I can't see a problem with any of these hands. Sick coolers imo.The A9 v JJ hand could be folded, but its really hard to put him on an overpair when he flats your c/r.

My standard is to c-bet more on the flop. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the pot.

Should I lead this flop or check raise higher?http://www.pokerhand.org/?3668024Opponent was 3 betting with high frequency preflop and generally bet his draws and strong hands well.

Why did you mini-raise the flop? Make it $6 or just call. I don't like checking the turn after we raise, either. Being OOP is hard, but we have tptk.As played, bet more than 1/2 pot on the river. I probably bet 7 or 8. The raise is gay, but I call because nothing makes sense.

Ace is disgusting card but can I really slow down on this turn?http://www.pokerhand.org/?3668030I was tilting at this point, but villian had called re-raises preflop with A2-9 suited and generally weak type hands no showing me any respect.

Before I even look at the hand, my first bit of advice is don't tilt.Again, bet more on the flop. People's biggest mistake is calling too much, make them pay.Um, the turn seems weird. If you think he has Ax a lot, why are you shoving? That's a decent spot to c/c and try to induce a bluff. We have two streets left to get money in against a worse hand. Our hand isn't likely to improve, but if he's got a worse hand, he doesn't have much room to improve either.

Standard?http://www.pokerhand.org/?3668041I was putting villian on a hand like 1010/JJ/KK/AA or even AK, as he had hardly 3bet me during our match.

How many hands? I generally just 4-bet and get it all in. He has 60 BBs.

C-bet more, imho.I'm ok with the turn on.============Don't include results next time. It makes Naismith mad.

This is fine.

C/Ring this flop with full stacks isn't the best idea because you rarely get it in with great equity. You usually wind up flipping or crushed. I don't like the small c/r as it accomplishes nothing since he could and should float overcards for that price. Additionally, leading isn't great either unless you know he's really incapable of bluff raising your leads because you will be in a very tough spot with TPTK on a super drawy board against an aggro opponent.

There is literally zero reason to ever shove this turn unless you know he will still call with medium pairs. Yeah, the ace is a gross LOOKING card for KK, but given how the pot plays out, unless he's got AT or floated a random ace vs you on this flop, it doesn't improve his hand to be beating you. What it does do though is make it way tougher for him to continue to put $$ into the pot with 44 or 77 or JTo or whatever, since you CAN have an ace a ton of the time and there should be no hands he beats anymore. I think the correct turn play, given how dry the flop was, would be to bet a small/scared looking bet like $10 or $12. You could even check. Keep in mind that we're never folding our hand here, we're just trying to find a way to get value from the hands that we do beat, which in this case, is almost exclusively mid pocket pairs and Tx hands.

Standard. Also, thank you for betting the flop. It makes it impossible to bluff these flops in other 3 bet pots if you're not betting Qx here when he checks. I would've bet smaller, like $4.50 or $5.00 though since it's just a better bet for that pot size in a 3 bet pot given stacks.Also consider 4 betting here and getting it AIPF cause he's short.

You should probably fold the turn. He often shows up with 78 and you're drawing dead, or he's got any variety of two pair hands and your hand is in bad shape. When people checkminraise turns, unless they're super bluff happy or just totally overvalue hands like QTo here, you're usually crushed and the turn is the place to fold.
