The read on the player is that he/she is very tight, only plays premium hands, and does not donk away chips with speculative hands.

Do you like the check? Or no? I can't put him/her on a possible QQ or JJ, but the river seemed to kill me.

I like betting the turn in the first AA hand
fold to a raise against straight forward players.
If called on turn, I would c/c this river.


If player makes moves often, then check/call down looks good on turn and river


She doesn't have QQ- enough to bet out or certainly to 3-bet river.

Would she ever fold AA on river, even to a c/r? not worth it.

my limit is rusty

I also thought that I should've lead the turn and if raised then c/c the river too. Since Villian wasn't playing too many pots, and was SUPER tight, I put Villian on AK or maybe QQ. When the turn came it was even less likely for Villian to have AK at that point, but that is what I initially put him on. I jus thought it was a slim chance to 3 bet for value. Thank you for your input. What about the others?

AQ looks good

I think about just calling the turn 3-bet and bet/calling the river

But that works best against hands that are semi bluffing turn with marginal made hands and looknig to get a free showdown. i think villain has 66 or AT enough here to bet river for us. So, I like getting 4 bets in against AT on turn, just in case he checks behind with it on river. 66 will bet no mater what.

to be clear, I fold if raised on turn.

What are we beating?
against a straight forward player.

After more consideration, I'd c/c down against a lot of players on turn and river. But I'm never leading river. QQ might might stay in and bet if we c/c down, whereas leading gets raised by 2AK's and we split with the 1AA

I felt I had to lead the river because at that point he would pay me off with any pocket pair.

AdKd,

seems fine to me.

Unless he's very loose aggressive, I don't think you should lead the river.
He has a boat to often

Na, it's possible it doesn't work yet.

Like I said, last I checked, they were still having problems.

Hand 1 looks fine to me. You're not losing more based on your line than if you bet/folded the turn.

Hand 2: I only call the 3-bet unless you have been trying to push players off stuff on 4th street and have gotten called previously

Hand 3: It's a bet/call against a TAG. I'm almost certain he'll check behind if he doesn't have a boat.
