need some help again - thanks in advance!

hand 1

let me save you the trouble - "fishstick - you're a dumbass!"

i know, i know... but at what point should this have been a dump? i'm thinking i should have folded to his flop raise - i knew i was beat but just couldn't make myself do it. the way i see it, i wasted 2.5 BB on this. at least i got AA again ~20 hands later and it paid off nicely.

hand 2

different game. MP2 has been seeing 72% of flops, and i've seen him stay to the river with overs and no pair a number of times. he's also annoying me because he'll raise preflop with just about anything from any position (UTG with 22, 46 suited etc).

so i decided to try to isolate him and push. after this hand, there were 3 times he raised UTG (when i was in the big blind) and it got folded around to me, and 3 times i reraised with whatever i held. each time, he'd either fold then or fold to my bluff flop bet.

hand 3

nothing real interesting here. it's the same LAGGY calling station on my left from the last hand, but he's getting sick of me pushing him around. he's backed down a lot preflop, but i know he's itching to push. and sure enough, he raises me again.

so, i say out loud (to the cat) "just give me a f**king 3" - and the poker gods comply!
