    Hand 5

    Villain is 28/6 and his aggression factors per street are 0.5/6.5/1.5. I've also seen him blatantly float two TAggs at the table similarly on the turn during the session. This combined with the picked up draw on the turn led me to think a second barrel was good here, thoughts? Also how bad would a 3rd barrel all-in be here?

    1. He crais a boat so rarely. He'll raise flop or donk river often. Depending on villian, obv, but I probably bet/call.

    2. Depends on villian, but I think a check is best. You're not getting three streets of value from AT vs any competent villian. He doesn't have a flush draw super often. Whatever hand you have/make on the river is then disguised and he'll hafta call your bet with a flush with an ace or he'll bet then call your raise if he has AQ.

    It's close, betting or checking turn, but I think 50/1 fullring is so tight that you are almost always way behind when you felt turn.

    3. I normally crai, but it may be best to donk. I dunno, and it's not a big deal, I think.

    4. Shove. What else are you gonna do? Only if he's real bluffy and you're felting any turn do I call.

    5. He floats two barrels? Hafta fire a third. Not cbetting here, though. That flop hits soooo much of his range, and we have no showdown strength so we need to fire more, yet that is often wrong in small stakes fullring, and especially when it's our only recourse.

    1. C/ring is sick by villain but you probably gotta call getting zillion:1 here no matter what you do. checking is out of the question.
    Fwiw, i may pot turn setting up river pushes more often when you are drawing to a 4 flush here and repping the scare card. Makes river a 1/2? pot bet too.

    2. Id only check ifi felt id get blown off my pretty hand too often, otherwise bet for value.

    3. c/c flop c/r all in on turn otherwise bet/push, but i hate trying to get it all in on flop because if you are villain with AA here if we try to get it in on the flop youre fairly sure we are beat a lot.

    4. I hate this spot because its difficult to get your opponent to play his hand badly on the flop now. Id probably shove and hope AK makes a hero call. If he has KK big deal.

    5. I see what youre thinking but if you feel you can use your image to push opp off a hand then c/r all in on turn.

    1) This hero is going through a conservative patch, and calls. Normally I bet-call.
    2) Hero checks
    3) So villain only raises 4%, that means his 3-bet range is AA/KK. Value time, bet $14. The other options are horrible - check-call which is gross out of position, and check-raise which will likely scare him off.
    4) any reads? Villain called once, then called again - reeks of hands that have you beat, AK unlikely. Push or fold, um, fold I guess.
    5) I don't like the second barrel.

    Hand 1: Hero bet/calls and villain shows JJ ldo

    Hand 2: Hero impulse-bets immediately thinking he should have checked instead. Villain minraises and is stacked with AQ on heart river.

    Hand 3: Hero donks flop, Villain shoves with KK, river K, shipithollanotsoballa.

    Hand 4: Hero shoves, Villain calls with KQ, turn K, lol donkaments.
