Always get the money in right? I know this is a common setline, too obvious for 200nl? Should I ever be worried about the flush here?

Is he really 3 barreling here? Raise to what for value or play it safe? Villain has been hyper aggressive and built a big stack, seems like he either has the nuts or air in a lot of pots. I got a little paranoid when the board paired and probably underplayed my hand.

Ughh. I don't feel like I can call this, even though villain easily has 66 here



It seems like:
- Cbetting frequently has less value. It seems like while 3 betting AK and cbetting a dry flop used to get 55 and 66 to fold, now they call you down. I feel like I get more value by not 3betting AK And AQ and 3 betting PPs and weird hands like J10s. I know everyone 3bets AK but it seems like a lot of people assume I have AK/AQ when I 3bet, and often re-raise me with PPs.
- Betting your good hands has more value.
- People will call you down with pocket pairs WAY more
- Position is worth a LOT more.
- There is a lot more aggression, re-raising, and bluffing.
- I should never limp anything except in the BB or SB limpers behind.

I don't feel like I am being particularly tricky, just not really spewing, playing Scs in position, raising PPs, etc.

21/14

there have been a couple players that really had a bead on me, I just noted them and moved tables.

soooo I am up 1K and I know I hit some hands but should I stick around? I'm not really rolled for it, but it seems to be going OK. It's definitely been a more fun brand of poker to play now that I really can count on opponents thinking, cept for the shorties who are much less frequent.
