    Default Returning to playing after a hiatus, and a few hands.

    First hand, btn is well, the type of player you like at your table. Anyways,

    Hero (SB) ($1.72)
    BB ($2.78)
    UTG ($4.21)
    UTG+1 ($1.02)
    MP1 ($6.18)
    MP2 ($0.95)
    MP3 ($4.66)
    CO ($1.52)
    Button ($8.75)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with ,
    3 folds, MP2 calls $0.02, MP3 calls $0.02, 1 fold, Button calls $0.02, Hero bets $0.12, 3 folds, Button calls $0.10

    Flop: ($0.30) , , (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.20, Button calls $0.20

    Turn: ($0.70) (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $0.56, Hero folds

    Total pot: $0.70 | Rake: $0

    He has limped AK utg and bet 5xbb with KQ in mp. I am mixed on what he has, but he probably hit something given the board. Against preflop range I guess I have about 45% equity, but that is not adjusted for the board, more likely I have about 35-40%.

    2nd hand,

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (Button) ($1.91)
    SB ($5.28)
    BB ($5.05)
    UTG ($1.14)
    UTG+1 ($2.35)
    MP1 ($0.92)
    MP2 ($4.55)
    MP3 ($0.36)
    CO ($7.53)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with ,
    4 folds, MP3 bets $0.36 (All-In), CO calls $0.36, Hero raises to $1.91 (All-In), 2 folds, CO calls $1.55

    Flop: ($4.21) , , (3 players, 2 all-in)

    River: ($4.21) (3 players, 2 all-in)

    Total pot: $4.21 | Rake: $0.20

    MP3 is on tilt, CO is BTN from the last hand, and I can't pass this opportunity. The question I have for this hand is; if CO raises to isolate do we get in here or not?

    3rd hand,

    I think I really messed up the flop here, I think I should be raising his donk bet, but... Anyways lay down on the turn, and I always have to ask if I did the right thing when laying down A's.

    Against the same guy as the last AA hand. My guess is that he got me to fold my AA about 5 hands prior, he is just trying to do it again. Should I have walked away from this one?

    all of these hands are kind of boring
    so I'll just comment on your thinking: don't call just because someone made you fold aces when you were beat a few hands ago

    that said, I wouldn't fold either because your hand is pretty strong on a really drawy board

    I will try to post some more interesting hands in the future, but to be honest most of the hands I play in are pretty boring.
