    Default 200NL, a few hands

    Hand 1:
    -villain is 23/12/3.5
    -was kinda confused in this hand. Should I be raising somewhere here? Is this a clear turn raise?

    Stack sizes:
    Button: $214.35
    SB: $199.75
    Hero: $227.35

    Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is BB with
    Button folds, SB raises to $6, Hero calls.

    Flop: ($12, 2 players)
    SB bets $8, Hero raises to $22, SB calls.

    SB bets $45, Hero calls.

    River: ($146, 2 players)
    SB bets $60, Hero calls.

    Results:
    Final pot: $266



    Hand 2:
    -SB is same villain as hand 1
    -CO is 21/13/2 and is also reasonably deep
    -I haven't seen SB 3-bet preflop once yet in this whole session, and I've been raising quite often
    -is a fold EVER a good idea here, given how rare his 3-bet is, and my position between another player who is also deep?

    hand 1) i'm raising turn. as played, i call river too.
    hand 2) sick spot. i think call and hope to flop good, and check/fold when i miss. it's probably not optimal, but i don't like 4 betting preflop.
    hand 3) meh

    1.raise turn
    2.call and pray for an ace or a king
    3.This is a sick spot. I did this yesterday a couple of times and I succeded sometimes but sometimes not. I generally feel that bluffing in reraised pots is not so profitable because late in the night, I donked some money by doing that . You might as well call and see what he does on turn. If he fires again on turn, he has a enough balls that he deserves a pot. If he checks both turn and river, fire the river. It is the only way to win the pot.

    Your option is also good. Hell, I don't know what to do here.
    The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

    hand 3 ship it ALL IN
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    hand 1 - yah I flat called since I figured either two things were possible. He has a flush, in which case its likely better than mine given PF action. He doesn't have a flush, and I don't wanna blow him out of the pot. Is a call that bad?

    hand 2 - ok, so everyone at least calls here? I wasn't sure if it was +EV calling, if I know I'm only going anywhere in the hand when I hit, which is only like 25% of the time.
