All the villans in these hands run with VPIP's within 10-14
and just grind out playing the nuts.
they are actually loosers because they are to tight.
My question is should i still play for stacks when i know
that my overs are not outs.

Against the regular $2-$4 player i would have no problem playing for stacks
but against these rocks im starting to think i should get away.
knowing that i have 0 fold equity against their range, is folding such bad play?

Think about these hands before you read my next post with the results.

Is it really worth the variance if i know im against a set or over pair.

I know that AK hand im priced in. but the others id like to hear your thoughts

Hand 1: I'm stacking everytime.

Hand 2: I like a CR all in here. If he has AK then you're getting more money in, if he has a set it was going in anyway, if he has QQ or KK he may check behind fearing KK or AA.

Hand 3: If you're that sure that he's this nitty then I don't understand the flop raise after being led into (yes its a small bet but I mean if you put him squarely on a set he's pricing you in pretty well)

Hand 1: If you are pretty sure he has a set and you have no fold equity then I fold. The pot is too small to take a likely 30/70 situation. If it was a reraised pot then I would go with it.

Hand 2: Why reraise a nit with AK? As played the pot is too big and you have way too much equity against his holdings to ever fold this. He has pretty much his most likely holding here in QQ (and to make it worse he has the Qh) and you are still 47% to win.

Hand 3: Don't raise this flop unless you want to get it in. If you think its likely villain has a big hand that he won't fold (QQ+, set), then just call the flop. Also, when villain bets so small you should probably raise more than 3x as a rule.
