P4's plays suited connectors.

Sauce ruled that I have to post at least one HH where things doesn't go my way, so I'm posting these to avoid the ban-hammer (at least one went bad).

1. I make a weak/tight fold. I don't think BB is bluffing with that small raise b/c the weak/passive player is calling so often with a J.

2. I like.

3. I think you have to cbet this board. I would never check here with QQ+ b/c you get value from low pp's and clubs. As played I check turn. Really don't like this one.

first two seem really std

third one seems like an obvious mistake against the vast majority of villains- and why raise so big pre?

1. I really think I overplayed my hand here. Three way pot and drawy board, bottom two is simply not good enough in this spot. Both villains had the nuts. Very good fold zook, although I still like calling here (also) and possibly folding turn instead.

2. This one was fairly standard, but got called by JJ and it held up. I hate his call though. I had a solid image. Usually I like to c/r turn in these spots, but stacks weren't deep enough here for that.

3. Preflop raise is huge because he was calling my reraises way too light (about 75%), so I adjusted by raising more and he still kept calling. This is obviously a very spewy play, but my read was that he would have bet the flop with any pair. I felt sure that he didn't have one and I didn't think he would call my shove with only overcards. I was wrong and he called with AQ and took it down. I of course hate my play, especially because of my bad image, but at least I read his hand correctly and I had > 30% eq. Got my money back with a nice value shove 10 hands later.
