This may seem like a strange question but I'm curious what kind of "player category" I would fall under based on 3 different hands. I obviously realize that by asking this, you guys would need to see more of my hands and how I play but I'm just curious.

Hand 1:

I'm dealt AQd (suited) in small blind in a NL10 6 seat game.

Middle position raises. I call. (wondering here if I should have 3 bet but I didn't cause i'm in bad position)

Flop: Q62 rainbow

I bet out for value at 50% of pot, and he calls.

Turn: 10c (this makes a club flush draw)

I bet out 3/4 of the pot, he re-raises all in. I call.

Flop: 5d (no flush obviously)


He shows KQc and I take down the pot.



Hand 2:

I'm dealt A2o in the big blind. Everyone folds except for Hero on button who doesn't raise, he just calls. I check.

Flop: 246 rainbow

I check. He bets slightly under 50% and I call.

Turn: 2

I bet 50% pot, he raises. I call.

Turn: 9

I check. He bets slightly under 50%. I wait and think for a bit. I fold and show my trips. Other players at table say "Horrible fold". The player who won says "nope" and turns over 44 and shows the boat.

Something was weird about when I bet the turn and he raised knowing I could have trips. That set off alarms.


Hand 3:

I'm dealt JJ in small blind. Cutoff raises 3x and I just call.

Flop: 5K10 rainbow

I check, he bets 3/4 pot and I call.

Turn: A

I check, he bets 3/4 pot again and I fold and show my JJ.

He wins and shows QQ.



I know this is only 3 hands but if you were to judge me at my point, would you call me a NIT? TAG?

Did I make some betting, calling or checking mistakes?

Thanks.

hand 1 calling OOP with AQ is pretty bad, should be 3betting

hand 2 agree pretty horrible fold, you may have got lucky but your missing out on money in the long run, he does this with way worse hands than boats

hand 3 again just flatting OOP is bad it gives us no extra information on what our opponent has, a CO's range is probably quite wide (player dependent) at 10NL if we 3bet and get called we can start to narrow villains range down, with no 4bet we can essentially rule out KK/AA unless villain is capable of being tricky which we have to consider.

I can't say what type of player you are with a sample of 3hands.

Calling OOP position with AQ is not always bad and neither is flatting JJ OOP . It all depends on the opponent.

circumstantial, but so is everything in poker, one thing might work at one table and be completely useless at another, I happen to think that in most circumstances that just calling OOP is rarely ever a good play.

With the limited info given here it is impossible to say if it's good or bad, he may have been right to call OOP. If we could know more about the opposition then it would help a lot here.

Cash game, it is a treacherous game, be careful with your bank roll, because poker is itself complex, but when it comes to cash game is extremely complex. OPINION know who asked about his game and is not what I'm talking about, but keep my posting this as a warning and good luck at the tables.
