I can't really say I have a lot of faith in the way I play these hands, because I've been questioning it a lot lately, but I tend to just lead out a lot with flopped sets.

1) I like it. The flushed board at this limit with these stacks just makes me want to play faster.

2)wait a sec... you posted UTG? is this a messed up HH?
Assuming you're actually the BB, I like the flop only if MP3 is likely to c-bet. On the turn I raise more than minimum. I like 15-18 to go, it leaves an easy AI and call on the river.

When you ask about c/r AI I assume you mean the turn. I think you can show less strength and leave room for V to bluff or semi-bluff (KdQd, etc.) with that 15-18 raise.

3)me likes.
Bet/raise/reraise/AI, whatever it takes to get the money in.

3bet more pf in hand 1, especially since there is already a caller of the original raise.

I would tend to bet about $20 on the turn in hand 3, hoping that both opps call. would be a little concerned about CO flat calling the flop raise, but probably not enough to slow me down unless I had a really good read on him that this was a huge hand all the time. Without that type of a read I continue as if I am way ahead and try to extract stacks from both opps.

These hands would help if you can put opps on a range of hands. Esp. hand 2. If you can pretty reliably put EP raiser on a med-big PP and if he is somewhat aggro, you can lead, have him raise, then either lead again or CR the turn. Seems to be a more reliable way of getting stacks in.

I like...rainbow boards, slow it down until the turn brings a potential scare card. Been playing my rainbow board sets like this more lately.

The KK on a flush board...well...yeah I go broke there everytime, but only fail push half of the time

[dev]

only fail push half of the time

What does this mean?

[d0zer]

only fail push half of the time

What does this mean?

It's a phrase I just coined to mean this:

Hero raises to $58, Button raises to $68.3 (All-In), Hero calls $3.30.
