    Default Few 50nl hands from today

    Hand #1
    Not really sure how to play this one. FR table short handed, buy my UTG raise should still look pretty strong. V is a regular playing 18/10 overall but much more laggy on short tables (27/22 w/6 players or less). His squeeze seems like a bit of an overbet maybe not wanting a call? Shove or fold? Can't really call for set odds right?

    V is 29/5/3.5 over 250 hands. Raise this river or just call?

    Hand #3
    I don't always 3bet JJ in this spot but did because V was 35/20/7 over about 50 hands. Trying to figure out a range that plays the hand this way that I can beat on the river (only a missed fl draw?) Getting like 4-1 on the river is it a call, and should I have bet the turn?

    i don't understand why you didn't bet the turn in hand 3... it's an insta muck on the river...

    hand 1: 4 bet to 28 and get it in if he shoves.
    hand 2: just call river
    hand 3: though by default id usually bet turn, not doing so isnt that bad imo, a small mistake at most. As if you bet the turn your effectively commited and the q isnt a great card for you. As played easy river fold.

    I agree, but sometimes I just fold hand 1 pre to 3b squeeze

    I really want to fold hand 1.

    Hand 2 I just call river.

    3betting JJ here pre is pretty standard actually. Bet turn, fold river as played.

    I didn't used to think I played scared but lately I definitely am...I'm working on it though.
    Hand 1 I weakly folded
    Hand 2 was set of 6's, played strangely
    Hand 3 I payed off cause I couldn't figure out what he had (not a good reason I know). My thought on the flop was a flush draw or a T. So I checked the queen hoping to keep him in the hand if he had a T but AT was one of the hands I thought he could have so that's why the questionable decision on the river. He did have AT0.

    In the Shenandoah Valley, near Harrisonburg (James Madison University), if you know where that is.

    LMAO, my thoughts exactly. You leave a ton of money on the table by being a nit but I guess that can be good and bad at the same time.

    Hand 2 smells like a thin value bet on the river from the villain after the call/call. He probably completed. I'd probably still pay him off though, call me crazy.
