***For the Record I love puppies, and have 2 of my own and would never do anything to harm one***

Don't kill the puppies, its more fun to watch them kill each other. Ask Vick....

Hand 1: Call turn and c/eval non K, Q rivers.

Hand 2: OOP I usually try to size my 3bets close to 4x plus 1 for each cold caller. So, that would be a 3bet size of like $8. I see the 40/11, but his 3bet stats (and 4bet stats) are important. I'll probably get flamed for not saying fistpump shove but meh.

Hand 3: Looks ok to me. AA doesn't win every time.

Hand 4: Again, I like a bigger 3bet size. Especially because we are 140 deep OOP with original raiser. I kinda like a smallish sized b/f on the flop if the other two callers are standard nit regs who only ever have PP's. Qx isn't actually that likely a hand for UTG because of A and K blockers and he likely won't bluff with the others left to act. Then again, its hard to predict a pyscho.

Hand 5: Flop cbet is meh, I'd like it a lot better with the Ah. Turn c/f seems fine. You don't beat both opponents very often and there is no need to make your hand into a complete bluff when you have (a tiny bit) of SD value.

[Deanglow]

1 Call
2 shove not close
3 ok
4 bet tiny on the flop
5 not that hard, check

[Sup3rM4N]

1) calling > raising > folding
2) get it in
3) fold riv
4) b/f flop, c/fing that turn is fine
5) don't like the flop cbet. check turn
