Why am I so passive out of position?

UTG is 27/22/4, no other reads except that I know he opens 22 (so probably all small pockets) UTG. Is this ok? Sometimes I feel like I play way too passively OOP.

In general I dont think being passive OOP is too bad, but theres probably a bet/raise in there somewhere. Definately lead the river.

because you have a bluffcatcher in a multiway pot that the UTG player opened. show us a hand where you did something questionable.

Okay, well I thought my play was questionable, but I guess not, good to know. You don't think I'm missing value from 66-TT? I'm not used to thinking of JJ as a bluffcatcher, thanks.

Here's another hand where I thought I played questionably OOP,

Villain was 47/14/1 with a flop cbet of 100% over 168 hands, the only logic behind the donkbet is that I'm trying to widen my donkbetting range beyond just nut hands, but now that I think about it I should probably be balancing that with air. I also don't want to check and face the cbet that I know is coming. If he's cbetting this flop 100%, which he almost definitely is, do you think I can c/c or c/r profitably?

On the turn I figured he would bet if he had made trips and I could get away from it. Since he checked I thought most of his range was worse K's so I thought b/f was good on the river, but maybe I should have called such a small raise? c/c seems better now too.

with those reads you should be excited to check/call. this is the opposite of a time you would want to merge your leading range. the board is dry and you have very good equity against his cbetting range.

nuts surely leading the river in hand 1 for $14-16 is good?

valuebetting here against someone who isnt a retard is actually pretty thin even though we are ahead most often. if i were to bet, id want to bet an amount that made ace high more likely to call

Does anyone 3-bet hand 1?

why in the world would you lead the KQ hand

This is a situation I get confused with a lot too. It seems like we are ahead but if we 3-bet not many hands we beat are calling/4betting.

yea I'd squeeze here at teh old 6maxerz but I could go either way really

I dont, because I dont want to play JJ OOP in a 3-bet pot.

yeah, it was a slip up, sometimes I try to take lines that make no sense but it never works out so I'm going to stop doing it unless I know my opponent is thinking deeply enough.

I'd surely lead hand 1 on the river for half pot or so. Besides that I think you played it fine.

Hand 2 I'm never leading flop. But now you did, I think you're overrepping your hand by leading this river again after turn check. QJ got there as well, which makes calldowns by worse K's even less likely.
I think a turn lead on this specific turn might be better.
