Hand 2
No real reads on villain. He has been playing alot of pots. Usually coming in for a raise when he plays. How was this played. How is the preflop call? Would you recommend a raise? How was the flop played? Should I raise here? Should I check behind on the turn so I don't get pushed of my hand? And once I get to the river I have to call as I have the nuts. I am just wondering about how PF, Flop, and Turn were played.

Hand 3
Villain is 25.4/6.8/2 over ~ 60 hands. Should I call his re-raise PF? Once I get to the flop here, what should I do? I find I get confused in situations like these. Should I raise here to see where I am and fold to a re-raise. Should I just call and re evaluate on the turn?

Hand 4
Villain is 27/10.5/3 over ~ 70 hands. How is PF played? Should I re-raise here to take control of the hand or just call as I did? Anyone recommend folding PF? I called on the flop for a few reasons. His flop bet looks really weak and I may actually have the best hand right now. I also was thinking that I can probably take the pot off of him on the turn when/if he checks. Does anyone recommend playing the hand like this on the flop? Should I have just folded. Also, once he calls on the turn, I put him on a hand like AxJh or something like that. How was the bet size on the turn? On the river, how do you like my raise here? Should I just give up here?

I'm not an expert by any stretch, but i'll start with hand 4.
Post flop - this looks ugly to me. If Villian has a K you're struggling, and post Turn, 6's are out. I'd have quit after seeing the Raise post Flop.
Hand 1:
You look ok up to the River, but an All-in from Paco indicates he has something good - Q or 5's. I wouldn't hace called this bet.
Hand 2:
Looks good to me. Nice of him to go all-in with your Flush !
Hand 3:
Tough call this - no opinion really ! (sorry)
What do your "25.4/6.8/2 over ~ 60 hands" mean ?

Concussed is right on in his analysis of thehands. I, however, would call a post flop bet in position with 99 on hand 3. HE could simply have AK, so since I have position I want to see one more.

These are the stats from poker tracker. %Volume Put $ In Pot/Pre flop raise percentage/ Agression factor over approximarely 60 hands

nice hand selection. Again, no expert but will take a stab.
Hand 1 :
Suited connectors are cool, but raising from UTG? In any case this is a tough spot. He might have A5, A3 or a better 9. Do you want to risk most of your stack on Top pair weak kicker? if so, why not reraise the flop. At the moment you are playing it like a missed flop (AK or the like) reraising the flop will represent a stronger hand.
I don't think I call the allin, unless I have a good read about the dude pushing on a bluff or with 3rd button..
Hand 2 : well played. good catch
I'm a little confuse with your comment : I had to call since I had the nuts...
I'm looking at it in a different way, thanks God he got A's up and pushed since I have the nuts.
Did he show A4 or A8?
Hand 3 : Another tough spot.
Since you seem to be raising a lot pre, his reraise is not necessary a bigger PP. So yeah, I guess a call on the flop is in order. though I don't mind a fold that much as well.
Hand 4 : Easy fold on the flop. Why is a $4 into $7.5 a weak bet? However, if you sensed weakness its ok to go with your instincts.
Now if 4 into 7.5 is weak, what about 9 into 15?
You have to ask yourself is he good enough to fold a pocket pair in this situation?

I don't mind hand 1 vs someone with those stats, looks good to me esp. with the calling, let him hang himself in his aggression.

Well, here are my opinions on the hands.
Hand 1- the villain is really aggressive and will be betting no matter what. Since there were a few busted draws I think he could have been calling with a draw on the flop then betting it on the turn. Once he misses the draw he is trying to push my off the hand. I didn't think that if he had a decent hand he would bet this much since he would want to get some value out of his hand. I called and he mucked JT for a missed straight.
Hand 2- I don't really have any opinion on this hand. I was just wondering if it would have been better to check behind on the turn to take my free card to make the flush. Either way, I have to call on the river since I have the nuts. He mucked 44 for a turned set.
Hand 3- Villain has been very aggressive and could be betting AK here. I decided to raise his flop bet and then not put anymore money in the pot. He reraised me and I mucked. He is only re-reraising me here with a higher PP. I think it would have been best to just call on the flop and see what he does on the turn. If he has AK he will probably check a blank turn and if he has a high PP he will continue to bet. In hindsight I think I misplayed this hand very badly.
Hand 4- Villain is really agressive. On the river I was thinking that he was trying to make a blocking bet with a medium pocket pair or something. I think he can really only call the bet on the river with quad sixes or a K. His line doesn't really look like he has a K or quads. Anyway, he folded to my bet.
Anyway, thanks for the comments, guys. Any more opinions on hand 3? Is the general consensus just to call his flop bet and see what he does on the turn?
