Some confusing hands

[pearljam]

All of these are 30+3's, by the way for anybody who cares im 5% ROI over my first 300 which is disapointing, I was hoping for 10%, but im confident that I played well and deserved 10%.

It really burns me when I pay this stupid bet off, it seems like they havea higher pair when they make this stupid bet so often that I should just be folding this, of course if he open pushes I automatically call, is there any way I fold this without reads in a $33?

Final Pot: t1485

Should I have checked the flop? If so what is my plan from there? Should I bet and then fold to this raise? It seemed too likely for him to be "protecting" his 2 as most $33'ers would slowplay an 8 here, at least that was my logic during the hand.

Standard? or does the risk of him callign with a big pair or something that coinflips me too big here, especially without a dominant chip lead?

Any feedback would be great.

[tigerite]

Hand 1 - are you kidding? I pushed with ATo into an early raiser, and he called with QTs, which didn't suck out on me, for all his chips. No way do you always see a higher pair, or even two overcards here, I get my money in with JJ here every time. At the 33's or otherwise.

Hand 2 I either flat call his raise or fold, I don't think I would re-raise here, there's really no point.

Hand 3 Easy push

Hand 4 Read dependent to be honest

[pearljam]

yea but the last 2 times this happened they had an overpair, so clearly this happens everytime they make this strange raise.

[tigerite]

It definitely doesn't always happen, believe me. I've pushed with far worse than JJ (albeit from the BB) in these situations and got folds, or calls from absolute crap, at the $33's.

[pearljam]

Yea I know it doesnt, after reading ur first reply I realized the error in my thought process so made a joking reply. What do u think about the other hands?

[axeshigh]

Hand 1 - Push
Hand 2 - Fold (I guess you are posting the hand because he had clubs and rivered the flush, but there are many other hands that beat you and I see no reason to gamble for a small pot early).
Hand 3 - Push
Hand 4 - I may call and see a flop or push here, it depends on any things.

tigerite's sarcasm detector is broken.
