This entry is going to just be 6 more hands I went over from last night's session. For anyone out there looking to improve, going through hands is an awesome way to practice thinking about the game on a deeper level.

Villain here is 40/2. The flop and turn are standard since he's calling with so many hands. When he leads the river that big, I wasn't sure whether to call or raise. At the time I figured he can very well have a boat so I just flatted but thinking about it now all of his 2 pair + hands probably would have raised the turn to protect on such a drawy board. If he has less than 2 pair on the turn he can't have a boat now so I think I wouldn't mind shipping trying to get a call out of a Q, a K or J9. At the same time, I don't hate checking back since he is a fish and so doesn't have to raise me on the turn with QT etc.

Same villain here. Again I spike the turn and this time he raises me. I decided to call thinking that no matter what size I reraised it would looks so strong. If I re-raise shove, a weaker player is going to be scared of losing all his money and if I re-raise small it looks like I must have a flush and be trying to bait him into calling. He also can't have a pair + NFD since I have the Ah. Any river bet he makes will commit him so I still like my chances of stacking him. When he checks to me on the river I decided to go with a just under pot sized bet. I didn't want to leave him with no money but I wanted to get a lot of value out of his 2 pair hands. My hand also kind of looks like I have just the Ah. I doubt he's thinking like that but either way I expected to get called a lot. When he folds I have no idea what he had. Thoughts?

Here villain is 23/18 and quite aggressive. I flat his 3bet in pos and once again spike the turn. When he leads in to me on the turn I think he's just trying to pick up the pot sensing that I showed weakness checking back the flop. His 3betting range is so wide here that I thought he has mid pocket pairs and a bunch of crap that could take this line. Against a tight player I would have shoved this turn trying to rep TJ or equivalent and expect to get called a lot by broadway hands. Against this villain though I wanted to give him another street to bluff if he was bluffing. He checks to me on the river and I bet really small hoping to induce a spazz. He timed for a while and then folded so don't know if he found a really tight fold or just mucked 88. There might also be more value in betting 55 on the river and just trying to get value out of his Kings.

This is the same villain as last time again. Here I flat a 3bet OOP with AA. It's not a line I take very often but I thought the short stack might 4 bet shove or call the 3bet both of which are good options for me. On the flop I check/shove hoping he will think I only rep a set and am thus probably bluffing and call me light. Is there any merit in calling the flop and check/shoving turn?

Here's a hand I was pretty proud of. Villain is quite tight and we are fairly deep. In the past, in spots like this I would have c/c flop and then been lost until the river, ensuring I get owned by AA and KK (which are definitely in his range). Instead, however, I decided to c/r the flop. He's never going to try to re bluff me as a tight player when we are this deep and it lets me find out right now where I am in the hand. If he shoves over me I can fold but if he calls I can bet/fold most turns and get calls from stubborn JJ/88/99.

My thought process is similar here to the last hand. Villain is really aggressive and 3betting me a ton so I flat 88. This is a flop that misses a ton of his range but rather than flatting and getting lost I raise small forcing him to make a decision for his whole stack oop. Since we are a bit deep I can happily fold to a shove.

About to play another session and hopefully own some souls.

Peace
