just add a colon ( : ) after each card and it should be right. right now it just says ":jc" instead of : jc: with no space in between

hand 1: i dont usually call a raise w/ KJo even on the button. Leading isnt bad here, but i would lead for 2/3-3/4 pot instead of full pot. As played do you have any stats on villain? if hes some maniac then this is fine but otherwise im not calling the AI. Villain obv likes his hand and your hand isnt strong enough here imo.

hand 2: its better to bet/fold than it is to check/call. Bet t he turn here almost always. Again i dont think you need to mash the bet pot button every time you want to bet or make a raise. Betting the full pot every time builds the pot far too fast sometimes and you are likely shutting too many villains out of pots by doing this and not letting some of the drawing hands continue. betting 2/3 still doesnt give most draws odds.

hand 3: raise pre. dont get in the habit of open limping PP's.

hand 4: i would 3bet to 3.5x villains raise here. I assume you just hit the bet pot button for your 3bet? Again, think about your bet sizes instead of just mashing the button. Its also ok to NOT cbet sometimes in a 3bet pot. I would most likely cbet this flop, but its also ok not too. On the turn, either check again unimproved or bet slightly smaller. THE BET POT BUTTON ISNT ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

hand 5: standard for the most part. Bet sizing is better.

hand 6: again, i would raise with all your PP's. It starts to build a pot so its easier to get all your money in postflop when you hit a set. Raising also gives you the initiative postflop where a cbet can take the pot down uncontested. Your bet sizing on this hand is better, but watch how you balance this because if you always mash the bet pot button when you have air or a weak hand and bet smaller with the effective nuts then smarter villains will figure it out fast.

hand 7: accidents happen. When he donks the flop so small just call it since he has nothing behind or push and gambool.

hand 1 - my KJ was suited, and villain was involved in 2 maniac hands as soon as i sat at this table. seen him raise and re-raise with air, also seen him call down to river with air all within 10-20 hands.

hand 4 - i think i did 3x his raise...

PP - you suggest raising all PP from all positions?

Thats not bad then. You said you didnt have any reads so i assumed he was unknown.

hand 4 - i think i did 3x his raise...

usually you want to 3bet to 3.5x instead of 3x especially OOP.

PP - you suggest raising all PP from all positions?

yes. raising w/ PP's in all positions helps to open up your game from a stats perspective and when villains see that you raise 22 UTG, your big hands start to get more action. Also as I mentioned raising PP's starts to build the pot for when you hit a set and also gives you the initiative so you can take down more pots w/ cbets.
