Re: Hand from sweat session
Thank you very much for your comments so far. Here's my thinking.
I actually would have check/folded the flop here since the pot was small and the board looked pretty scary to me. The guy sweating...

Hand from sweat session
This hand is from a sweat session. Neither of us are really sure about what to do.
SB is 68/4/1.5 over 50 hands
BTN is 39/4/0.9 over 138 hands
CO is 54/9/1.9 over 46 hands
Edited to say that...

Re: I get check raised 3 times, no (censored)
I'm not saying never to raise here, but when somebody says this is a "must raise", I think they could benefit from reading the article I referred to.
Again, I weren't trying to be a jerk, I just...

Re: ATo preflop - I have no idea
I weren't telling OP to raise the flop. I was arguing a preflop raise and a flop call. How many outs do you think we have on the flop? I think that we have enough to call getting 11-1.

Re: ATo preflop - I have no idea
This game is 8-handed and you have a pretty good hand that plays better short handed than multiway, thus the preflop raise.
I definitely think we have enough of a hand to peel on the flop here...

I think you've made a mistake in your EV calculations. If I copy paste your calculations I end up with.
EV of betting: 2.04 SB
EV of checking: 2.08 SB
I will do some more math and get back to...
