Hand 3

Villain is 29/24 over 270 hands. Over this sample, he is opening 85% of buttons (27 opportunities), and folding to 3bets 50% of the time.

Not at all sure about this hand honestly. Preflop, not sure if calling > 3betting or not. Pretty confused on what my thoughts on the turn should be and how to determine best line there. And on river I guess just c/f?

hand 1 either bet big enough to b/c or check and bet every river when he checks. if he bets he probably missed his c/rai

hand 2 $18/f i think

hand 3 depends on how many t's you think are in his range and how many he perceives to be in yours and whether or not he thinks you'll have shove a set.

1- I would really like to bet half pot and shove river in this spot, but betting 8$ and shoving river seems marginal. So check I guess.
2- c/f
3- c/f

In my experience regs rarely bet flop, c/c any substantial turn bet and then c/f river. I think we need to keeps some weak hands like QQ/TT/AJ maybe even AQ in with a small bet on the turn, so $8 turn and shove river is fine imo as we have a pretty nice draw here.

hand 3: c/f

In hand 1, we can bet/call the turn for $8, and shove river if he calls. However, what do we do if we have a weaker draw in this instance. One that we couldn't really bet small, then profitably call with? Just check behind? What about when checked to on rivers we miss? Is it going to be a profitable bluff spot often enough in general? Because it kinda seems like on blanks, I'm going to get check/called on the river often.

As for hand 3, I'm fine with check/folding river. A bit more confused by turn than anything. Like really confused on turn. Not all that certain if I'm valuebetting here, and if so it seems pretty thin. Or if it's more of a spot I should be betting for somewhat of protection since the alternative of check/calling isn't that appealing. What sort of range villain might shove on me with on the turn? What my river line is on blanks (c/f)?

Honestly just really confused with turn in hand 3. Would love some sort of explanation on what I should be thinking and looking at here if possible.

hand 3 is really interesting:

when he just calls your turn barrel you are beating TT/T9s (9 combos) and losing to J9s/QT/AJhh (16 combos). I think you can c/f turn against opponents who are more passive postflop and will only bet the turn when you are beat, but I generally b/f in this spot. looking at the # combos it looks pretty thin though

I'd never c/c with KJ in this spot versus a thinking opponent since your hand looks exactly like what it is

1hand: check behind
2hand: check and re-evaluate according to the bet villain in river
3hand: check-fold

Hand 3 Is going to be a little tricky if you haven't been observing his tendencies. Do you have any reads at all? I think if we bet turn and get called, on blank rivers we should probably be firing 3 some of the time against a tighter range c/f 'ing most of the time and c/c'ing some of the time against a wider range. A little a vague I know but thats the best i can come up with right now with little info.
I'd c/f turn without reads.
