I'm never reraising OOP preflop with no reads here, this early, with an often dominated hand

Strange spot here..It would be pretty miraculous to get check raised three times in one hand lol

I'm not sure if I want to give him a chance to reopen up the betting here and I think I might check behind, unless you have a read that he is stubborn and doensn't want to fold when its clear hes beat...

You should reraise the turn in the 2nd hand. I don't think it's close at all, to be honest.

I bet T1200 in the first hand as well.

I'm not folding a flush here. That's why I raise the turn. If you want to fold to a shove, then you should play it like you did, and probably check behind on that river. I don't think that's the best line though. We've got the 3rd nut flush, but there are a lot of combos of hands worse than ours that he could play, and would call off here with. I think the most +EV line would be to get it in on the turn.

im not folding the flush here either.. if your want to be cautious i would just call... if not then raise!!

First hand I hate to give up control of the hand, but it looks like you're either way ahead or way behind, I'd make a strong bet on the turn, maybe 1400, and if he's still interested hope to hit the straight on the river, maybe trips. If not, check?? tough spot.

Second hand i'm not folding, value bet the river. I don't get the two check raises, after the first one he has to know the you know that he's strong, but you still bet behind his check. This is either a poorly played 2-pair or set, or perhaps AA. As played I bet the pot on the river, and hope he doesn't have a hand he can let go of.
