I couldn't find a hand converter that would convert these properly. Sorry!
no worries. I wasn't kidding in the other thread when I said that I think raw HHs, at least the clear ones like stars, are easier to read unconverted.

1) Villain had 3-bet a few times IP vs me but he hasn't played a lot of pots with me OOP. Do I need to just call on the river?
I think this has to be a raise on the river (fold to 3-bet) minus some crazy dynamic. Hands we lose to are A8s and slowplayed 33/66 and possibly AA. Most/all should be somewhat discounted in weighted ranges for various reasons, plus if he gets to the river with those hands his call oop, c/c c/c range is pretty wide.

If he shoves on you or similar after then you just have to give him credit because it would be a suicidal place to bluff honestly.


2) There's been lots of 3-betting and 4-betting preflop, so I was surprised to see so many flats preflop. Same goes post flop although the fact that I was in the pot might have slowed everyone down because this was probably my first multi-way post flop hand. Is there a better way to play this on any street?
Flop is an intuitive raise with such a 'strong' draw and so much dead money in the pot, but calling is probably better. The specific board texture, stack sizes, and the fact that it's a multi-way pot make this a much weaker draw than an OESD+FD would typically imply. All-in equity looks probably something like 35% (guess) vs 1 player and far worse vs varying combinations of made hands + draws in a multi-way all-in. I think it's played well all-around; maybe try to spike the jesus card () on the river.

Also just to clarify, I haven't taken into consideration the fact that you aren't able to rebuy. If simply maintaining your stack has value then favoring lower variance plays is a very real consideration, even if it usually isn't in cash games.


3) I haven't been playing many pots and I haven't been 3-betting much. I am really confused about what to do with AK preflop. Thoughts? I would be even more confused if I were OOP.
Before you 3-bet a hand you should have a very clear idea as to how you will proceed against a 4-bet. (note: I'll add that sometimes you get 4-bet to a very non-standard size, someone cold 4-bets, or something else strange happens or whatever where what I said doesn't necessarily apply but none appear to be the case in this hand).

Without much history I think preflop is fine given stacks sizes and it's my preferred way to play it.

I would also spend some time thinking about opening raise sizes. My preference is to open a bit larger in a game with antes, perhaps 4x instead of 3x or something of the sorts and I think you will see a lot of that. Button 3x is fine though; it compares somewhat to a min-raise in a game without blinds.
