no read on him yet.

1. Raise the turn, you then get to showdown for free or to value the river/push more easily and opp has to donk the river if he hits a flush. Thats my line but your is ok i guess.

2. Bet every street, the fast we get it all in the better.

3. Raise the flop. Your line is ok.

4. Nh sir, if he has the nuts cry, your bb/100 just got smacked.

5. you cant fold this, even worse he open pushed 75bbs into you with AK/QQ im thinking. Its a blind battle too (sort of) so you arent EVER folding with 150bbs or less behind.

#1: raise to 4 or 5 pre, bet flop harder, fold river

#2: 3bet to 12. Chances are good he mucks right here, AK sucks oop and you lose FE on flop. flop and turn are fine, but but again I´d fold the river. Beside the unlikely flush 33-88 all beat us and I bet this isn´t often enough TPGK/air to make this profitable

#3: villians flop-bet is quite confusing. donking this flop 4-5ish would make things easier.

#4: fine

#5: fine

Hero raises turn to $30. in hand 1

Hand 2 you have a good hand drawing to the nuts and TPTK, I bet the flop here. As played river is an easy fold, that is a plz pay me overbet.

Hand 3 is such a draw heavy flop I lead for full pot and expect at least 1 caller, never check a set on this flop. I think its ok to get all in here, but you are probably behind to a straight or flush, villain's flop overbet to me is the old "I'm going to overbet my straight, flush, or overpair" to make it look like I am bluffing" line. I think you are beat, and I just call his turn bet.

His line stinks to high hell. First we have what looks like an overbet "bluff" which is usually an awesome hand
then we have a turn underbet, which means he doesn't seem particularly concerned about a 4th heart coming out. I put his range on any 2 hearts, QQh+

I think you have to lead turn here for say $12, and just call any raise and if raised hope the board pairs.

But with a set getting all in is fine, I wouldn't worry about losing a stack here I just think his line screams monster. I tend to play a smaller pot here with flush and straight possibilities and a monsterish line.

Hand 4 is perfect, if you lost its just a cooler and ignore it

Hand 5 is fine
