i know its 2/4 guys, but i purposely posted it here..anybody have any input?

especially on hand 1?

[carnivalhobo]

hand 1: shove flop, as played call

hand 2: i dont think theres a reason to make it 100

hand 3: standard

1-
The min check raise screams set to me. The only hands you would be ahead of on the turn shove would be some kind of combo draw (9T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], AJ [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) and the min c/r would be a strange line to take with those. Even if these are in villians range he has set, straight, 2 pair enough here that I would fold.

2-
Yuck. You tried to reraise to isolate shorty and the SB would play along. Can't really fold preflop to his raise and cant call on the flop so I cant really see anything you could do differently, other than flat call the shorty's shove preflop and see what the SB does.

3-
Pretty tough readless, but here is my best guess at a range. Considering your MP raise and the CO cold call I think it would be pretty tight.

(99+, AQo+)

equity win tie
44.255% 43.30% 00.96% { TcTd }
55.745% 54.78% 00.96% { 99+, AQs+, AQo+ }

I dont think you have any FE with the reraise (with BB shorty) and you have to factor in the chance that CO might have a hand he wants to show down with too. I think this is a fold.

love it all if you play AK/AA/KK/QQ the same way in hand 2
