Thoughts on my lines please.

hand 1: spew

hand 2: villain obv. likes his hand, i shut down after the turn call. I also might be more inclined to fire on the 3rd spade river than a blank.

hand 3: raise the turn.

Bump?

i think for the stakes, hand 1 is gonna be AK, QK, JK enough here and he won't be able to let it go, they never can.
for hand 2, was there a reason behind the 6x raise from utg?

Table was >60% seeing flops, I wanna thin the field. What do you suggest I do instead?

which is why we should fold to the flop reraise. Calling the preflop reraise is fine since we are in position and its a min-raise. Calling the flop raise is just spewing money unless you have a *very* good read on villain.

Hmm didn't have a dynamite read per se but we had some history, I was just floating to see if he could fire twice. I was shutting down unimproved obv but after the turn check I thought it'd be checked down then I made two pair. Anyway, he calls and I win. He obviously got married to his K or whatever.
