Hmmmm, a little too tight here I think. We take down this pot with a raise preflop lots, we have a decent ace for back-up here if we are called, and can get lots of hands we dominate to call. The limp here isnt terrible, and shutting down once we miss a flop is fine, the issue here is flopping top pair against unknowns we have no idea of hand ranges.

Interesting one, we call from the small blind and pick up top pair, Id usually lead out here for a small feeler bet, and for a bit of value. Ive seen mistakes here like this before, flop being checked around and letting lesser hands catch up. Bet/Fold is better than check/fold IMO.

I really hope you noted this, a bad player min-raises and shows his big pair. We need to bear this in-mind and nut-mine against him the next time he min-raises.

Nice hand after a period of card-deadness. The 3 bet is essential here, a small big on the high size though. I raise to $3.50-$4.00 here, we dont want to scare them off to easily. If you feel that they will call a bigger bet though its fine.

What ??? This is WAYYYYY to tight, put the short-stack in here, or at least see a flop. A 3 bet isnt always AA or KK you know, AK is much more likely, and we can get the shortie off that on a rag low flop. JJ/1010 even 99 does this sometimes, and a bad player can do this lots with worse, even AQ/KQ/AJ occasionally. Im never folding in this pot, 4 bet it or call and at least play a flop.
