It would really help if you guys could just give me some input

Hand 1 - Against this type of player I'm calling with my AJo. You are going to up against enough worse Ax & KQ, KJ, QJ, JT, T9 to make this profitable in the long run against 70/3 types.

Hand 2 - The converter appears to have messed this up royally. I'm guessing that you were in the BB against an MP limper. I'd be raising any pocket pair here and then c-bet on that flop if called. As played MP is right to float your weak flop bet and when you check the Ace, right to bet it. w/o any reads, IMHO, you have to fold this

Hand 3 - Against a short stack nit I would fold as you did.

actually for hand 2 i was UTG and folded them preflop and was wondering if that was too nitty of me

In that case, no folding a small pair in EP is not too nitty. I do it all the time unless the table is very tight or I have a big enough stack compared to the blinds to limp them IF I think I can see a cheap flop.

Hand1: What were you thinking raising the bigstack when you have decent stack yourself. Why were you raising so much? Unless bigstack was very nitty you had no business messing with him when your second in chips in a DoN. Imagine if he had AA, flatted your raise and slowplayed your ass on ace high flop. You're supposed to be nitty when you have decent stack in DoN when you're against bigstack. I'm not saying never to raise his blinds but do it very rarely so he'd assume you have monster and do it all in or actually have a monster and still raise all in. AJ of course isn't a monster though its good enough to push around the smaller stacks who are more likely to call down with weaker aces or small pairs

Hand 1 : Im a great supporter o DoN and in this position i would never in my life go hard whit AJ just fold them mate, if u are 2nd whit 6 ppl left the never raise the one whom got more chips then you.
2nd hand basic fold, not much to discuss there really.
same goes to nr 3

well it was 6 handed. it was folded to me, i raised 4xbb to try and and get the big stack to fold since his stats were 70/3 and he likes to play alot. AJ is a pretty good hand to have 6handed isnt it?
