I've been losing a lot in the past few days and have felt that my game sucks basicaly, so while i was playing today i copied and pasted a lot of hands i felt unsure about into notepad to later post here, there are a lot of hands and i know that Zach wants one hand per thread, but i feel that a lot of them aren't that interesting to merit their own thread so it's better served as being a series of HHs to look over. Hand 1PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)MP ($6)Hero ($9.30)SB ($17.80)BB ($3.70)UTG ($11.40)Preflop: Hero is Button with A, A. MP posts a blind of $0.10. UTG calls $0.10, MP (poster) checks, Hero raises to $0.6, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.50, MP folds.Flop: ($1.45) 8, 3, 5 (2 players)UTG checks, Hero bets $1, UTG calls $1.Turn: ($3.45) 4 (2 players)UTG bets $2.5, Hero raises to $7.7, UTG calls $5.20.River: ($18.85) 5 (2 players)Final Pot: $18.85I'm pretty sure this is standard but want to make sure.

You have to call. Top two is way ahead of his range of betting hands here.

Threebet the flop, don't worry about him having a straight, if he does, oh well. You have to be looking to get it in when you have KK on a 352 board

I don't think I would fold this. Once again, top two is usually way ahead here. It's fairly likely the donkshove is a combodraw or a worse two pair, rather than necessarily a straight.
