    himself fucker.
    Hand 1, got to. Turn card is good. But I just 3 bet him preflop.

    Hand 2, seems like a set. way to open limp, fish.

    Hand 3, pure pot odds call preflop? post flop screams "I'm bluffing because look at what you're doing." I just check-call again with the flushy draw and take my pot odds.

    Hand 1& 3 seem pretty standard
    Hand 2 is pretty good I guess cause its very hard for him to continue, but could vary depending on this guy. I don't see why he would have a set, thats for sure.

    Looking thru my DB I realized I've stopped c/r very much at all the past couple weeks, which has to be a leak.

    1. good.
    2. seems less good, depending on how bad villain is. I think if you fire lots of rivers the turn is ok.
    3. good.

    1. OK
    2. Depends on how he has been doing during the whole game.
    3. OK

    Hand 1 - I like this hand, and I like the turn bet cause the flush scare card got there

    Hand 2 - I'd need reads to continue here (asin: villain calls/peels flop raises but folds to turns etc). There's a good chance he puts you on a club draw/pair+insider type hand so you might get peeled here with a wide range.

    Hand 3 - meh don't like this too much. I'd peel you here with my entire range of anything on the flop probably. You're repping only a flush draw and possibly a straight draw and a very small part of your range is trips. If villain is good, he should be bombing over your turn lead a lot as only Khxh will be happy on the turn. I prefer a c/c on this kind of flop to balance with your mid pairs (which I'd imagine you'd be c/c with?)

    I basically only continue if the board helps my perceived range, my actual hand or pending reads.

    My line is exploitive as I think his flop bet is super-weak and many loose players peel raises very light because they already put in some money on that street.

    BTW, for the results oriented all 3 opponents folded to my turn aggression. In the second hand he ran his timer a bit, then left the table.
