    Default 50NL - 2 almost standard hands + 1 bonus hand

    Hand 1:villain seemed aggressive, but only 10 hands

    Hero ($47.75)
    SB ($44.50)
    BB ($21.25)
    UTG ($34.05)
    MP ($59.45)
    CO ($116.05)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with T, 8.
    3 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, SB raises to $3.5, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.

    Flop: ($7.50) T, 9, 7 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $5, SB calls $5.

    Turn: ($17.50) T (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $10, SB raises to $36, Hero ???

    Hand 2:

    Hero ($48.50)
    SB ($84.35)
    BB ($22.85)
    UTG ($31.45)
    MP ($60.75)
    CO ($117.80)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 5, 6.
    UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.50, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($2) 9, Q, 4 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $2, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $2.

    Turn: ($6) A (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4.

    River: ($14) 8 (2 players)
    UTG bets $4, Hero raises to $25 (puts villain all-in)

    pre-flop I'm calling to play my position. Thoughts on river push?

    Hand 3:

    Hero ($80.20)
    Button ($65.65)
    SB ($23)
    BB ($18.25)
    UTG ($57.75)
    MP ($122.65)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with A, Q.
    UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2.5, 1 fold, SB calls $2.25, BB calls $2, UTG calls $2.

    Flop: ($10) 6, A, J (4 players)
    SB checks, BB bets $4, UTG calls $4, Hero raises to $15, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $11.

    Turn: ($44) 2 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero checks.

    River: ($44) 5 (2 players)
    UTG bets $20, Hero folds.

    I wanted to isolate on the flop, turn is scary and there isn't much left behind. River looks like a straight up value bet, I'm thinking AJ, maybe 66 more than the flush. Any thoughts on this hand cuz it seems kinda bad?

    hand 1: fold. You don't really have any draw because if he has you beat you're straight won't be any good.

    hand 2: i wouldn't push, i'd raise to 16.

    hand 3: good fold.

    Hand 2) Is fine given that hes a shortstack donk
    Hand 3) i play the same.

    In hand 1, what does villain re-raise with that beats us here? TT, ATs, 99. All those are kinda unlikely 3 betting hands at 50NL. I also see his 3 bet is small, so he may not be a solid player.
    I am inclined to pay off this guy if he has been real aggressive since he sat at the table. I think he may be overplaying AA or KK here.

    Absent those reads, I would likely fold.
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    hand 1 : pooooooooooosh (if he flopped a set good for him he's prob an idiot "slowplaying" an overpair with a big club)

    hand 2 : fine

    hand 3 : Why isolate on the flop? What does this accomplish? (there may be something obvious I'm missing but it seems to me you set yourself up to win a small one or lose a big one here...)
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    btw to ppl saying "fold hand 1" what hand do you put villain on? Flopped flush?

    I think the problem is that almost any genuine hand that check-raises you on the river beats you - a set, a flush, (a ten or J8/68 are pretty unlikely given the PFR).

    Hmm, as I type that, I realise that a nervous overpair (fits with the PFR) might well choose to play this way - they didn't like the flop so they checked, then they think you're either c-betting or have a flush draw, they don't think it's likely you have a ten. It's ugly but it's certainly possible - the overbet could indicate they're scared of the texture rather than holding a monster.

    Amazing how many times you can change you mind when studying a hand history
