I agree with the 77 hand, I wasn't happy with how I played it - the only real justification for stacking off there was that I'd never seen the guy and that he had built up his stack by calling down with any pair when people were trying to get him off his weak hands.

Q9ss hand - I often call with these sorts of hands on the button, only just started doing it the last 20k hands or so, so im not sure whether it;s a losing play. Anyway I thought id be able to get him off most of his hands that didn't contain an ace witha raise on the flop - which is a big part of his range considering he raised from the CO. I really hate his play here though, what did he think i have? he is only getting called when crushed or flipping.

The KK hand - the guy who raised is fairly weak tight, he is not bluffing here and I know he knows I know he he a good hand - I'd say his range here was 99+/AQs+ also - by raising here preflop I think I give away the strength of my hand (not that cold calling doesnt tip me off for a huge hand, but just that I think he'd give me a slightly wider range if i cold called preflop then if i raised) also, he is not the type of player to get AI with QQ- preflop in that situation.

When he bets the flop - He knows the hand is getting shown down due to the $40 stack in there. He is not cont betting AK/1010 so that leaves his range as 99/JJ/QQ/KK/AA and I'm only ahead of QQ. So I dont mind my fold.

The main factors in the Q8dd hand were that AQ is a fairly big part of my range + timing, occasionally he will have got me off a split pot, but my read was that he wanted me to call with a Q which is what he thought i had.
