    Default Some 200nl hands.

    Some bluffs, some calls, tell me what you think.

    Hand 1: This player and I had gone back at each other in a few pots, so I thought there was a decent chance he had a modest hand, I had been playing very LAG to this point, so I called his reraise with position thinkin I could outplay him postflop and if QJs can hit a lot of good flops to semi-bluff with as well as looking for trips/two pair. Raggedy flop and he makes almost a pot-sized bet, I really didn't think he was looking to get called so I stuck in a raise knowing that if he has overs he has to fold. I play my sets the exact same way BTW. Villain definitely seemed like a decent player.

    Hand 2: Villain in this hand is very donkish. Limps a lot and calls raises a ton, as well as being pretty much a calling station post-flop. I had taken a few pots from him and I checked the flop to induce a bluff on the turn, but he checked the turn as well so I threw out a weak looking bet which he called. On a blank river he leads for half pot, easy call right? I thought so.

    Hand 3: Villain just sat down a little while ago, doesn't seem to be a very good player, lots of limping and limp-calling raises etc. When I lead this flop he instantly min-raised me, and I have yet to see somebody with a big hand do that to me so I put in a third raise to put him to the test. Thoughts?

    the only thing i wouldnt do is raise to 66 on the last hand, i would probably make it closer to 90

    Hand 2 : this is only thing I have tough time understanding... U "play your sets exactly the same way" but if you have a set here you're either sitting on a boat or quads. Why would you speed up the action? Thinking lagg prob puts you on 99-qq at best right? I am guessing he has been doing a lot of reraising preflop so his range is pretty big... You're welcome for rambling pointless reply
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
