    Default 50NL Spewing - some hands

    Hey guys, I really need to start being accountable to myself for how I play hands. I played a bunch yesterday and got it all in 8 or 10 times. I think I may be stacking off a little light for 50NL, people bluff a lot, but it seems usually when they're pushing they've got it. Anyway, here's a few hands, feel free to flame away.

    FWIW yesterday my stats were 19/15/3.4, though I think normally I run more like 21/16/2.5. My W$WSF was 41 (normal for me) and W$at SD was 40 (normally about 50 for me).

    Hand 1
    This hand is not how I typically play, but I have started playing back at overly aggro opps. Obviously J9s is not typically in my 4bet range, but villain here is 3betting every time I'm in a hand. My read is that he's a maniac and in there with any two. He's 3bet me at least the previous orbit and my 4bet was just to see if he'd lay down garbage. Is the call of his min-5bet spew? Flop play standard? (btw pf raise is misclick, I raise 4x from all positions)

    Let me know if this is standard, spew, or it depends. Villian is 41/10/2 over 71 hands, I have him pegged as a station.

    Hand 3
    Villian is 26/21/11.5 over 110 hands. I don't like much about my postflop play. Now that I'm looking at it, I think bet/fold is the way to go. At the time for some reason I thought a passive line might get value out of KK or QQ, but that thinking led me to calling down which I don't like. I also had a note that said the guy would lead into me if he thought I was weak.

    Hand 1: with BB in and position I'd be happy to call the 3-bet preflop. As played you can't get away on this flop.

    Hand 2; Fine. Calling with btn still behind isn't great so I like pushing flop. Of course you aren't really comfortable getting it in, but it's definately +EV and calling only leaves you in a very difficult turn spot.

    Hand 3: I do these things as well and see myself c/fing turns pretty often. I start to feel b/f flop is a lot better.

    1) I wouldn't 4 bet I would just call the min 3 bet. Postflop I'm never folding tp in a 3 bet pot.

    2) standard

    3) I don't mind this line actually.
