This type of situations cost me a lot overall I think, Is it not correct to Cbet a 3bet pot? Villain was 16/14/3 over 316 hands.

In this hand, Villain was 36/25/1 over 62 hands. I'm starting to think they bluff me high amount of time in this kind of situations. So I really shouldn't Cbet missed flop in 3bet pot?

1st hand I would have lost more because I would have gone for a 3rd street of value on the river.

2nd hand I flat preflop. He's a tight player who opens UTG so his range is strong and I think by 3betting we're folding out the hands we dominate and playing bigger pots against the big pairs. As played I do not cbet that flop. I do bet any turn if he checks again.

3rd hand is OK although I think you can shove over his flop raise and take it down a huge percentage of the time. He really never has a strong hand there so unless he flatted AA OOP or can't fold TT to a shove you'll get lots of folds. And you have 6 outs if he can't fold TT/JJ.

On the 1st hand I thought it was unnecessary to invest any more money with just over pair and his stats were something like 45/6, and if he didn't have anything, he would have likely folded it anyway = no more value.

And 3rd hand, anyone agree with WVHillbilly?

He's calling all day long on the 1st hand with any K and a lot of Tens because he's a station AND you're range for betting 3 street is mostly air. Even if he has no idea what a range is he'll get suspicious and call with worse enough to make if profitable imo. This is especially true since you hold the Ac which cuts his possible flushes way down.

You are so wrong its amazing, especially since the 5 paired. Hand #1 absolutely needs a value bet/fold on the river.

Third hand, I probably just give up, given how passive our opponent is. Also, if stacks were a little deeper, you could float his flop raise and then shove over most of his turn bets. This line becomes better if you're suited, or the 9 was a T.

I'm also down with flatting pre on hand #2. And if you 3-bet, you really gotta check that flop back. Villain's range is pretty crazy strong at that point, and is mostly TT-QQ.
