100NL - 3 hands from last nights session

HAND 1:

Opp was 24/18/5 over just 20 hands. I have 3-bet him out of the blinds before with KK and he folded. He seemed like a solid player and not spewey at all. My image was tight but aggressive. I planned to check the turn to induce a bluff but how often is this push ever a bluff?

I only just sat down. His bet sizing was weird but should I have found a fold here without reads?

Hand #1:
Preflop: Bet more preflop, I probably make it ~16ish.
Flop: Bet more on the flop, i think i bet like 25.
Turn: I think i prolly second barrel here although im not too sure. When he pushes, im pretty sure i call though. What kind of hand is pushing here? surly not a set/str8, and i doubt 2 pair would shove here. I think your going to see a pure bluff or a jack here most often imo.

Hand #2:
Preflop: Standard
Flop: A lot of cards like an A/K/etc can screw up your hand so i bet more like ~8ish on the flop.
Turn: I may have raised here, but i think i call is fine.
River: Standard. Hes giving you great odds so i think you have to call.

Hand #3:
I fold here, his stats are just too tight to possibly raise him here. If you have a decent sample and he is truly running 18/13/.67 I probably just ditch the jacks here with so little invested.

Hand 1). PF is fine, and i like a bigger flop bet b/c it makes getting AI on the turn easier. Also there is no reason to check since he may be floating you with 10-10 or be holding A-J. Note that with pocket pairs 8-8 - 10-10 he is probably going to check behind since his hand has enough showdown value that he doesn't need to try to steal the pot.

As played, it is much more marginal. I would fold without a specific read/note.


Hand 2). calling turn is probably best. If he lead river for 1/2 pot or more i would fold this though.

Hand 3). call flop bet/fold turn.

1: I prolly call, although I'm not sure if that's right. I think you get shown a combo draw here a lot.
2: Standard.
3: Ugh.. after throwing up a lot I'd normally call and re-evaluate the turn but I think the better play is to just stick it in the fuckin muck.

hand 1:
you're ahead. i don't think he's bluffing, but i think you have him beat nearly every time.
preflop, raise to 15+.

turn i think is an easy call. AA and KK are unlikely. all hands that beat you are unlikely. a lot more likely is TP or a combo draw

hand 2:
standard. you can't fold at any point in this hand. if anything you want to raise the turn, but a call is better.

hand 3:
i think his stats say fold. although i'm not good on stats and i need utilize them more. i would call the flop and reevaluate on the turn. either checkcalling again but probably checkfolding. but the only reason is because i suck with stats and i just can't give the hand at this point
