pretty drawy board even though i flopped it. Correct to reraise the raise to make a flush draw or different straight draw pay or should i trap and flat the raise?

will reply tomorrow when I'm not so sleepy

Hand 1: bet more on the flop so its not quite so obvious we have AK, otherwise fine

Hand 2: fold pre otherwise ok, maybe raise a little smaller, .6 is more than pot.

Hand 3: there are some players against whom I may lead the turn here, but your line is ok. You don't get value by raising the flop, you have a draw in a multiway pot, best value is to just call. If you raise you often end up HU vs a made hand for a larger pot which is not what you want.

1.) meh, I think 1/2 pot is fine here. He has a mid-pair a lot, so a smaller cb accomplishes the same thing as a larger one. I don't think we have to worry about a 5NL player 'smelling' weakness and bluff raising after we 3-bet preflop.

2.)I'd never fold this preflop, but maybe it is correct to do so...seems weak.

3.) agree

In hand #3 I lead turn 100% of the time. Villain bet 1/6 pot on a drawy flop so I'm not exactly counting on strength from him to bet the turn for me, and it's a disaster when it checks through like that.
