    Default Not so tough session, but lost again

    I had another small session today, -1 BI unfortunately.
    These were the interesting hands, for me.

    Hand 1
    On the flop, all options were open from me, but folding seemed kind of weak.
    I also feel like I misplayed this, but actually don’t really know.

    I expect the c-bet to be standard? What do I do to his raise and what’s the turn plan?

    Hand 4
    Villain was 32/11/3.3 over 62 hands.
    I actually like 3-betting preflop more, but calling is fine as well.
    Flop I actually have no idea what to do and why.
    As played my plan was to c/c flop and c/f most turns. But playing like this feels so weak.
    How the hand turned out I really have no idea on the river. Would a blocking bet be ok?

    Hand 6
    My flop call is certainly debatable and not standard for me, but I expect him to have a draw or weak made hand I can get him of almost always, so I gave it a shot:

    1) What do you know about him? The preflop call is quite loose. I wouldnt make it very often without a specific reason.

    Post flop isnt that bad. You cant fold to the minraise shove with so much in the pot.

    Every thing involving a fold sucks because if we want to fold here we should have done preflop.

    Everything involving putting money in and then calling, or check/calling sucks because we lose any FE we might have had and we have 0 implied odds when we hit.

    I dont really like bet/3bet allin because the flop hit his range really hard, and hes short enough that he probably doesnt fold AA/KK anyway. So basically if we lead hes folding stuff like 77/78s, and getting it in with AA/KK/QQ/JJ/TT/AK/KQ/QT/TJ/QJ anyway.

    I think c/r and b3b are about the same except we get an extra cbet alot when we checkraise. Everything else sucks.

    2) I just check/fold the turn. There arent many draws he could be semibluffing. Hes too unknown at this point to just decide he has air. As played I think you have to call the river because its so small. He could have Jx.

    3) Again he is too unknown to start playing about with underpairs. He could have a flush draw here but if he does he probably has an overcard to go with it leaving us not far off a coinflip. Or he could have a Q or a set leaving us screwed. I dont want to tangle with underpairs against relatively tight relatively unknown players. Fold.

    4) Id usually c/r the flop because his cbet looks weak and most raising ranges didnt hit that flop too hard. The turn isnt a bad card to bluff since his range is

    usually overcards, sometimes overpairs, very occasionally flush

    Hes going to fold most overcards, probably slow down with overpairs and may fold weaker ones and obviously stick with the flush.

    If you check the turn and he checks behind then you have to call a bet on most non-diamond rivers. Id still fold as played though.

    5) I like the idea but your raises are too small. If you raise the turn it needs to be to $3.50 or $4. I probably raise the flop but I sometimes call down and raise any card T or higher. In my experience once he calls the turn raise and the river isnt a scarecard (T+) hes almost always calling the river too so Id just call the river and hope he has a flush draw or 22 or something.

    6) This isnt too bad but its not great. Id expect 9x or a flushdraw alot here. With position we can bluff alot of overcards when he checks but since we are out of position he cant really show us weakness to let us take it away. Shoving into him on an overcard is alot more dangerous. As played we obviously cant fold the turn.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.
