    I would fold unless I have a read that opp is bad and overvaluates his hands.

    You showed strenght preflop and bet into four opps on a low flop. Any decent player puts you on an overpair. Villain Checked and then raised all-in after your potsized bet and a call. This is almost allways a very good hand.

    meh I'm not sure about this one. I think I fold but you see draws alot of the time if you call these mad pushes.

    Wait I know. This is a fold because MacMan knows that the shorty is gonna go all the way with him. So that means that he is very unlikely to push a draw here. So therefore you can deduce that he has a made hand and fold.

    Yep this is a fold.

    How many times have you pushed and then looked up and go "shit, there is a shortstack in this hand." The higher the limit the more Id agree with this thinking, but down here I really dont know if thats a strong enough reason to fold. At $25nl, Ive seen people bluff into dry sidepots when there is no way to get around a showdown, etc. I still probably would fold though but I think its pretty close either way without any reads. We've shown a lot of strength, its a multiway pot and we are getting played back at, opponents at these levels do pay some attention to how much strength youve shown. I dont think a call is horrible, not neither is a fold here, again, without reads Id lean towards a fold.

    Then how about this one, stupid push? I feel like maybe I'm tilting lately and trying to hit too many homeruns.

    That means a marginal hand. Easy push to try and get HU.
