A bit early for the results, but I'm off for bed and if I don't post them now it will be too late instead.
Anyway, I made a somewhat common mistake of mine, acting to fast. I waited a second or...

Re: How to play this?
[ QUOTE ]
Pretty loose PF call. I don't hate it though given you have some read on the opponent.
[/ QUOTE ]
What should the effective stack size be for this call to be ok?

How to play this?
Opponent appears to be slightly loose pre and somewhat loose post. Haven't really been aggro so far, so his preflop raise kind of stood out a bit. Easy preflop call? What do we do on this flop? If we...

3-handed river decision
I've been very aggro so far, raising just about any hand on the button (because I've had raising hands), so my image at this point is, well, LAG I suppose. Me LAG:ing it up started about when it...

Since I'm off to bed I'm posting the results a bit earlier than I wanted.
I called down and felt like a fish for doing so, as I usually do when I'm unsure about calling down and end up losing. He...

Re: TP against flop aggression

I can't think of a hand that he won't PFR, then CR and cap the flop that you beat after the turn. He either flopped 2 pair and is protecting from the diamond draw or has a big draw, which...

34 % VPIP = 97s any day and twice on sundays. Not sure about Q7s.

You have to call down. You have outs against 2-pair and you are ahead of any draws. Not 3-betting the flop would be a mistake IMO. Make the other player fold, and force the other one to...

I thought he could have called with anything from a pair to gutshots on the flop, and since I didn't want to give hands like T8 or QJ a free river, and since I have up to 15 outs if behind, I bet. He...

I bet, BB raises, MP cold-calls, I 3-bet, BB caps, MP calls.
BB has Kc8c for the rivered flush. MP has AsAh.
Was I wrong to 3-bet in this spot?

Do you think the button has overcards here the majority of the time? If not I can't see why you'd want to check-raise if he's a half decent hand reader. He should put you on a medium PP here almost...
