Then i ran into a tricky hand . really tried to make some sense of the min raise
had a quick chat with dodgyken afterwards . still unsure myself and timed out

This hand was a little more straightforward in that i wanted to know how to get the most out of him , but im not sure i played this right ?

Anyway , as per usual , or not actually , i thought i would give the 50/100 a little go . I mean there are only so many bad beats one can run into arent there ?

After that i didnt want to risk too much , so i did this ! Crazy lazy was 45/25 and had been raising at any opportunity , mainly in position though . Obviously i re raised , and then this . I dont know what people think but i just felt i was behind

Hand 3: ack, that's tough. i ran a pokerStove on it:
Villan: {JJ+, AcKc, AcQc, AcJc, KcQc, KcJc, QcJc, ATo, JdTh, JdTs, JhTd, JhTs, JsTd, JsTh }

and you're behind. it was a raised pot, and i can't see flopped quads or a house pushing you like that, so i'm discounting 33 and TT.

it's essentially 60/40 against there. but, you can play with the range as you see fit.

if you've been c-betting, they may be getting uppity, but i can't advocate coming back at them. and, you're out of position for the rest of the hand, probably destined to show weakness on later streets, setting yourself up to have it stolen from you anyway.

i'm not sure. as a result, i'm ok with a laydown here.

Hand 4: there may not be a way to get more out of him. if he's just c-betting once and forgetting the hand, you've got what you're gonna get.

and besides, not raising gives a prepaid look at the turn which could flush you out of the hand after that nice flop.

Hand 5: bummer.

Hand 6: ??

Hand 7: well, if you're not calling 4-bets with KK, i wouldn't do it with TT either.

good fold, imo.

Hand 1/2 : WTF?!!! How can the villain call an allin when he only has pair outs?

Hand 3 : Tricky spot. Here is where PT/PAHUD is your saviour. Does the villain raise many hands PF? Can you give him credit for a monster open-limped out of the SB? With both the flush draw and potential trips/boat etc on the flop as well, I am probably folding here.

Hand 4 : Villain is much more likely to have a decent pocket pair than a flush draw, based on his 3bet preflop. I would call his lead on the flop, and look to raise him up on the turn when he hopefully leads out again, especially if a rag comes. If the flush completes on the turn, then I am calling down.

Hand 5 : As Tony Soprano would say, "Whaddyagonnado??" Bad cooler.

Hand 6 : Any read that the villain was a "busy" player here, or was this just a red-mist push?! Turned out nice anyway!

Hand 7 : Good fold here. The very best that you could be hoping for would be a race against AK. Much more likely to be crushed against JJ/QQ/KK.

Keep at it Grinder! Don't let the AA/KK situation spook you into playing them either too fast or too slow. This is variance at i's very worst. I would be amazed if the results with these hands hadn't significantly averaged out towards normal before the end of August.
