Carrera

So lately, I've been wondering if I totally suck, or am just going through a bad period.

Given these hands, at least I can get lucky sometimes, so I probably just suck

I got involved with the same guy several times, and I think he had enough.

First hand, river raise probably too big.

Anyone think the second hand is too aggressive?

Third, wow, sometimes the river doesn't kill me.

First and third, nh, second I raise less on the flop. Go $240 or $250 at the most. I know, you think, we mayaswell just stick it in. Still go $250 max there .

First hand: you have to raise smaller for better value. I know I push in the heat of the moment, but think about what he can call with.
Second hand: Looks fine, though effective stacks are 200BBs, so a smaller raise as Ugi suggested is not bad.
Third hand: Perfect!

I don't know how much value there is in hand 1 on the river. I'd probably miraise. Villain just can't stack off without a straight and then you'd be paying extra rake.

Think about 3 bet preflop?

Second hand, I would flat the 3 bet and let him take the lead on the turn.

Third hand, pretty standard I'd think.

Based on villains play in the other 2 hands it's my opinion that you're going to have a tough time overbetting the flop with your initial raise but I'd probably go about $200 on the reraise because I want him to call or push. He seems to want to pay to see cards but pushing shuts him down.

Please use HH converter. Those fancy card images are useless, if I can't tell what the pot size is on each street.

You set it up nicely for him on the turn with your bet. If you bet, you have to call and pray. Try check/raising or pushing on the turn some times. As played, I prefer a check/raise.
