Very sweet post Sauce. I think I can learn a lot from the last part about merging ranges and planning out lines etc..

As far as these hands, they're all extremely marginal/gross. I agree tha tbetting the turn makes it easier, but either way it's one of those things where there is no clearcut answer anyone can give you and it's a feel based thing. I usually puke and call in a lot of these spots, but I'm also not making any monies in poker right now.

As far as the AK hand I probably don't bet here. And if I bet it's an overbet pricing myself in.
