    1) he looks like he has nothing, not even QX. You beat nothing, and he never calls w/out trips+

    2) who open limps AK? I bet turn, like $25 leave PSB behind for river. I guess betting less to bring along a dead-drawing 2 diamonds would be goot.

    3) well, what can you do? But you did give 22/33/99 implied odds to call you PF.

    The two shorties certainly do not have implied odds and it's very thin for the big stack.

    hand 1: i dont raise here. Because im not sure he didn't bet two high cards on the turn. Although I like how you're thinking, the overbet actually may always get a fold, but you'll see a lot of cry calls.
    Hand 2: My rule is when in doubt of whether to be tricky or build a pot, bet. you're beating a shitload of his range.
    Hand 3: Just bet like 3/4ths pot.

    1) It was his $7 bet on the river that sent "I can take this one" bells off.. generally when Ive seen villain bet the same amount on two streets is been weak weak weak.

    2) Yeah I guess I should have bet, but i figured if he was bluffing he aint calling a bet, and if he had the hand then it'd go in on the river anyway, so let him bluff with Kx?

    3) Just.. ugh.

    You aren't repping anything but he probably won't realize that so not bad.
