Raise the initial bet on the flop. I know it got re-raised behind you, but keep away from results based thinking. you HAVE to raise this flop.But seeing that you called, I will go a totally different route and say I almost favor folding the flop when its comes back two cold to you. MP3 waking up here is almost certainly a set or poorly played A5. I know I am going to get called weak/tight for this, but I prefer letting this hand go right here.The rest is fine, Im sure you just paid off a set or straight though.

I don't like slowplaying here considering he is a PF raiser and is leading the flop. Raise the flop. Raise the turn.

Exactly why I don't like the way I played it.

Okay, raise and call a 3-bet on the turn. Check/fold the river if he bets again?

I felt as though had I raised the flop, he have called, and then check folded on the turn. You're most-likely right though.Thanks for the response Absolute.

Ooh, micro-limits, I know these. :DHand 1: Yeah, fold the flop when it comes two-cold back to you. I do agree that you also have to make that initial raise to see where you're at on the flop; that way, the subsequent 3-bet and cap will let you know "PLEASE FOLD YOU'RE BEING SLAUGHTERED THANKS"Hand 2: I actually don't mind the way you played it so much, mainly because I've played enough micro-limit that when a player who can best be described as a calling station (As UTG+1 seems to be) wakes up and starts betting, it usually means big trouble. I don't know if this changes in higher limits, but calling stations don't usually bet unless they pick up something huge.Hand 3: I see your logic, but depending on how aggressive he actually is (IE is he disciplined enough to slow down to a raise unless he's SURE he's good, or will he keep right on firing even after you've played back at him?), I'd have raised the turn at latest, maybe even the flop if he's a plain maniac as opposed to just aggressive. He'll probably check/call the river at worst (Meaning you net the same as you did here), and may well lead into you again, meaning you'd pick up an extra BB.
