The essense of my confusion
I hate hands like this. Any way I'm not getting my whole stack in the middle here? Villian is 27/8 or so. Seems passive. Better off checking behind here and calling a smallish river bet? Do I...

JJ - much different in NL
So clearly JJ plays much differently in no-limit than limit. Should I get away from these and if so, where? Assume villian to be thinking, slightly aggressive.
Thanks!

Call this?
Villian literally sat down 2 hands ago, so no reads. Call the river? Also should I bet more on the turn?

Re: $5 QQ vs 100% VPIP player
I'd rather bet the turn (maybe 1.5 or so) and check behind on the river unless you think villian is tricky. He's more likely to call with something like ace high or worse when there's a chance that...

Re: Pot odds cliff notes..?
The trick I always use is the *2+2 for the next card and *4 for the next 2 cards (ie to call a flop push). So for example if there are 9 outs, 9*2+2 is around 20% chance of improving on the next...

Re: 3-frush frop w/set
I'm curious about the size of the turn raise. My instinct would be to raise more like $16-20 but were you thinking this gave you odds to draw to your full house if min-reraised (or to get away if he...

Re: $50 Lol 4:1 w/AQo
Unless you have specific reads I'm thinking it's an easy muck preflop to the first raise and reraise. To 3 all-ins I think it's an easy fold but hopefully it worked out /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Turned 2 pair against pfr
Villian is pretty tight and moderately passive. Does this look ok? Should I raise more on the turn?

I don't think this is a bad flop get the money in on. If he has 2 broadways he's peeling because he has overs/gutshot/oesd. If he has a pocket pair or sometimes ace high he's calling you down...

You forgot to post stack sizes for one thing. Obviously if everyone has $20 stacks it's a different hand than if everyone has $200 stacks. More than likely you didn't reraise enough preflop. Also...
