PF is -EV. i think raise or fold is best here because you rarely have the implied odds to call a late position raise. i mihgt raise a tad more on flop, like to $24. otherwise fine.

check/fold imo. dont think he's raising this turn with just a pair of aces. looks like a set or higher 2 pair imo.

after his raise on turn I was pretty sure he had me crushed, but there was just too much money in already. Question is basically PF and the Turn Play. I wanted to charge draws on Turn and AK,AQ hands. But I am getting raised instead, so my read was off. But checking the Turn is pretty bad isn't it?

Is this because Players loosen up from CO and BTN? Would you mind explaining this to me?

everything is fine

Re: NL100 - Bottom two pair
 

Raise more on the flop, rest if fine.

Re: NL100 - Bottom two pair
 

Calling IP can be +EV if you are willing to raise a good amount of cbets or float. I perfer to rerasie here against people with higher attempt to steal blind %. That being said, eveyrthing else is fine and checking the turn because you got c/r here is just results oriented thinking.

pf is completely fine.
