1) Both players were pretty aggro so far, was hoping to flop something big and hopefully stack off. is leading out the best? c/c? c/r?

#1 leading out is fine, flop hits a good portion of btn´s range. dont risk giving out a free card. c/r would be a line too strong to get paid off in btn vs blinds. nh.

#2 is and awkward spot. I hate these weak ass minraises. Given his stats he is very well balanced JX/77/55/68/diamonds/air and I like how u played it

#3 You must be running extremely bad. Everytime you consider folding top boat an angel loses his wings.

lol ya....20 buyin downswing messes with your mind.

although i didnt consider folding it for anymore than about 0.2 seconds. was just wondering if any other sane people would do it.

Hand 1: I think it's played best this way. Check/raising really tips off your hand.

Hand 2: Fold to 4-bet.

Hand 3: That's lol and it's lame that you even posted.

Hand 1) fold pre. If they really are aggro, then let them bet the flop to check-call. Depending on turn card either lead out or wait for the big check=raise.

Hand 2) Raise more pre. As played fold. You only beat middle pair or a draw, and I don't think you're against a draw here.

Hand 3) Bet the flop. And never fold this hand.
