Exclamation Few tricky spots

Villian is 24/17, with a 100% cbet and a 25% 3bet stat. Also has a 44% steal stat over 50 hands. Seems pretty solid so far. Whats my line?

SB bets $4.75, Hero..

---------------------------------------------

Villain is 16/13 over 100 hands. cbets all the time. Standard 3 streets or check behind turn? I still think there is value.

*The call PF was a misclick, I was supposed to raise it up*

---------------------------------------------

Villain is 60/33 and doesnt fold to 3bets. Steals 70% of the time. The stack sizes on the flop suck because of the overcaller. Fine to shove for value?

Wasn't sure about betting small to induce a shove when I was calling anyway. I think he'll still call w/ lower pairs, AK and maybe even AQ. Flush draws too. Sucks if he has a set?

Same villain.

Shoves for value or just lets it go?

I agree with how you played hands 2 and 3. Hand 3 it kinda looks like he's making blocker bets to try and see the turn and river cheaply with a flush draw. Don't mind a value shove there since you've still got decent equity in the small chance you get called by a 5.

Hand 1 is the tough one. I have trouble with these spots too. Since he's a short stack I don't mind trying to get him in on this flop.

First hand I would raise to $4 pre flop. Post flop, we obviously can't call, so I think a raise to about $12-$13 is good. He will let you know if you are beat.

Second hand is fine besides the misclick. The queen is defiently not a good card to see on the river, but I don't think check folding is really an option at this point.

Third hand is good too. The stack is going in, so you might as well get it in before an ace shows up.

Four is a total shove on the turn. Even if he has the 5, you still have 10 outs to win and 3 to tie. A bet like that usually means a flush draw from a 60/33 donk like that anyway.

Don't you think raising to $13 in the first hand is overly commiting? I can't fold if he shoves.

Hand 1: This is a weird spot for villain to donk. I just shove over it, because so many turn cards will be ugly and you can't muck your hand.

Hand 2: You can't ever "check behind" because you're OOP. I think postflop is well played.

Hand 3: I always 3bet this bigger preflop (~5.75-6) being OOP with an overcaller, and I might go even bigger than that here because villain doesn't fold to 3bets. Then your flop shove won't be such a big overbet.

Hand 4: Lets it go??? A set of aces against a shortie? What 5s are in his range? Shove.

Sorry yeah I meant check turn to him not check behind.

I shoved on hand one. Good point about larger 3bet in hand 3. Hand 4 was me being results orientated. I snap shoved obv and he had 53s (lol).

Standard session of being shown the nuts constantly.

You can't? It's not like he is going to bluff shove against a raise like that.

But why call if he has the better hand?

Hand 1 - Just shove, raise/fold is horrible

Hand 2 - I like

Hand 3 - Normally I don't like to overshove like that as you are missing alot of value from draws but if you feel he is still calling with a wide range of hands then this is fine. I agree that your 3bet pre should be bigger.

Hand 4 - I am never letting that go, his bet reeks of a flush draw trying to see the river for cheap. I shove here every time, and even on those rare occasions he shows up with a random 5 you still have the full house redraw.
