Try to merge your hand ranges a little more in general forcing your opponents to react to your play.

Basically, doing this will put you in fewer marginal situations on the river/turn when the bets get big and force your opponents to play their hands in a more straightforward and less profitable manner against you- you will also get paid off more with your big hands when you merge your hand ranges like this.

And when those opponents make "fundamental theorem" mistake it can mean only one thing- SHIP THE SKLANSKY BUCKS. Sauce.
Thanks for all the replies guys. I definitely agree, sauce, that I am shutting down too quickly OOP on the turn when my hand is marginal. In position, its a lot easier to check through and call a river lead. OOP kind of sucks. I definitely need to incorporate more block betting in spots like these, especially in the second hand.

hand 1- I lead flop for $33, he pushed, and I called. How bad is that? (he showed JJ for what its worth)

hand 2 - I folded the river bet

hand 3 - I called and he showed AK. Wasn't expecting villain to be that strong. Figured he'd check behind with a weak king, so I thought his second barrel after flat calling the flop was a missed draw. Bad logic? (I guess this is what sauce is referring to about merging your range, so ppl can't put you on a hand)
