    I just really hate barreling vs stations when I'm still drawing since we rarely have enough fold equity. The thing with betting 60% is I expect him to continue with Ax, 8x, Tx, any hand with 2 spades, 99, 77, etc. By c/jamming we get him to fold 8x, (sometimes) Tx, 77, 99, anything he floated flop with that can't improve now (Js9c, etc). Obviously, I don't expect him to bet all of his middling hands all the time, but hey, fish can take stabs too.

    When he bets, he's rarely folding imo, and we need very little FE to make a turn bet of .60 profitable.

    c/c'ing is better than jamming with the price yer getting.

    "I'm cash poor irl, since I'm also in the process of moving out of my parents house (I'm 20) and into my own apartment (for the 2nd time -_-)"

    This part I don't understand. If you don't move out then you will not be cash poor? So stay with your folks while in school if they don't mind. I know it's a pain in the ass to be 20 years old and living with your folks but it's better than being cash poor. If you must move out because school is out of town then find something closer so you can stay with your folks.

    You probably don't want to hear this but my advise is:
    Stop smoking that shit. If you stop then how much money will you save?

    $1k in 70 days is def possible, especially for you.

    In my experiecne dude, there's a reason certain people are unmotivated, lazy and ambitionless and that's weed. I know you say you can still function on it normally etc etc but I kinda doubt that it has no effect on these feelings of lethargia, laziness etc etc that've been plaguing you. I really think you'd be happier, more successful and more focussed on getting what you really want out of life if you stopped smoking weed every day. Smoke a spliff at parties, whatever, I'm not saying don't have fun. But in my own experiecne, and in the expereicne of anyone else I've ever know that's taken weed as a way of like, it's stagnated their progress and trapped them in a cave where nothing ever gets achieved and they wake up only once every few weeks or so and think "shit what am I doing?" It's a fun drug in moderation, but seriously as a way of life, it's a peice of shit and really bad for you.

    Having said that, here's my take on these 3 hands.

    1. If he's peeling the flop as lightly as you think there's gonna be a ton of underpairs, and junk that he can fold to a turn bet. You have so much equitees you can just barrel here and need not many folds. The c/jam is pretty horrid since he checks backthe turn with a good amount of the hands he folds to a shove here, defo c/c as played.

    2. Yah jam turn, his turn calling range is a lot wider than his river calling range given the stupid pair + heart hands he can't fold turn with then the times he folds non flushes on h rivers.

    3. Obviously a snap.
