probably play them all the same and call #3.

1) shove pre
2) 3-bet more pre, I think you can fold to his 4-bet
3) shove pre, call as played

Hand 1 - Shove the flop. Your hand becomes much less defined by shoving. It should be pretty obvious that you have a decent overpair with your flop call. There are no draws and not enough money behind for you to float, which should significantly narrow the range he puts you on. Also, he's not second barreling the turn, so you're not gaining any equity against air yet you effectively increase the equity of Ax by not charging him to draw to the ace.

Hand 2 - This is fine. If he's really nitty, you might be able to make a case for folding preflop.

Hand 3 - 5-bet shove pre-flop. You put yourself in a real awkward spot postflop. Being in spots where your hand range is narrow, while your opponent's range is not well defined are always difficult and rarely profitable. Your preflop call creates such a scenario.

anyone like betting the turn in hand 2? seems obvious that he has exactly KK as fishy as that sounds.

hand 1. shove preflop

Cold call preflop in hand 2, fold as played.
3-bet more if you're going to 3-bet.

hand 3. fold to 4-bet

In hand 3, you can't fold to the 4-bet after you squeezed PF. And why cold call in hand 2?

1. Shove pre or flop.

2. Maybe fold to 4-bet pre. Postflop is meh, he has KK but I don't think you can get him to fold it.

3. I have no idea. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
