I don't see the stop-n-go on a non [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] river, because he may very well pop you again.

What do you know about MP? I really don't want to call and c/c the river with a set, but against an unknown HU, I might. I'm tempted to 3-bet the turn, but I'm not sure how to handle the river if the turn is capped and there's no improvement on the river.

Villain just sat down with 7.4 BBs. Call down okay?

So what? If villian has a flush then he has a flush and we lose 4 BB's between the turn &amp; river. If he 3-bets the turn we're going to lose 5. If he calls the turn and check/calls the river, that's just way too weak with a hand that strong. 3-betting might even be the best play because of the boat draws, but I think I play this hand the same.

Hand 1: Big skirt. If he's on a draw, pop him! If he's on two pair, you'll cut your own throat.

Meh, at least he bet when he hit his set.

I don't get it. 3-bet the turn and call down if capped. I'm expecting to see a lot more action from a flush draw, in general, on the flop.

Re: Stars SH Hand
 

#2 is fine and #3 you should fold to the turn 3-bet unless you've seen him act as though he's stacking off.

Re: Stars SH Hand
 

Hand 1: 3-bet and calldown if capped and UI.
Hand 2: Bet turn.
Hand 3: I would call down from the flop, or fold to the turn 3-bet. Calling down seems better against a possible short-stacked maniac.
