in a non 3 bet pre pot this is a 100% snap fold . in this reraised preflop pot case most of me says this is still a snap fold but there seems to be a ton of one paired hands drawing to a str and flush that he might have. but since we are deep this is a snap fold right?

and i know i should have raised more pf so imagine another situation where i reraise it pf to 11.50, he calls . pot on flop is 23$ i bet 17 into it and he makes it 42. is this still a snap fold?

do you ever fold this?

If you fold that set there I will cry.
AK vs that much action and a 3 bet is a fold.
AA on a board that wet vs that much action is entirely read dependent. I'd call vs an unknown because it could easily be a weaker overpair, a draw or a total bluff but if they seem pretty solid you can justify a fold.
When you call a 4 bet you need to have your plan in mind. Whether you get it in on low flops, calling for set value etc. Go with your pf plan. On a flop like that he's probably got an overpair without a club getting his money in fast. You'd still have trouble finding a call here though because it's probably AA.
That QJ will be a bluff 4/5 the time imo. He knows the chance of you having a J just dropped a lot. Sometimes he'll have the J or the boat but calling there is definitely a profitable play. Instacall.

AA hand is a fist pump snap fold vs confusion654. he's like the biggest nit in nl50 6max, i had him running at 8/7 and i've never seen him raise post flop without the goods.

he clearly has a set. what other hand can a super tight player complete the small blind with, leads a draw heavy board and then 3bet afterwards...

hand 1(66)
i think you are against a monster draw all the time so this a high varience play if u decide to call
hand 2(ak)
WHat?u just enduce a bluff.NOw call!
actually cant comment on this hand as it is butchered imo
hand 3(aa)
LOL?now fold ,he has 27 off
hand 4(QQ)
if u called a 4bet u have to get it in here.Are u playing queens for set value?(note that he is utg raiser so u should know what to do PF)
hand 5(qj)
villain dependant imo

i didnt see JJ hand i think it is wp
also stats info about villains would be useful

hand 1 call i guess

hand 2 i'd probably fold depending on opponent

hand 3 is often a fold but a call vs some people you'll know when to call though if in doubt fold i guess.

hand 4 you can fold if you like I suppose its pretty weak though its opponent dependent i guess.

hand 5 yeah, call.

limp aces....lol

thanks for the replies guys

hand 4 was supposed to be another qq hand, i posted some1elses hand by mistake, its fixed now.
i limped aces obv coz i was utg and the table was aggresive and i was hoping for some1 to raise/squeeze

ill wait for a few more replies b4 posting some of the results.

What I'd do:

Hand 1 - call - if he shows up with top set then make a note - most times this is a draw but I've seen idiots do this with AA.
Hand 2 - cry because you should have bet more pf and more on the flop but as played I would be tempted to call just because you have induced a big bet and he obliged but it's tough as I wouldn't want to be in that spot and am not really sure where to go from here! Despite being tempted as played I probably fold. In your 'what if' I fold.
Hand 3 - fold and spew at limping
Hand 4 - Not sure with no reads. Most times I would like a shove to his weak 4bet PF (reads?) but you have got yourself here again by not betting big enough with your 3bet. I probably fold as played.
Hand 5 - No - I am never folding this - maybe I should as he is often showing up with AJ/KJ/22/77 but for better than 3:1 on my money I would have a hard time putting this down - if you have reads on him then it may be clearer.

66 - I would call. Villain has propably a flush or combo draw or an overpair. Would he overbet and try to push you out with bigger set? I doubt if he knows what he is doing.

AKs - Why 4bet pf if you are ready to fold post flop on a board like that? You are so deep in stacks that I would propably have called villains pf reraise and check on the flop.

AA - typical problems with limped aces, you have no idea what sb might hold. Imo smells a set here even though many players calls from sb with total crap as well, so two pairs or 7 with overcard also possible. I would fold.

QQ1 - I would not have reraised him again on the flop. My line would be check-call, check-fold depending on the size of the bets. You have only 2 outs for the hand you can be sure you are ahead. This may cost you a lot if villain continues betting on the turn and river.

QQ2 - I would have called his 3 bet and see the flop relatively cheap. Fold on the flop.

QJo - This is tricky. Imo smells like J but you may still be ahead so I would call.
