Few hands for review regarding Aggression

[Bigjim26]

I've been playing 3/6 for about 1000 hands so I'm adjusting to the higher aggression.
I have examples of a hands where I felt I wasn't aggressive enough and a hand where I felt my aggression was correct.



Hand 1:
Villian is SLA_P; 28%/8%/312

This hand I feel I should of bet the river, but the river brought a scare card.

I also have a question about calling SB from a preflop raiser. 3/6 has 1/3 blind structure so I'm trying to adjust accordingly.

Is this hand a correct fold?

[Kyle]

Hand 1 I tend to bet here not sure if it is correct though. I expect him to call you with a weaker queen or a smaller pair, but a check isnt bad.

Hand 2 Looks good since player is TAG

Hand 3 Good also

Hand 4 Fine

[chief444]

Hand one I'd usually value bet the river and fold to a check/raise, unless I knew this particular opponent to check/raise a lot on the river.

Otherwise everything looks good. Definitely fold the the last one. Not even close.

[gman420]

why not raise the turn in hand #2?

[chief444]

He's likely behind on a AQJx board. If he's ahead the opponent will sometimes fold. If he's behind the opponent will sometimes 3-bet and he pretty much has to call at least the turn.

[gman420]

behind to KT or two pair you mean? I would think a tight player would check raise with those hands, but maybe not. Then again a smaller ace probably doesn't make a lot of sense (though maybe he raised with AT)

[chief444]

If he's behind it's probably to AJ or AQ. It doesn't really even matter though. Basically almost all hands he's ahead of don't have many outs. So the raise really serves no purpose. You win more/lose less by just calling down.

[flair1239]

I think all these hands are fine.

The only thing I would look at is hand 1. Depending how passive he is, I think that might be a value bet on the river.
