200$ NL 6max

[gsdavid]

Ok, so it has been a while..I've finally somewhat adjusted to 200s after being forced to move down for few K hands due to downswing..Here are some of the hands that I'm not sure what line to take.

#1) I have no reads on players on table, they are not regular, BB is the only one who continues with hand and has 175$..

Preflop, MP raises to 8$, only regular at table cold calls(almost always PP or SC) and i have OTB so i decide to squeeze and I raise it to 28$(32-34 would be better).BB now cold calls the raise and the other two fold

Pot 73 $, Flop 3c 4c 4d, BB leads 20$ and i decide to raise it to 60$. He quickly pushes all in for 85$ more..i need to call 85$ into 360 pot..Do i make the call with possible 6 outs(he could have a lower PP such as JJ, sometimes crazy AK AQ, but with no reads what would be your favorite line? just call the flop bet of 20$ and check/fold turn if we miss?

#2) Villian is in this hand is BB 34/25/2.6 after 47 hands but i have no special reads on him, at start of hand i have 200 and he has me covered. I'm dealt in SB (Note, table is 4 handed) only 2 players that are not blind fold, so i raise it up to 8$ and he calls


Pot 16$, Flop I bet 12$ and he calls,

Turn Pot 40$ i bet 24$ since i figure he should have another ace since board is quite dry and I want to extract as much as possible. However, he miniraises me to 48$ and i call thinking that he could be doing this with AQ AJ since my bet was somewhat weak and it is blind battle..

River is a 7, board is complete rainbow, I check and he bets 55$ into 136$ pot. Hero? thoughts on turn?


#3) In this hand I'm in MP with 200$ and CO(villian is at 31.5/5.6/0.3 after 54 hands) has me covered. I raise in MP for 8$, CO calls and SB calls too


Pot 26$, Flop SB checks, i bet 18$ CO calls, SB folds

Turn: Pot 62$ I bet 30$ since I'm not sure that my kicker is good (player doesn't seem to be too fishy) and he calls again

River: Pot 122$ hand is already quite deep for TP2nd kick i check and he bets 52$ ..so its 52$ into 230$ pot.. can i make a call and expect here flush or weaker enough times to make it profitable? do i check/call/CR turn?)
tnx

Hand1. Tough spot, most likely I would call and see what he does on turn. (read fold unimproved.) It's reraised pot and he is unlikely to lead without a PP, after the lead he is unlikely to fod to a raise.
I agree with Donki here, I would mostly call preflop. With AK OTB I am happy to see the flop and play postflop there.

Hand2. I like how you played it till the river, push the river (i.e. CR AI) and it's close to perfect.

Hand3. I'd rather check/call turn than bet it weak as you do, if I bet I would make it a normal 44-ish bet. (Can't really explain why, though.) As played call river, he doesn't have AQ most of the time, so it's a K with the same/worse kicker or a busted draw.

Hand 3, those odds are too good. Everyone's CAPABLE of:

A.) Bluffing at a pot on the river after the aggressor checks AND
B.) Thinking that a weaker King is good to bet here.

Basically, it's tough to get a free showdown with over half a stack in the middle. The temptation's there for anyone, no matter what the board or who you are. Yeah, a Station doesn't bet much, but a bad player of any sort has problems resisting this temptation almost every time it arises.
