******* Hand 2, Villain is a winner in this game through TAG play. Was this a bad place to defend? I figured the BB was coming with FWIW. How about the other streets? Flame away.

***** Hand 3 Got overboard here. Villain hadn't really shown an ability to get out of line. But I also felt like he was getting pissed off at the fact that I was taking his blinds every round. Did I spew?

Hand 1: I would most often bet the turn and check behind on the river. But I think your line is ok.
Hand 2: Easy fold preflop.
Hand 3: I think you played it fine.

[Terrabon98]

Hand 1: I play this the same way, although a turn bet could be argued.

Hand 2: Fold preflop, bad hand to call with out of position and in the SB...

Hand3: Not sure how i feel about this one..shorthanded against a guy who is playing aggressively against me, I usually like smoothcalling the flop raise and raising the turn...if I get 3-bet, then it's player-dependant about folding or calling down..

[pshabi]

Thanks.

For sure should've folded preflop in hand 2. But did I evaluate my outs correctly after the flop?

Except for preflop in hand 2 I think you played it fine. Especially if the player can 3-bet you on the flop without a pair. (Seen this many times from aggressive players.)

That would be my standard line, but my read was that he was trying to show he couldn't be bullied and was playing back at a blind stealer. I had gotten him like 3 orbits in a row when the table got 4 handed real quick.

I thought he was done after my 3-bet and was suprised to see it capped.

He ended making a flush on the turn in this case. How often should I expect to see a player cap OOP with a smallish flush draw at this level. The aggression is eye-opening to say the least.

[marand]

I think a flushdraw will cap here a fair amount of the time. If he can get a free card on the turn it's actually good for him. (Or if he thinks you are tight and might lay down a pair for a bet on the turn.)

[clownshoes]

Hand 1: Bet the turn, Im not sure what I would do if I was checkraised, most likely fold.
Hand 2: Fold PF
Hand 3: Seems ok...

[clownshoes]

Capping flush draws on flop is very common, theres also the type that love to 3-bet/cap flush draws they just picked up on the turn.
