A few spots in 25NL

Here obviously our hand looks great, but do we beat anything here? He donks the flop so I put him on pocket pairs, but given how he plays the later streets am I wrong to assume his pair beats mine here?

Villain runs 18/10/3 over a 200 hand sample. Has a very low 3bet % (though the sample is a bit small for this). I assume he's only making moves like this with KK+.

Here villain runs 18/8/3.5 over 300 hands. I assumed with QQ+ villain here 3bets into us preflop, wheras Qx type hands fold the flop or at the least don't lead the turn. Are we right to assume we're ahead and call the bet?

I really like villains line in the first hand with a really wide range. I really wish you had called so I could see!

I like the theme play passively, get into funky spots!

Hand 2: you thought he'd only 3 bet pre with KK+ so you flat to chase a set, then call the flop because you have an overpair, then fold the turn because he again has KK+?

Hand 3: what do you raise the turn with?

I used to lose a lot of money 'just to see' :P

I have a small sample so I can't solely rely on the 3bet stat when we're preflop. When he gets shoving on the turn then I can assume he has KK+, yes?

I guess I should have raised here, but I didn't think villain had a hand.

1) I fold turn. We're not calling down and are unlikely to have much equity now.

2) Kinda gross but I don't have a better idea

3) EZ, I raise turn. I think he has a 6, so I'd probably fold to a 3bet push (because then I don't think he has 6 anymore)

looking at it now, I think you should have turned your hand into a bluff on the turn. You can't get value out of worse hands without 2 hero calls and you can get a fold since it's really obvious that you're never folding + any hand sans an A or quads figure they're drawing dead. Quit when called.

I can't say honestly, but did you consider repopping him preflop or on the flop? Something tells me 4 betting him pre is just not part of your game

I didn't say you should raise, I'm just asking if you're not raising JJ what are you raising? or if you can play this hand all over again, what's the worst hand you'd like to raise the turn with?

hand 1... why aren't you 4 betting?

i think you mean hand 2

yes.

I sometimes 4bet pre with QQ but it usually boils down to betting for information when I 4bet with a hand like that. At 25nl I find the only hands that stay in after I 4bet are KK/AA. Here I have position and I want to keep lesser hands in the pot, I guess.

Probably something like 88/99, looking at it now. I don't think I raise 6x. As played, are you calling the river? Our line here is passive so he could attempt a bluff, right?

Shouldn't you be 4 betting with a lot more air then?

What better hand would possibly fold if we tried a river bluff?

I think u misread Rilla, looks like kebabio is saying that villain could be bluffing river in hand 3 which is why it's a call?

Also, villains line in hand 2 blows my mind. POT ODDS: DENIED! Alas, i have nothing constructive to add beyond that since I've never played full ring

i like clicking the buttons

couldn't read the hands.

In bold the word "Saw Flow" appeared..

I couldn't figgure out what the "flow" was.

I'm not entire certain hero was playing poker if he "saw... flow..."

I can't see the flow maybe that's why i r not a winrar
