Opinions and suggestions

ianmc38

hand 1: with stack sizes, I'd just shove.

hand 2: tempted to fold to the minraise. I'd definitely check the flop.

hand 3: raise

Gholimoli

Hand 1:
shove.

Hand 2:
reraise pre-flop.
check flop in either case and call his gay bets.

Hand 3:
reraise again ,make it 35-40 or so.

also how you play these hands depends on what happend in the first hand and second hand.
for example if you are folding to his minraises oftne then we will min raise with nothing more often but if you are rasing him often and he folds then he may try the min raise with a stronger hand expecting you to reraise him so he can trap you.

Bandana boy

Well results
Hand 1 I shoved he called with worse fd
This was optimum here but is a call better here against calling stations long term

Hand 2 I strongly considered checking the flop and against many villains i will check call here alot
but the fact he was so willing to check call bets in the past i thought I was value betting here
I laid the hand down though as a re-raise from this guy scared me
Really not sure this was good decision

Hand 3 I pushed and he had a set of 8s which suggests to me now Hand 2 he has air

fuzzbox

whats the point in raising in hand 3?

And why do you believe that a guy who c/minraised a set, had air on a previous hand?

valor

#1 I like a shove given the stack sizes because if the turn bricks we cant really call a decent bet without any implied odds. vs a calling station and full stacks i can go either way here, our draw is so big that getting it in vs pretty much any hand is good but vs a bad player hitting and getting paid off is more +ev

#2 I check this back pretty much always, and I also fold preflop, AJo is a bad hand to be calling preflop raises with
as played, I call and see what he does on the turn

#3 I think a shove is pretty bad, and I would call and see a turn card here too
I also dislike preflop, calling raises with suited aces isnt great generally espec not 80bb deep
