    Hand 1:

    4b'ing pre seems like the worst of our 3 options, but I agree with the hand choice/sizing/postflop line if we feel playing back at his 3b's with 4b's is ever a good plan.

    Hand 2:

    Lol, this is such a "how did I get myself in this spot" hand, but I don't really know which street I play differently.

    Hand 3:

    This one's over my head.

    Hand 4:

    I don't really see why he can't have just about any of AQ/AK/QQ/55 (20 combos). I guess we're getting a good price, and surely he can't think we're bluffing here lol, so if he has all the combos of AJ/AT and folds them damn-near 100% of the time, then we make a marginal profit here. I personally just fold here, though.

    i think hand 4 you are off if you think thats the top of his range, it still might be a good jam tho it depends

    Want to see calls instead of 4bets and they actually fold as well, albeit rarely. I don't minraise a lot these days though. I usually make it 7bb vs 3bb opens (IP).

    hand 3 - I'd rather do this vs a weaker range, and not from utg vs utg+1, when they can be strong.

    hand 4 - It really depends if he's a hero caller type or not. You rep very narrow on the river. In his eyes you're repping only KKK , cause you'd barrel AK often even. If he's not a hero caller I like it.

    1 i don't like 4betting against a 6% 3b who plays otherwise loose pre (so they probably play bad post flop). you want to find yourself on rivers like this and be able to shove, but u can't do that if they only 3b 6%

    2 id jam flop, or at least raise. i think your small 3b makes them give you less credit pre, so their 4b is wider and thus they aren't as nutted as it might seem on this flop. after making a cheesy 3b pre i definitely wouldn't play if this way unless there was some other reason i thought they might be very strong

    3 id bet bigger on flop and not over bet turn. this way you can still shove river. but also there are lots of strategies you can take 99 here just be aware of balancing

    4 don't hate it. the bluff price is good but you might get more respect if it was deeper
