Alright, as you came begging and scraping for responses to your Ima-losin-my-NL-posting-cherry thread, probably worried that you're becoming known as an AG, oops, I mean BTPC only sort of guy, and that your perceived value to the forum will accordingly plummet, I'll do my best... after all, you may be a huge flatulent indolent wall climber, but your OUR huge flatulent indolent wall climber.

btw I really hate these Cakes HHs

Hand #1 -Don't know WTF his MR means, a big pair maybe? CR looks good, but CRAI is a bit OTT, though I've seen these called often enough by Ax.

Hand #2 - tough one. You bet the flop and turn and he MRs you. I'd say his range here is 76, 87, 86, 66, 77, 88, A6, A7, A8 and all sorts of hh, heavily weighted towards the big hands so I'd want a cheap showdown. I think you played it fine.

Hand #3 - don't like this one. 1/2 stacked I'd just 4bet shove preflop, esp. OOP.
