Had no read on villian , now in replayer i see hes 26/20/1 over 67hands

Seemed like a good player , Just let this hand go or bluff ??

Villian is a little short so is it best to push here ?? if he was full stacked id usualy call , i dont like gettin it all in with QQ

I think i should i of just called hoping to catch on the river , hes short stacked so prob not lettin go any pair ..

I think i played this right , did i just get sucked out on ? villian is a good reg

hand one I raise more pre. You have a limper and you are OOP. I raise this up to at least 2.50. I think I like a check on the river since a missed draw is not going ot call your bet, but may bet it. KQ, KJ, sets are all in this realm here given he was in the BB and the raise was not that large. Once he raises, you are beat here 90% of the time and although I call here many times, it is a big leak for me. He knows you have some sort of hand and is raising you....

Hand 2: I like the iso raise PF. On the flop, if you are going to continue, I think you need to raise. You have 2 overs and a flushdraw and I can see Villain with a middle pair here a lot of the time. Something like 66-99 (unlikely TT since you have one). You are behind to a set but ahead of all others statistically. Another thing that raising does is allows you to fold should he shove because he won't be doing that with something you have good equity against. Better flushdraws or sets are really the only things I can see him doing that with. I don't like betting the river after being sooooooooo passive on the flop and turn and it really looks like you have a flushdraw which an overpair is going to snap call.

Hand 3: Fine with me given stacksizes. If he was full stacked, I'd be very wary of his limp/raise.

Hand 4: I'm really not sure about this one, but I don't like the idea of calling on the turn. The fact that he is short makes it more compelling to either shove or fold because you really don't have the implied odds with him being short. You have a lot of draws here but you are drawing dead against KsQs and drawing to ~9 outs vs KQ and you have an opponent to act behind you as well. Dunno.

Hand 5: If villain is a good reg, why are we coldcalling with KJs? What hands is villain going to pay us off with when we hit?

[TheDeKay]

Hand 1: Raise pre to 2.5$. Bet less on turn, c/c river.
Hand 2: Raise flop and get it in. As played: Do not bluff... I really looks like a c/c for bluff value from him.
Hand 3: Fine.
Hand 4: Fold pre! There are 2 shortstacks at your table and only 2more full stacks. So you shouldn't play drawing hands in EP. As played: I might just shove on the flop. SS like to play hands like KQ,KJ and this flops does not hit their range very hard. And if we get called by JJ+, AT, we still have a quite nice equity.
Hand 5: I might just check behind on the turn, cause he doesn't have the flushdraw that often and I want to keep the pot small. You won't get 3streets of value with your hand anyways. So check and rep a busted flushdraw on the river, so he will call you /w small pp. I'm fine with your preflop call, if he's not a nit.

Hey guys
Thanks for that , im much clearer on them now , on the first hand AK in the sb i do usualy raise that up more that was a missclick forgot to mention , and yep i dont think i should be callin KJ to a raise from a good player and the 89 utg i dont usualy play these , that has been my worse session at 50nl , i guess im gettin more used to the limits and im startin to loosen up and play a lil sloppy
cheers

Pretty much agree w/ MX & Dekay, but have a question of my own for hand 2.

Hand 1: Raise pre to at least $2.50, bet less on turn, c/c river.

Hand 2: Regarding what Dekay and MX have said, what are our plans for hand 2 if we raise the flop and the turn bricks? on flop, villain donks $3.75 into $5.50, so let's say our raise makes it $13 to go, and villain calls, leaving us with $32.50 behind and a pot size of $31.50. Are we just shoving no matter what comes if checked to? Is our action influenced depending on what the turn card is? Does our play differ if the turn binks a Q or 10 instead of a flush card?

Hand 3: ughhhh, the dreaded limp-reraise. It's almost always AA, KK, or AK, but since villain isn't full stacked I probably play it the same, but I don't love getting it in.

Hand 4: I don't mind playing a hand like this once in a while UTG to change things up & keep my opponents off balance, but as dekay pointed out this is a terrible spot for it with 2 shorties at your table. just let this one go.

Hand 5: I agree with MX that I hate calling PF with this hand. I guess we're IP, but it seems like it's really hard to get too much value from this hand against a non-drooler
