1st hand:
20/15/5.0 170 hands
as the chat indicated he had neither a set nor a 2pair but no proof about that..
Dunno my exact read about him, he seemed to be rather loose with callin 3bets and 3betting himself.. but very small samplesize.
He could also bluff, but no real evidence tho.

Guess the best line would have been to check the turn and see what the river shows.. then dependant on the action and read either fold or call it. I could also keep the pot smaller.. don't wanna go broke deepstacked with TPTK.

3rd hand:
10/7/9.0 168 hands
didn't feel good about calling, thought it's more likely he has a pair of queen to kings or a set than 99 or TT
call ? I think Aces are unlikely and king's aren't too likely either.. When I asked for his hand he said a pair of
jacks.. no clue if its true

Thanks for any help.

[Praetor]

Hand #1 more preflop, check turn
Hand #2 c/f river
Hand #3 I might just call preflop vs that guy, bet less on the flop. obv fold

[TomChan]

1) like praetor
2) i don't like c/f river here. if he is really kinda aggro, i'd c/c this river
3) i also reraise here preflop, bet 75 on flop and fold for sure

Obv fold on his raise but what if he just call? Is it an automatic follow up bet on turn with this kind of board if the turncard is an blank?

The annoying part about poker is that even the bad players can hit flushes. But the board is just ysucky in hand 2 so check/folding to any reasonable bet on the river is not that bad if we don't have any pinpoint reads on the guy except that he is "a donk".
Betting small and folding to a raise is not terrible either.

[TomChan]

but an unreasonable donk also likes to stay in the hand here with any pair, hoping that you are on overcards.
then mr donk sees the incoming flush and thinks: THIS is a great spot to bluff.

i'd definitly c/c here

[schwza]

1 - raise more pre. i agree check behind on the turn.

2 - looks good. check/call river is also ok.

3 - gross spot, but i think it's a good fold.
