Lots of very uninteresting hands

I recently started playing at Party, 200NL 6Max. So far I've seen more aggressive, but also donkish play than at Prima. Because my PT database is almost empty (obv) I don't have a lot of reads so far.. I'll just post some hands and my thoughts; any comments are appreciated.

Limpraise indicates AA, but his flop push is a bit strange.. QQ would play it slower I guess.. Still an easy fold? I watched him stack off with QQ vs AA earlier, so he might overvalue big PP.

Quite a few hands here Johnny. What's your PP handle? I play 200nl on party every day so I'll be on the lookout. I've been datamining a bunch lately too. Anyways ..

Hand 1: Standard with the Ah, I'm looking to get all in on this flop too.

Hand 2: If the flop was J high instead of Q high I'd call, but you don't beat QQ or AA and JJ doesn't play it like this. He can't have AdKd so I would assume this is AA a lot. The board is pretty draw heavy and people play AA like this a lot, but they pot bet more instead of open pushing.

Hand 3: I don't think you have enough fold equity here to make betting profitable. Other than the flush draw the board isn't all that draw heavy.

Hand 4: I reraise PF vs a button raiser, you usually have the best hand here anyways. As played I don't like betting the river at all. He either has a K or some kind of PP. He is definitely calling you with either on that board.

Hand 5: Seems standard.

Hand 6: Bet the turn, the Q should not have helped his hand. My line here is to bet and fold to a raise.

Hand 7: Yeah standard.

Hand 8: Very standard without a read. I may call once and see what he does on the turn if the board was draw heavy, but on this board it looks like he has a set or a better king. I wouldn't check this flop almost ever.

Hand 9: Kind of a strange hand, when people raise huge preflop I tend to fold more marginal hands unless they start doing it a lot. If you aren't going to RR preflop then why c/r ai vs a shortstack with air? Just seems silly. Nice catch though.

Hand 10: I avoid these high variance plays, but if you want to make these plays that are very borderline be willing to accept the variance that comes with it. Nice hand though.

Hand 11: Looks good, board was very drawy so a river bet looks profitable.

Hand 1: I call his flopminraise and reevaluate turn (unless a really scary card falls I will be willing to go the felt with this hand though because I have the Ace of hearts). Mostly (but not always though!) you'll only get called by better hands when pushing allin.

Hand 2: This is QQ or AA a lot, and with the huge overbet and bad odds you are getting on your call I fold here almost everytime.

Hand 3: I mostly give up on the turn when OOP (unless I have a damn good read).

Hand 4: I dont like it at all. Stop floating OOP. This hand is different had you been in position though.

Hand 5: The hand is fine. Often I put the rest in on the turn representing AA-QQ.

Hand 6: Both leading river (fold to raise) and c/c a reasonable bet is good here. The more of a calling station opp is the more I'm inclined to lead.

Hand 7: I play it the same I think.

hand 8: Fold is fine with this dry board. checking behind on this board isnt terrible either to keep the pot small and induce bluffs with a marginal hand.

Hand 9: I reraise to 40-45 here and openpush almost any flop.As played I fold flop, I cant see how you can checkraise allin here without a read.

Hand 10: Bet more on the flop and turn, your bets are very weak and probably has a lot less folding equity. cant comment on the rest of the hand because I never run these kind of big bluffs at NL100, but you are representing a strong Q or better and with his weak river lead its an easy (?) bluffreraise.

hand 11: Nice hand if your read says he's drawing when minbetting the turn. Sometimes I just call the turn bet and draw for cheap though.

Hand 12: flop and turn looks fine, I would valuebet river here instead though, because most villains are unlikely to call an openpush on this river without the ace of hearts.

I think that you may have just a little bit too much gamble in you.

Whats yours? I'm lolYouFoldEZ. I float between 200 and 400NL.

1) Fine.

2) Ya I wouldn't like to have to do it but fold the flop. Preflop his range is basically AA/QQ/bluff, on the flop nearly all of this is ahead of you.

3) Check fold turn.

4) Same as 3

5) Fine. He has overpair.

6) Bet the turn.

7)

8) Fine.

9) I actually like this, he's up to something.

10) I like the 2nd Barrell but fold when he raises back.

11) I like.

12) Bet smaller on the river. But its easy to say that in hindsight.

hand2 is an insta fold on the flop, your beating nothing he's repping

Id have fired another bullet in hand 5. Add to that im a station at times and might have overcalled the river here....

hand7 is messy. I hate how you played this but im struggling for other lines. Can we lead here with such a multiway pot and hope to fold over cards and stuff? Id certainly have led the turn i think because id have assumed UTG had to call the flop with whateva he had. However its suspcious he c-bet into a multitude of opponents here on a rag flop. Dangerous with an overpair and downright bad with overs, but then it is party :P Why did you check the turn here btw? to c/r?

hand9. reraise preflop, possibly call a push (dunno) but push any flop if you reraise here.

Hand12. reads! If he'll bet his baby flush here on the river id check/raise but if hes smart enough to check behind with it (or tp for that matter) then id go ahead and try either a donkih bet in the hope of getting raised or a value bet. Noone is going to call that river surely

My PP handle is johnny2912. Feel free to take my money, I give lots of it away recently.

Maybe. My game feels off lately. Could be variance, bad cards, yada yada.. Played 34 (!) hands tonight at Prima 400NL and immediately got PWNED. Every single decision seems difficult lately, I can't put people on hands, make stupid bluffs etc.

Very first hand of the day. Villain is 23/15/3.5 over 2.6K hands. A raise in SB after a limper should signal strength & I didn't want to overrepresent my hand so I call. He checks the flop (3.5AF) which means he missed or hit the nuts. Let's guess it's weakness, I bet.. I feel like he was drawing at the river but I can't call obv. Could be Ax too, but why didn't he protect vs. the FD?
