It is probably a good rule of thumb to just raise AQ, and either call a 3-bet from a loose player, or fold to a 3 bet from a tight player.

Wtf is this? Min raising from UTG is just silly don't do it. Fold this hand preflop. You should be raising like AJs+ AQo+ KQs and maybe limping with small pps from UTG. Just fold everything else when you are learning how to play.

You have flopped a huge draw no doubt about it. 2 overcards, open ended straight draw, and flush draw. You are a HUGE favourite over A9 here (almost 70%). However, this still isn't the way to play the hand. Either bet, then shove if raised, or check raise. Don't open shove into a tiny pot...it makes no sense at all. However, this hand isn't as bad as when the money went in you were a huge favourite. There is absolutely nothing wrong with stacking on a huge flop like this, but there are MUCH better ways to get your money in than open shoving. So ignore anybody who says you shouldn't stack in this situation because at NL5 you should every single time. You just got unlucky.

Here I made a similar play. I'm not sure the odds warranted these all in shoves.

Think pot control here. Your hand really isn't that good...you have no draws and top pair with a mediocre kicker. With all that action you should probably fold here, but if you do want to play you have to flat call and try and see SD cheap and you really are going to have to fold to a bet on the turn. Think small hand, small pot. Your hand is not a strong hand here at all.

Oh dear where to begin. This is another disaster hand. First, just fold preflop. Your hand is AWFUL and it is the type of hand that is just going to get you into trouble. Even if you are getting good odds to call, this hand is just going to get you into trouble. Limp from SB with hands that have the potential to get you the BEST hand. J3o doesn't so just fold it and save the headache.

What can i even say to this? Once again, you are risking your entire stack for almost no gain. But not only this, you are narrow his calling range to only hands that can beat you or chop. He can ONLY call with a J, QQ-KK or an ace. Therefore, you cannot get called and win the hand and as such this is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY -EV.
