Good idea/Bad idea? ($1-$2)

    All $1-$2 mostly full ring on Mansion. My image on all tables would be that I'm a pretty active aggressive player but I'd rarely show down any garbage hands.

    Hand 1

    Villain in this hand has played with me a lot. He is very good and is smashing up these stakes on Mansion lately. He knows me quite well and knows my range when playing position and punishing limpers is quite wide. I haven't played with him in a week but my most recent note on him says that he seems to be targeting me a lot.

    In this hand It's only the 3rd i've played at this table. CO+1 limps, CO limps, I pop it to $12 on the button with A-9o. villain pots it to $42 from the SB. Folded back to me and I shove for $160 more and he covers.

    Good idea/Bad Idea?

    Hand 2

    I've played with the villain in this hand a bit but I've no note on him which probably means he's tight preflop. Other than that I don't really know how he plays.

    In this hand he's in second position and makes it $10 to go. I call right beside him with 7-7. BB also calls. Flop is J-T-3 with 2 diamonds and one spade. We all check. Turn is the 2 of clubs. Both check to me and I bet $20 into a $31 pot. Folded to the preflop raiser who makes it $60 and has $110 behind. I shove.

    Good idea/Bad Idea?

    Hand 3

    I've played this guy heads up for about 10 minutes and he got the better of me for $50 thanks mainly to one pot where I slowplayed trips but then folded to a river shove as he probably made an overhouse on the turn. He seems very agro. Doesn't seems to check or call at all just raise, reraise.

    A new player joins the table. after a few minutes the villain raises from the button to $8. I reriase to $25 fromt he SB with AQo. this is the 3rd time ina row I've done this 3 handed. He shoves all in! I have $170 behind.

    Calling is a really REALLY bad idea right?

    Hand 4

    Cutoff is new to the table but the button is the same villain in Hand 3.

    CO raises to $7. Button makes it $24. I cold call in the SB with pocket aces. CO calls.

    Flop J-2-3r. We all check. Turn a 4. I check. CO bets $38. Button folds. I call. River a 4. I go all in for $119 and he covers.

    How did I play this hand?

    hand1- would he really be doing this to you from the SB? id just fold.

    hand2- i dont like. I just check behind on the turn.

    hand3- If i 3bet AQ here again, I would prob be doing it with the intention of calling a push. Depends how tiltable he is. calling isnt terrible if you think hes getting pissed off and doing this with AT.

    hand4- i dont like any of it. raise preflop, bet flop etc etc.

    Hand 1 I do all the time against someone with a wide 3betting range from the blinds. I think its ok. I'd prefer 78s though sometimes as we'll often be called by a dominated ace.

    Hand 2 Hate it

    Hand 3 Call is fine sometimes. Depends on the person. I dont put my chips in with AQo without a very specific read or history so i think that decision is something onyl you can make based on the flow of the game and your read.

    Hand 4 I'd probably reraise preflop but i like the hand as played.

    No PT stats?

    Hand 1: Not a huge fan
    Hand 2: I would like it if I knew more about villain
    Hand 3: I would need to know that he's capable of shoving light before I called here.
    Hand 4: I prefer CRAI on turn.

    Hand 1:
    Might be good for the image but thats about it. I'm folding this to his raise. If he's targetting you then it shouldn't be hard to find a better spot.
    Hand 2:
    With the amount in the pot its not too bad as you only need them to fold half the time. If he's tight post flop as well then I think he's probably going to need something decent to call.
    Hand 3:
    If he thinks you are at it then he could be doing it pretty light but I think its too much to be worth calling here.
    Hand 4:
    I really don't like slow playing aces but when you do it you have to do it like this so that it is very well disguised. It looks like the perfect board to do it as the only hand you can really think the CO has that has you beat is JJ and he's probably calling with a good few hands other than that. If you think he is capable of a hero call with AK then nice play! Unless they did have JJ then I assume it turned out well this time but slow played aces rarely find themselves on such a forgiving board come the river.

    Hand 1: He folded. Probably not the greatest spot to push by me but I mean there Is $60 in the pot already and this guy just loves reraiseing me so I wanted to put my foot down early in the session.

    Hand 2 Can't believe no one thinks this is an easy push. What the hell is he slowplaying to the river against two players on this flop? ****ing notihng is what. He folded and probably had AK/AQ.

    Hand 3 Horrible call. He had AK.

    Hand 4 He called with 99.

    Cardshark: Mansion is not compatible with PT yet.

    I'm familiar with this move and would say that overall it has cost me more $$ than it has won me. I would rather it if your PP made up some sort of gutshot draw maybe. Like 77 on a board of 5 6 Q 9 or the like.
    I admire your large genitalia however

    I think they are all OK-ish, although they are all marginal.
