Hand 4

Hand 1. Unless he's got something like 36, 68 your hand is still good, make the idiot with overcards pay for his stupidity. If you get raised dump obviously. I think a set would raise here and not the flop since its so dry.

Hand 2. Why are you giving up the lead? Do you have any specific reads that the villain limp calls weak A's? Shoulda fired that flop and if called slow down the turn. Otherwise your giving the villain a chance to hit a set or 2pair or w.e

Hand 3 - I dont hate folding to a PSB. Against an Unknown on the river. with a board like that. Could easily be a set hoping to CR you on the turn and since you didnt bet he has to big bet the river. Or something like 98, 87, or any AQ+ that thinks you have air on the flop.

1) he's got like $2 behind so not folding to raise
2) i thought it was pretty standard to c/c with KK on Axx boards. If I bet I'm getting called by all the Ax, which people sometimes have. Obv, I'm not calling off my stack. Also people blow at value betting, so cheep showdown shouldn't be a problem.
