Been somewhat absent from poker since the party split. Just came back and found party games at the 100nl level to be pretty wild. All villians are between 35/10/3 & 50/15/5, havent played enough hands with them to see their lines. Am I chip spewing?

Over aggro vilian shows no aggression on any street. Was I hanging myself being OOP or value betting & getting a weak Q to fold?

1,3 look good.

In #2 I think you should have folded to the turn check-mini-raise.

One doesnt look like a full to me, I like your line there. Fish with K /images/graemlins/heart.gif x /images/graemlins/heart.gif will take this line, as well the guy that calls with middle pair or "slowplays" top pair.

Two...Im on the fnece about. 6 Max is not my best game, but I think villian has mid PP there, but id also probably fold to the min raise.

Three...It appears as if the villian had clubs. Giving him poor odds, looks right to me

In hand #1 you're giving him a cheap showdown with anything you beat and you pay him off when he has you beat. Just bet first

i play hand 1 the same.

hand 2 i check the turn. why would you push the river after he bets if you think he is on a bluff. there is no value to be made by getting him to fold worse hands.

hand 3 i check call the river sometimes. if villain is holding Qx you aren't value betting, you're bluffing.

In hand #2 I thought I was up against a midPP here against an overly aggro villian. Since i didnt have much left, a push would almost force him to call and I would be getting extra value when I am ahead
