NL400 - couple of hands I would like to hear thoughts on..

[RedBarracuda]

I basically have no reads other then the stats..

HAND 1.
This was a really weird spot for me because I didn't expect the donk to cold call the shorty's AI after BTN 3bet... I presume I should have just shoved when action came back to me, but TBH I am really uncertain..

HAND 2.
standard? I was thinking of making my river bet much bigger.. either full pot or $170 but decided against it since I wanted value and figured that he might call a bet that looks neither big nor small given that he called my turn bet.. I guess he had something like JJ and I was kind of afraid he might fold it if my bet is to strong.. if he raised me i am obv. calling without 2nd thoughts..

I would appreciate you making comments on any and all hands here and suggesting alternative ways/thoughts on how this should be played or if this is completely std... Again, no real reads but the stats but I think that in these spots it's enough.. tx

All those seem pretty standard.

I don't mind a fold in hand 1 either, as it is likely at least one of the shortstackers has a higher pair. The best you could hope for is that they all have a bunch of broadway cards and have each others outs.

Hand 2 is a decent line to take there too. I think I would probably raise the flop more often than not, because someone who raises UTG whos PF raise % is only 11% either has AQ+ or TT+, right? You're probably not going to get any extra money from AQ, AK no matter what you do, but if you raise, he may think his overpair is good and you can get it all in on the flop. After seeing the rest of the action, I bet he has TT or JJ.

Hand 3 is standard I think. Have you seen him 2 barrel a lot?

Hand 4: Are you putting him on a draw? That is a pretty draw heavy board, so wouldn't a 3-bet be better on the flop?

Hand 1) Fold, you're behind here a lot and BTN has position on you as well and you're never going to really know where u are unless you flop a set and ur implied odds are'nt flash for chasing it.

Hand 2) Standard, river looks fine

Hand 3) I'd be more inclined to 3 bet here 3-handed depending on how active i've been, as played the lines good

Hand 4) I think you're probably behind here....19/14 flatting in the blinds is most likely small/medium PP's, dpends if he CR's here a lot? but after you call the flop he's gotta have you on a K at least, his line looks strong too me so I could prob find a fold on the turn and tell him his 66 is good. If the turn was the 9d i would like it much more.
