Re: What do you think of these calls?
Catching a bluff is most impressive when you can articulate why you recognized their play as a bluff. Calling down 3 streets in a raised pot with the second nut no pair is just... bad.

Re: last one today, TT overpair, 3way pot.
Your hand is underrepped here 3way, this is a missed flush / x9 a lot of the time IMO. I would of bet the turn, esp with 2 other players, but as played I think the river is snapcallerama.

Yeah
I think this is pretty read dependent. Original raiser could easily have an overpair (esp factoring the large raise from UTG), caller could have Qx (esp. if he's a donkish passive player, or a flush...

Re: What\'s your scene like?
Baller set up Truss. You said it's separate from the house - guest house or something? Either poker has been very kind to you, or you actually have a high paying real job. Well played.
