bets again once the board pairs tens. Assuming he is not reckless, it seems likely you are facing a solid hand; at least a pair of aces, but most likely a pair and a straight draw or better, and you are also showing a fair amount of strength by calling him down. Then a four card straight appears on the board, and your opponent shows no concern and makes a confident bet. Would you call with less than a straight?

I can't figured out which full houses he might have. I would think that QT, AT & sets would probably raise the flop with all the draws out there and I can't see 88 calling down. It would be sick if he showed T8. I might call this river but I'd probably time out thinking about it.

I agree with this, I'm having a hard time seeing what boat villain could possibly have here, that wouldn't have raised the flop or re-raised PF. Hero's bet looks suuuper weak on the river, and I think this may induce bluff raises on the river. The only hand I can see here is 108s or something.. and maybe AT, QT.. though seems unlikely given flop action.
