Not a great read, but villain is tagish. Should I have given up after being 3-bet?

I don't think it's bad and I'd probably do the same, but it's not quite a synch like the other hand you posted. AA, KK and QQ are obviously in his range and have you beaten. AK & AQ have nine outs and possibly a backdoor flushdraw. I think some opponents are playing this way with 22-44 as well.

You're ahead more often than not when the money goes in, but I dunno if it's often enough to justify stacking off with. But maybe I'm wrong. Very tough spot.

No, this is fine. Pretty safe board, you will see many tagish unknowns stacking off with middle pockets here that are overs.

I bet more on the flop, ~$7, and look to get it all-in.

Tough spot. It would really help if you had what his stats were. How tight is "tagish"? You guys think villain calls a large 3-bet w/ pocket 10's and worse? The flop small-ish raise looks like he's begging to get the money in. Depending on villain's stats I think hero is beat here a lot of the time.

I'm confused by this hand. Do we assume that villain would have to 4-bet QQ+ w/ utg behind him preflop? Since he and hero are playing somewhat deep, villain's range is any pp and AK?

Actually have no clue on this hand. I wud probably fold to the raise on the flop without any reads.. I guess this is nitty from the feeback so far.. When he calls ur ai ur almost never good imo playing deep... Seen some play AA like this... Results?

I've been feeling gross in this spot myself, but still getting it in. EMc, how do you play this one if you've got 88-99 in this kind of spot? Completely player dependant??
