Hi peeps :P
I havent really been playing much lately. Most of the time Ive spent studying. Im reading Easy Game, The Mental Game of Poker and I'm watching videos. I also started a book called Talent is Overrated the other day. I've only read like 80 pages but I'm left with the feeling that I've been told the same thing over and over again. It's an interesting thing that I'm being told but...come on, move on to the next, or the proof or whatever. 370 pages left so I guess there is more to it :P
Only played 2.5 hours yesterday and I sat down for a session today but the games werent very good cause there isnt much traffic at the site Im playing right now, so I only played for half an hour. I think I played pretty well both times.
Here are some "interesting" hands. I'd love some opinions:
MP is a reg, 20/18, AF 6.0, Agg% 27, 3b 7.4, f3b 69, cbet flop 83, cbet turn 3 out of 7 times, c/r turn 2/7 times, 568 hands (those stats are including this hand) I called cause i'm expecting him to give up a ton of dead money on the turn with this huge cbet%, when he raised I figured his value range is too small for me to fold, cause i dont think he does that with better Js so i called and was going to fold the river to any bet. What do you think, +EV?

CO is a monkey fish - 80/34, 18.8 3bet over 114 hands. SB is 80/19, AF 2.1, Agg% 35, 3b 12.5, 59 hands. I bet small cause I felt I can get called by worse and didnt want to bet/call vs his stack cause I didnt think he's bluffing or value raising worse. Any thoughts?

CO is a reg, 22/16, AF 2.1, Agg% 28, 3b 6.6, f3b 46, 4b 14%, cbet 58, river agg% 26. First - do you think I should have 3bet him preflop?
I checked the turn hoping he'd rep it. Maybe I should have bet cause I will with my air and I have a note that he is tricky so I didnt want to get raised, plus I thought he can check back a Q there cause of a note that he didnt cbet TPGK on dry flop and called two bets on turn and river. My call was motivated by both inconsistency in his line (though with the notes I probably should fold) and I thought it would be some relatively cheap noteworthy information so I called. What do you think? If he had cbet, I would have folded, agree?

Same villain from last hand. His MP open is 15%, but his UTG is 17, so I guess its about the same range. I figured with his low cbet and my decent equity hand I can defend, though BB has a 7.1 squeeze from a 496 hand sample but I dont think he's squeezing an early reg open and a reg call very loosely. Standard postflop I think. What would you guys change about the way I played this?

BB was a stationy fish. SB is a bad (i think) reg, 25/16, AF 2.4, Agg% 29, fold to cbet 54, fold to turn cbet 0/5 (incl this), flop c/r 5% (56) but I dont think the sample is large enough to be making many conclusions (i dont know if this makes my bluff better or worse lol). Flop is standard cbet I think, on the turn I thought he doesnt have AK, i think AJ would raise the flop often and AT and below will fold to 3 barrels. Agree?

BB is 58/12, AF 1.5, Agg% 38, 3b 2.0, fold to cbet 30, F cbet raise is 3/20 times 150 hands.
BU is 61/3, AF 1.1, Agg% 30, 3b 7.7, fold to F cbet 30, raise F cbet 2/10 times, 38 hands.
What do I do? I'm in bad shape vs a better flushdraw and I do expect one of them to turn up with one, but also with a worse one, as well as a bunch of combodraws and BU can have some overpairs. He has only raised a couple of hands so imo he can even have TT or JJ there. Still, I dont think shipping it would TOO bad, right?
