tough session again, but made some Sklansky

As some of you read in my other thread I'm on a pretty big downswing. I got some very good responses tho, and diffinately have to work on my aggressivess.

I lost another BI today while making 2 sklansky, but w.e.
Here were some interesting hands:

Hand 1:
Villain was 21/9 over 100 hands, attempt to steal blinds 23%.
I had been 3-betting him a little light bit from the blinds, not overly.
The last one I remember he folded to my c-bet on a Q high flop.

Hand 2
Villain was 37/17 over 35 hands. He had 3-bet me from the blinds maybe 3 times before.
I thought he was 3-betting me lightly so I didn’t want him to fold to my 4-bet, rather pick at least a c-bet and maybe more. I called flop because it was very dry and I thought I could get all-in on lots of turns against Q’s anyway and I hoped to get more value from 7x+ and air this way.

Villain had ATc

1) b/f turn and fold river as played.
2) i 4 bet pre, but its fine. you definitely need to raise flop.
3) fine
4) raise turn with intent of getting it in.
5) fine.
6) sucks.

All comments should be taken at face value and at your own risk:

Hand 1:
A raise and a reraised call. A on flop, I like your check. Either the A hits him and he is slow playing or it was a pp he called you with. I'm not too excited about your check/call, you don't know where you are and you're hoping for maybe a Q on river? Bet turn and fold to a reraise.

Hand 2:
3-bet. He has already said that he wants to play with you and you've got the best hand right now. Reraise on flop.

Hand 3:
Pretty much as played. My guess is he is slamming trips.

Hand 4:
I'll be reading other people's thoughts on this.

Hand 5:
I think as played.

Hand 6:
As played.

1: fold
2: wtf are you doing
3: fine
4: flip a coin and raise turn imo prob.
5: fine
6: fine

1) Played fine now fold river.
2) My standard 3 bet was 4.5 at 25nl which i like better builds pot faster. Please raise this flop trying to get it in. Every time you slow play 1 pr hands you're asking to get drawn out on.
3) personal preference is fold pre but now you have a monster all in!!
4) Really gross but raise turn and go broke.
5) 80/50 + pair& spades = the nuts
6) lol runnerrunnersuckoutaments

1) bet turn, as played fold river
2) raise flop, as played check behind turn and call any bet, bet/fold if checked to.
3) good
4) bet turn harder, as played fold *edit didnt see lead, raise*
5) good becasue hes short, if hes a full buy in im not sure i like c/r this flop
6) nice *edit didnt see you got sucked out on...shitty*

Thanks for your comments.

Hand 2 and 4 seem to be the most interesting ones.

Hand 2 I thought his 3-bet range was wide, I had no information about his 4-bet calling/shoving range so I assumed it was standard tight. IMO (correct me if I'm wrong) it can't be very bad to call the 3-bet IP with AA and go all in on lots of flops.

But yeah, at least go all-in on it then!
My reasoning at the time was a flop shove would have folded anything but KK, AQ, KQ. Turn pairing the Q made a Q in villains range less likely, and also in my range. I shoved because I expected to get called lighter, at least by JJ+, maybe more. I also thought I would be well ahead of that range, but as I Pokerstoved it I see I can't be that sure:

Hand 4 I don't have a really good idea of villains range at the turn. Villain is obviously bad, but very passive as well. If somebody can put a possible range together for me that would be great; or some probabilty of TP/2pairs/straights/draws.

At 25nl if villain is 3 betting its pretty much a given that he is willing to stack off preflop in my experience. Calling in position is not bad but in doing so you must get it in on the flop but i think you get that.

Thanks again, these were the results:

Hand 1: I folded river
Hand 2: Vilain called with JJ, rivered a J.
Hand 3: I didn't hit, villain had 99
Hand 4: I folded river
Hand 5: Villain had flopped the flush

Well thank you again...
