Re: 30/60, bad turn, worse river, your action?
seems like a pretty straight forward check to me. I think a bet here is one of those classic -EV situations. I am not clear what you would like them to call with. JJ? x9? 88? 77? etc.
If UTG is...

Re: AK in 4 way capped pot
3 bet the flop. I think you are very good here and plan on leading at this flop for the rest of the hand.

However, the 9s paired the top card on board, and I felt like if I bet the turn and was raised again I couldn't let it go. I also felt like my opponent would bet pretty much any hand on...

Re: QTs, this one left a bad taste

Re: did this play make any sense at all?
I'd say somewhat bad, but not horrific. I don't know the villian so that plays a role too.
Given the hole you dug yourself on the flop, did you consider another line? Why not check raise the...

Not 3 betting flop was a mistake here. Given where you are post fall, you are grabbing a paddle to the river.

Re: 20-40 preflop
OK, I will take a wild stab at it ... AQs = fold. What are you hoping for? JJ, TT, and a laggy 88 for the open raise, cold call, and 3 bet?
To use Clark as a benchmark ... changing AJs to AQs...

Re: smoothcalling with AA from SB
If your goal of smooth calling is to induce overagression, why not capitalize on it and prepare to cap it up on the river?

I don't mind the preflop raise. Yes you can get limp-reraised, but so what? You are kind of playing the ultimate game of flop lotto, and getting anywhere from 7-1 to 10-1 the call.

Re: 9/18 Hand Review
Seems pretty standard to me ... The passivity on the turn and the river probably doesn't indicate a flush of note.
