I am such a rock

[Aces McGee]

Hand 1 -- I don't really like your check-raise. I'd rather just go way ahead/way behind and c/c, c/c, b/f.

Once you do c/r and she three-bets and leads the turn, I think a fold is fine in a live 8/16. Online, ProfessorBen is right, you should probably show this down. But rare is the live 8/16 player who will take this line with anything less than, say, AQ. Personally, I think she has AK or better here a lot. And the best case scenario is that you are drawing for half of a relatively small pot.

Hand 2: I again don't really like your checkraise. You can probably fold this turn, too, but I won't blame you for calling down.

Hand 3: Yeah, I probably three-bet preflop. I would check behind on the turn, too, happy to get cheaply to showdown. I'm not worried about giving a free card -- there aren't too many live 8/16 players taking this line with overs -- so I don't mind the free shot at spiking my nine. I call the river because I get curious and there's always a chance he has 66-88.

Hand 4: I call and reevaluate on the turn, based on what Willie does and (especially) how the player in between reacts.
