I have a bunch of hands from today and yesterday that I want some input on, I hope you're interested
Your converted hand, now with more cowbell.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em $0.10/$0.25 - 5 playersCO: $23.43 Button: $26.41 SB: $27.14 (Hero)BB: $20.69 UTG: $8.11

(2 players)(Rake: $0.90)Since I'm a newish player, I mean I have played for like a year now but probably have under 50k hands, with a huge gap of nothing in the middle of them. And only 20k of them have been on a site with competent players, so I'm not too confident with my reads and so on. Now, I figured him raising here was a sign of weakness more than strength, maybe a hand like AK or AQ with a flush draw, even AJ+FD given the two players involved. I thought I could call here, but, even
if I was right about him having AK or something, I won't be right 100% of the time and he would have outs so I folded. Would calling here be wrong? I was really unhappy folding and it took me a while to do it.

(3 players)(Rake: $2)Am I ever folding here? I don't think so (not being results oriented, I swear), my only concern was that the player seemed pretty passive, so I wasn't quite sure but I snapped him off anyways. I'm pretty sure I was right on this hand, but this was in my list of hands so I figured I may as well post it here just to see your opinions...

, and lost with a flush(Rake: $0.67)Spew? I bet a lot of these boards that are horrible, however, since I didn't barrel the ace, it kind of kills my credibility since I didn't rep the flush draw on turn. Thoughts?

Hero foldsBB collected $11.40(Rake: $0.60)This was an interesting hand... The big blind didn't have a really high 3bet %, but 100% of them were from the big blind (25% from the big blind over like 20 hands, not 20 total hands but 20 hands where he had the opportunity to 3bet in the big blind) I figured this could be an okay spot to 4bet/fold but then he called and I had no idea what to do. If I check I'm basically giving up on the hand, although I thought about calling the river, but if I cbet he is probably shipping it a good chunk of the time since most of the time people have just called my 4bets they have had JJ, QQ or AK (Which could have a flush draw or flopped flush anyways). This hand would be awesome to get some input on...

(2 players)(Rake: $0.50)I thought about 4betting here, but I felt I would have to call if I got shipped on because I 3bet him the last two hands as well and I haven't played heads up for a long long time, but I don't think stacking off 130BB deep with 88 is that great of an idea although I could be wrong. Since I called, fine as played? I mean, overpair heads up is the nuts right?

[spoiler]BB foldsHero collected $16.27(Rake: $0.83)I actually wasn't so happy with myself for even calling the flop, and for my raise on the turn. He had no history of making random check raises, and unless he had 45 I don't know how often he is folding. Am I totally off in thinking this was horrible by me, or no?Anyways, thanks, I usually just dump all my hands into a text file until I finally force myself to posting it here, sorry!/wall of text
