Just finished up a $320 session. It feels good to book a win. My schedule is pretty hectic from now until Aug 13 but I'm going to do my best to get in hands. Here are a couple hands from todays session i've been thinking about:

Villain here is a pretty TAGish player. I think the 3bet preflop is good since he'll call with worse. I'm really not sure whether or not to cbet the flop. I decided to do so mostly to define villain's range. I think he'll fold most of his medium pairs since this board smashes my range. When he calls I think he has some Qs and Ks and some draws (but not that many draws since he's a TAG and called a 3bet OOP). With that said I think I basically have to shut down and fold to any bet. When all the draws miss and he leads the river, I think it would be easy to put him on a missed draw and call getting 3 to 1 but I don't think it's way more likely that he realizes our hand is 99-JJ and is trying to squeeze out value, espesially with his bet size. Thoughts?

Here Villain is 13/10 over a big sample. I 3bet but in hindsight I think flatting would be better. Against this players 4betting range I think I need to fold so it would have been better to flat and try to induce a squeeze from the blinds and then evaluate based on UTGs play.

Villain is a TAG regular who seems totally solid. I think this is an awesome flop to c/r since it smashes my range, I have equity if called and it's 3 way so my raise looks even stronger. When he calls I'm really undecided about whether or not to barrel the turn, and if so how big. At the time I thought he would have believed I had a set on the flop and folded his non monsters but now I'm thining his medium pairs might have peeled a card. I think I'm in favor of betting something like 22 that villain would feel committed him if called and then folding to further actions.
