A couple common tricky situations everyone gets into

Lately I've been opening up my game a little, I'm still not close to LAG but looser than I was, and I think in doing this you have to be willing to stack off lighter than you did before.

My 3betting range from the blinds to light CO and BTN openers is normally A10-K, KQ and 99-AA and the odd SC (not wide enough?..too wide?)

Scenario 1

18/14 - 20/16 type player opens in LP (has an Attempt to steal percentage of +30%) and you 3bet from the blinds with 1010/JJ/QQ, he calls.

Flop is 952r and you lead out for 2/3 pot

A: He CR's you all in, What hand are you calling with? Are you calling with any of these hands?

B: He cold calls, whats your move on the turn if it bricks? with what hand?

Scenario 2

You running at 18/14 - 20/16 and your opening range from the button is anything from 67o and better.

You raise OTB and get 3bet by a player thats very similar to yourself and has the same 3betting range.

A: What hands are you calling the 3bet with (besides premium hands obv) and what kind of flop are you looking to see to carry on with your hand?

B: What kind of flops do you make a move on him with and what kind of hands do you do it with (given you didnt hit the flop)?

Ok I know scenario 2 is a very wide question to ask but it would be cool to hear feedback on both scenarios or atleast scenario 1.

Scenario 1:

A) I'm not folding an overpair ever in this spot to this type of player unless I am sure that he thinks my range for 3-betting is very tight.

B) Stack-a-donk with any overpair or if I pick up a flushdraw

Scenario 2 is a bit more complex and involves reads, flow of the game, etc.

I ALWAYS get shown AA/KK in scenario 1.

I flat out suck in both scenarios and I see now that its a huge leak to think i'm dominated most of the time i'n scenario 1A

In 1B whats your line if an A or K falls on the turn? cos now if he was floating you he has you beat a huge % of the time and if he wasnt floating you he had you beat all along.

Also these questions are for 100bb stacks
