Default ($27 Turbo) Aces (tricked ya!)

Only one ace in each hand!

1. It took me a little too long to realize that this guy plays almost every hand, I would have folded preflop. Does anyone fold this preflop even vs. average opponents? Postflop play?

Reese Witherspoon - CO (t3800)
Hero (t3520)
Yellow Bastard - SB (t4575)
Darth Vader - BB (t1605)

2. I think this was a brain fart, I never try to bully a stack bigger than me on the bubble with blinds this small. Complete preflop, fold flop?

wrong, wrong, and wrong.
I skimmed quickly, but 2 &amp; 3 look okay. 1 I would've done something different but I can't think of it now.

Fold the AJ? No way. Raise, fold to the RR

#1...i dunno

in #2 i think you should fold to the preflop re-raise unless the guy is really aggro in which case i think you should call preflop and shove the flop

in #3 i think it's very obvious that you have a flush draw, and unlikely that both opponents will fold even if it wasn't that obvious. i would just call closing the action.

1. Open push.
2. This is okay, I guess.
3. You're getting awesome odds to just call the flop min-raise. Evaluate turn. I don't really like the push.

1) if 1 haven't taken a pot in the last 5-6 hands I would have done the same preflop raise but c/f the flop. If i had taken a pot in the past few hands I would have fold.
2) fold to re-raise
3) I would have just called. there is very little chance that both will fold to the push so the semibluff is missing folding value which makes it a losing bet.

You're right. I misread something somewhere.
