Three tricky hands 200nl - zomg

[aislephive]

Hand 1: Villain in this hand is 35/12 over 100 hands, he got his stack when on a KT9xx board he set his opponent all in and his opponent called with KJ, Villain had AA and won the hand but it makes me think he overvalues his hands a bit. This hand is pretty standard I think? Comments on all streets appreciated. Is a river call here standard?

Hand 2: Villain in this hand is 25/7 over 150 hands and very, very passive. His cold call preflop I thought was TT-KK. On the flop when I bet out and he called I figured I was in bad shape, this is a standard c/f, right?

First hand, why check-call the turn? If he overvalues hands, he probably isn't folding top pair or a straight draw. Just value bet or check-raise. What was your plan in check-calling? Leading a safe river card? When that river falls, and he comes out betting again, I think you probably have to fold. He checks behind with basically anything you beat, and bets everything else.

Second hand, the board is terrible for your hand, especially given preflop action. Check-fold is probably best on the turn.

Third hand, easy fold. Pot is small, you're at best a coinflip, but probably well behind.

1) Why are you not betting the turn? If I check this turn, it's with the intention of cr'ing, not c/c. I mean, you say this guy over-values top pair type hands. Get the money in! As played, I'd probably call the river.

2) I'd probably fold given your read of him being passive. That turn card is terrible. I'd also bet more on the flop, around $60.

3) Fold probably, but I love to bust shorties, so I'd probably push.

Hand one bet the turn again since your OOP. Its not the prettiest board, but his hand range is pretty wide here. If you were in position a check behind would be ok since you could control the pot size and not him. Anyways, bet the turn and fold if he raises. If he cold calls the turn either block bet the river, check/call, or check/fold. I'm not sure which is best, I guess it just depends on the opponent. Edit - I am an idiot, dsaxton is right, checkraise the shit out of him on the turn.

Hand two bet more on the flop. Check and folding the turn is OK because the board fits every hand but yours considering his hand range. Only thing you're ahead of is AK which is very possible considering his weakass turn bet.

Hand three is a fold. Sure, he's only a half stack and they are fish but when they have something shitty they usually just push allin into small pots. I think he's trying to draw you in with a bigger hand. As it is, he's either a coinflip or way ahead of you. On top of that, you don't yet have much invested in the pot. Do you have results on this one?

Hand one, I don't really see much difference between calling and folding, actually. I didn't notice how big the pot was in relation to his bet. I might just call this to get a better read on his hands in the future.

Hand 1: I didn't really want to check raise since there weren't really any draws besides 45 (which of course got there on the turn). I think a check-raise on the turn is really ugly for the fact that I could see a showdown for the same price as check/calling the turn+river as well as inducing a lot of worse hands to play back at me. The other alternative is leading the turn, which I think in this case is the best play, since I don't think he sticks around with a one pair hand with a second barrell on the turn I could safely check/fold the river or check/call a small bet. I did end up calling due to the fact that I had played it very tricky and may have induced a bluff, and I was getting about 3.5-1 which means I don't have to be right very often to make it a good call. Unfortunately, he flipped up pocket eights for rivered quads.

Hand 2, with my read on this player I just mucked, the Q was a scary turn card but not really, he wasn't the type of player who would cold call a raise and a reraise with KQ or AJ (not to mention calling the flop with a gutshot). I put him exactly on TTT or KKK, with a small chance of AK. So I think I made the correct laydown.

Hand 3: I figured he would have AK a large portion of the time with his big reraise, and that the dead money would make up for the occasions when he had a bigger pair. So I pushed, he called with AK and not that it matters but I lost the race.
