2) comments on all streets welcome. i dont really ever call this in the BB but i was getting too good of a price to fold. Im basically repping a set here. Villain was 29/16/3.75 over 80 hands. I think calling the flop is way better in retrospect.

3) villain was 13/8 over only 20 hands. Calling here seems fine since hes nitty and will most likely pay off with an overpair. idk if this line is best of not. Raise/call seems better than calling and seeing a turn.

Hand 1: With history easy call.

Hand 2: I call flop all day cause MP likely isn't folding his TP and you get a nice price and 3 way is good for your nut draw.

Hand 3: Calling pre is good. Flop you have to raise cause on a call you won't get paid when you hit, everybody is afraid of the 4 to a straight...and calling and c/fing turn is way too expensive.
I even think it's fold>call.

bump

they all look good to me as long as you called hand 1

1) i like it, espicially after the history
2) squeeze pf!!!! raising>folding>calling i think, as played hes not
folding an ace
3) good

I keep thinking that if you c/r hand 3 that it should be more, but as played you leave about a pot-sized stack behind for the turn. If we flat call it, is it likely that V will give us a free river or fold to a CR-AI turn?

call hand 1
hand 3, is your c/r for value or a bluff or what?

i was really close to squeezing here, but the co and button were pretty loose and i figured it would be easier playing a med. pot OOP than getting called and playing a pretty big pot.

only 20 hands with villain so i have no clue really. Hes a nit that raised UTG, so its doubtful with any pair, but if i raise here some nits get afraid of sets/overpairs w/ 88-TT, maybe JJ.

1- raise flop some of the time, snapcall river
2- yah, just call flop with how many people are in. as played i like the shove on the turn, though i don't think you'll get many folds. After reading the other posts, i do like a squeeze here, cbet and get it in w/nfd.
3- this is good, what will you do if he shoves? you'll win like 1/3 the time against an overpair

To the people who raise flop in hand 2....
- what's MP's betting range, and what is he folding to our flop raise?
- What's SB's calling range and what is he folding to our flop raise?

minsim I don't love the CR in hand 2 either

if the pot were HU and villain wasn't tricky then CR is much better to get him to fold all non Ax c-bets

I don't know if I love either of the C/Rs. Dislike hand 2 more.

Hand 3, as villain is described you're not getting him to fold a better hand. So really all the C/R is serving as is hand protection.

Double.
