Ok here are a variety of hands, finished the day down a buyin which sucks because I spewed real bad in some spots and I know I can play better. There were some tough beats in there but that's going to happen. Ok so some hands I want to discuss.

I've been real active at the table so him 3 betting here is no suprize. OOP I don't know if I like the call, mistake #1. Ok as played once I get to the turn my thoughts are I could be C/C the flop with really any king here or an FD and just repecting the 3 bet. Check check turn, and I lead 1/2 pot trying to rep the king and look like a solid value bet on the river. Anyway results oriented or not I'm sure this hand is butchered that was my process please call me an idiot.

Pretty standard pre flop, once he leads in I'm thinking Q/Q K/K A/A and A/K. I shove repping the A ran into aces, my thoughts are even if I'm up againsted Q/Q A/A I still have 8 live outs. Also if he has K/Kc which has me dead in the water a shove here should push him off it since he's only getting 2:1. Really the only hand that I'm dead against is K/Kc or A/Kc so I thought a push is ok here based on that thought process. Discuss, tear me a new one, probably spewy but I do think I have FE here.

I'm playing 33/24/4 here so a lot of aggression and when I hit resistance I wasn't 2 barreling very often which is why I C/R the turn. I had him on K/J K/Q A/K so assuming the river didnt pair the board or throw paint out there I was putting in a sizable river bet. Since I hadn't been firing a lot of two barrels I think max value here is C/R. Thoughts anyone?

The villian was an utter maniac running 56/34/8 over 120 hands or so. I was really inclined to call, think this is a +ev fold based on how aggressive he had been. I don't see A/A K/K shoving here there's not value in it. Q/Q J/J maybe to get A/K out but I was really thinking he had A/K or a mid pocket. Thoughts?

yeah fold preflop on #1. Main I don't think your line is horrible but overall not worth it @ NL25 unless you really think he's smart enough. Obviously he's never folding AA here.

#2 I don't mind the push, 2nd Flu draw and probably get a fold very often IF HE WILL CBET THIS LIGHT. I think the key thing here is whether or not he Cbets a lot. If he cbets a lot I'd definitely consider this to be a good push. If he's very likely to be doing this only when strong, then I think a fold is the way to go.

#3 I definitely hit that turn. Drawy board and he probably keeps calling with a K. this is why you play lag, to get paid off by a K here! and if you Cr you gotta do it much bigger imo. Of course that's a shitty river and there's nothing much you can do unless you think he's likely to fold to a 3rd barrel. otherwise do what you did on the river.

#4 i agree with 2xopt
