K, I've received some hand histories from Fletchdad for review.
I was curious after seeing his stats in his own thread, but then this session seems quite different; I've got him with cbet of 80% in here, which is getting into my wheelhouse rather than his normal one.
Here's a few questions that I came across:
To me this 3bet is undersized. I don't have all the stats that you have on this player and I don't play a lot of 6 max and I've never played the Euro tables, so if you tell me that this is standard and it gets the standard folds/calls, then I have no problem with it, but my standard here is raising to 1.00; pot plus a little more because you're going to be out of position post flop if you're called. This size is fine when you're in position.

This hand you get 3bet, and a small size. Maybe snap fold is your automatic reaction to being 3bet, but because of the small size, and you will get position, and you have deep stacks, you have implied odds to set mine here.

Here I don't like the cbet. Maybe you're intentionally pushing to cbet more often in this session, but 4 way, with fishy callers, I only bet this flop with clear value; at least TPTK/Overpairs/sets.
The more other players you have in any flop, the stronger you need your hand to be because you're more likely NOT to get folds.

Here the raise is questionable from early, but I'd expect it from a LAGgier player than your game indicates. But firing three barrels just because you caught top pair is too much aggression, imho. Unless your opponent really is likely the type to call 3 streets with middle pairs or a weaker Ace (of which there are few given the rest of the board), especially when a 7 gets there with a straight on the river.

Overall your game is fine, I think. I do get a sense sometimes of firing one more barrel than optimal, as if you have some difficulty with aggression once you've caught something, even if it's second pair. And there were a couple small questionable river calls, as if you suspect your opponents of bluffing more often than they actually are, which might account for your 42% showdown win rate over this small sample.
