Hand1:
Stacks:
Hero ($646.00)
UTG+1 ($193.16)
CO ($528.00)
BTN ($140.60)
SB ($583.30)
BB ($114.00)
Villain is running at 17/15. He plays SC and PP's vs me in position.
Pre-flop: ($9, 6 players) Hero is UTG [Js]
Hero raises to $21, 1 fold, CO calls $21, 1 fold, SB calls $18, 1 fold
Flop: [9c][4d] ($69, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $50, CO calls $50, SB calls $50
Now. I have a strong read that he cold calls here with 9x. He would probably much 7 or 4 with additional player to act. It is also unfortunate that board is dry and i cant eliminate sets from his range.
Turn: ($219, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $135
At this point we fear 9x a set and maybe sometimes 88, TT(only probable hands that I beat). Given all of this, is this a easy check, and as Xas would say, check leaning towards fold? I CR turn enough % of time for him to be at least bit weary of me(wont easily bluff me). My check on turn would mean air or monster, while this weakass turn bet is how much i would bet with a 9x or FH, even tough, 9x is kinda unlikely holding of mine.
Hand2:
Stacks:
UTG ($1335.04)
UTG+1 ($600.00)
CO ($442.80)
Hero ($600.00)
SB ($801.30)
BB ($830.50)
Pre-flop: ($9, 6 players) Hero is BTN [Jd]
3 folds, Hero raises to $21, 1 fold, BB calls $15
Flop: [Kd][3d] ($45, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $35, BB calls $35
Turn: ($115, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $85, BB calls $85
River: ($285, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks
Villain in this hand is a thinking TAG, something like 20/18/5. Reason why i opted to check was that I had a feeling that I was behind. I didn't fear 33 but I had a sick feeling he hit something big. So the question is, do i miss value in long run? He will either CR turn with a lower flush or lead river since I will check behind often with Kx here. He is a thinking player and I'm sure he is not calling here with any Jx or Kx. Only hand that he can have that calls me is QTs but I think he would CR flop with that. Is this bad in this situation, or in long run.
Hand3:
Stacks:
UTG ($612.00)
CO ($555.15)
Hero ($615.00)
SB ($594.90)
BB ($1314.40)
Pre-flop: ($9, 5 players) Hero is BTN [9d]
2 folds, Hero raises to $21, 1 fold, BB raises to $72, Hero calls $51
Flop: [5c][6c] ($147, 2 players)
BB bets $140, Hero goes all-in $543
I decided to make a play here and I'm not sure if its good. I didn't want to 4bet pref lop but i was actually waiting for a low flop to CR. He has been 3betting me a lot, enough for him to have SC, most PP's etc. My play here means AA KK QQ and 10% of time weaker PP that decides to make a stand.
