I have been active in this forum in the past but kinda stopped posting. I have decided to come back and post a series of hands from recent sessions to provoke some analysis and discussion (some hands that I won and some hands that I lost)

Quick background on me: I turned a bank roll of 75 bucks into a thousand over the last year, I withdrew 400 leaving me with 600 to play 1-2 and a plan for the summer to play more and start playing semi-serously. (I play on pokerroom if that matters to anyone)

4 folds, MP3 calls, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB 3-bets, MP3 folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.75 BB) (2 players)

if you want to know the result of the hand or have any questions concerns comments etc. please feel free to PM me, otherwise post away

He has a bigger pocket pair. After we're 3-bet on the flop we should probably fold the turn UI. Against an unknown I tend to call these down heads up but I'm pretty sure its -EV.

All we beat is overs, which are very unlikely given the flop action, absent a read, and we beat 22, 33, 77, 88, 99, 4x, 5x, 6x. That is all. Most players won't 3-bet from the BB with a wide range, especially when there's already been a limper, so I'm sure we can limit his holdings to 99-AA most of the time.

We are behind most of it.

Furthermore, AK got there on the turn, if he is an agressive type, and 99 beat us on the river.

It's an ugly hand, I hate it. I probably call down, but like psujohn said, it is probably -ev, so I should fold.

fold flop unless he's a lag
fold turn unless you're a fish.

w/o the K, I'd call down 1/7 times..w/o a read.
I'm folding to the flop 3 bet a lot.
Sometimes the BB has a real hand and 3-bets preflop and the flop.

AK: 16 hands
AA-JJ: 24.
