I need help

I suck at poker. The call preflop was dumb but since I read him as a nit I thought I could maybe push him off of some dry flops.

I read him as a TAG nit, 14/12/3. I can't see him doing this with anything that I beat except maybe TKd, or Jd9d

AQ, no way, QKd seems unlikely, just trips seems impossible, AA or KK seems unlikely, maybe KxKd...

Lag, 25/22/6, aggressive and I felt like there are so many drawy hands he can have here.

1) God, you're only beat by QQ and 22... His range has to be bigger than that, I call.

2) Good.

3)Good. He posted a blind UTG so I think he could have a bunch of hands.

4)I might shove this... hmmmm

TBH I know hand 1 was probably bad especially looking back at it now. But at the moment I just couldn't put him on anything I beat. I know it was a bad fold...just everything told me I was fucked, his timing was very fast, he didn't even think about it, I felt his thought process was 'i have a full house, he raised me with the flush, woohoo gonna stack this guy!'

Well played all hands. I would have called nr1 though, he can have AT or a smaller flush. I don't think the fold is very bad though, go with your reads...

other than calling the first hand and taking it prison style if he has the unlikely boat i play all hands the same.

I think a boat definitely isn't unlikely (flush over flush is certainly more unlikely) in hand 1, but I'm getting 1.8:1 so even if it's 65% boat I need to call.

1) wow snap call fist pump
2) snap call fist pump
3) snap call fist pump
4) fist pump for getting 3 streets of value

1) raise flop and as played snap call.
2) snap call
3) never fold
4) yeah that sucks but played fine.

you are just getting coolered. nothing to worry about.

yeah stop being results oriented. your play in all of these was completely fine- 2 and 3 are definitely fistpumps, and you should have called 1

I would definatley call with nut flush.
Fold only in that situation if the notes would say he is very tight player!

He is a very tight player. That's why I said he was a nit. Still I can't fold there but I guarantee you he has a full house there at least half of the time if not more.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I was wondering one thing, what kind of opponent stats do you need to see to fold #2.

Not applicable since the stats that he would need to have for me to fold are low enough to a point that he wouldn't be raising 22, 66 or 88 from mp preflop.
