This was the 1st time I've folded KK preflop to a 5bet (I use to always shove even if I thought he had AA), not sure what others would have done.

1 - 3bet preflop. As played, raise the flop bigger. As played, bet the turn bigger. After he raises the turn, it's a weird spot--I probably call and c/c most rivers.
2 - Why would you raise that flop?
3 - I get it in every time with 100bb effective stacks.

Hand 3: I'm not laying down KK preflop here , if he's got AA, its a cooler.

Hand 2: I think you're preflop call here is meh. His raise percentage is only 8% which is low. I think I'd fold the hand preflop. As played I think its a good fold.

Hand 1: Interesting hand and mostly read dependent. Different possibilities here but do we really want to build a big pot OOP with a top pair hand? Maybe you could 3bet him preflop as his raising range on the CO is probalby much worse than your AQ. As played I'm just calling down here OOP although his small cbet might also induce a raise from me but I'd make it much bigger to let the straight and flush draws pay. When he raises your turn bet it's definetly a fold unless i've seen him bluf before. I'd like to hear more opinions about this one.

I hate the way you played every hand.........

Hand 1: 3bet for value preflop, prefer to flat the flop as this way you can get 3 streets of value from weaker A, as played fold turn.

Hand 2: Flat flop, as played fold river.

Hand 3: Wat?!?!?! Worst of the lot by far and I think you know why....... please tell me this was a misclick!

Thanks for the replies. So after reading the posts, I guess what I should have done is:

Hand 1
3 bet preflop but if I played it the way it is, c/c each of the 3 streets?

Hand 2
fold preflop since his pf raise is only 8% but if I played it the way it is, just flat the flop and maybe fold to a double barrel with that scary turn?

Hand 3
Always get in in preflop with KK. If he's got AA it's a cooler. I realise this now after reading more about it, it's just that past few times I've got it in with KK he's always had AA and it made me think that maybe I should lay KK down sometimes.

First hand... 3bet preflop -- post flop I like your line and I fold the turn unless he's shown himself to make really spewy plays with weak TP hands.

Second hand... Don't raise the flop. There's really not much danger in allowing people to see a cheap turn considering the fairly dry board, and by raising you are really reducing your chance of extracting value from worse Ax's.

Third hand... I get it in with KK preflop 100% of the time for 100bb. Poor fold imo.

1: 3 bet pre, show strength but if he shows strength back fold.
2: I take a PC line here.
3: LOL....
