Yesterday I didn't feel well for the whole day (can't get rid of this fkin cold I got a few days ago) and just browsed some forums and watched CR videos (and an episode of Rome - good tv series btw). In the evening I felt kinda better and I felt like playing some poker. I was playing pretty well, making just 2 or 3 minor mistakes in small/medium pots. I was really focused on the game and I found that talking about everything while playing, just like CR pros do on their videos, helps me concentrate a lot so I'm going to try doing it every time I play (the only thing is that my flatmates think I'm retarted cause I'm Polish I'm talking to myself in English while playing poker). There was a lot of action on the tables so I couldn't pay attention to everything that was going on at the tables but I think I did my best. I had a nice table with 2 maniacs (stats like 70/40 each). One of them had a 200bb stack but someone else busted him The other guy was buying in for like 60bb and I staked him once or twice. I had to finish my session early as I had to pick up my friend from the bus stop. Here are my stats and some hand histories (comments appreciated as always):

Ok so villain in this hand was about 23/18 and I saw him 3betting a couple of times. We were over 200bb deep and his reraise wasn't big so I decided to call as I had some good implied odds and I knew that often, I'll be able to take this pot away from him on flop or turn. I flopped an OESD. I decided to call his bet since he very well could've had KK or QQ and if I hit I'd stack him and if he had sth else there was a good chance that he'll give up on turn and I'll be able to take the pot away from him. I made kind of a smallish bet on turn but I figured it might look stronger and was cheaper at the same time. Thoughts?

Villain was a 70/40 donk that was miniraising loads of flops but I had no idea how to play it in unraised pot 200bb deep. Anyone?

I like my turn check here - I've got a flush draw and if he's got a higher str8, then I don't want to get pushed out of the hand. Can I fold the river?

I felt a bit like a pussy folding it but the pot was 3way and villain seemed tight and decent. Should I at least call the flop?
That's it for now, I'm going to watch a new CR video and then play some poker.

3. I like, however. I'm often taking villians line with monster's and check/raise the turn to fuck over floaters and draws. Just take a note on him if he does that or gives up like here.
4. Hard spot but I guess you played it right
5. I think you played it fine. I'd probably call river too since it's not that obvious that he has the T and if you start folding this type of hands it'll be exploidable. Once in a while you'll have to look people up.
6. Unless he does that shit often I guess it's ok to fold. Some people just loves to do that on paired board though:/
