[canarymofo]

1 - Guy was like 23/6/1.5 , I think should've raised the flop, but didn't want to scare the other guy who was 45/1

2- I always feel like a donk when I got AK and the hand goes like this one. Villian was 45/11 and I thought he could throw away whatever crap he had.

3- Villian was 27/13 , I tried to extract some value if I were ahead but after facing agression I just wanted to reach the showdown cheaply.

4- MP2 here is 60/0/0.8 , is the 2x raise at the end ok as he was just calling all the way or should I just call? My reasoning was that I had him beat and could win a side pot, I really didn't know about the shortie.

5- Guy was 20/8 I called river because the bets felt akward. He made them very quickly and I felt like they were too large, especially river's

6- This villian had already 3bet me twice at other tables he was 14/12/8. I felt he was playing back at me a lot at that moment so I was confident to put my money in with KK there
