I feel real good about my game at the moment. I know the up swing is happening today actually. All my big hands are going to be getting payed and the times when I am a 95% favorite I think the 5% chances have had their fair share and it is my turn. With that said I still might be missing value by overbetting some rivers or raising to big when I have the goods. I need to work on betting sizes so to maximize my value when I have the goods. Also I plugged the leak from the SB but now I am spewing from the BB. I need to fix this asap. Funny thing is I am not losing any monster pots only 2 50 bigblind pots and like 3 of the top 10 losers are when I 3bet from the blinds and my cbet failed. One thing I think I noticed too last night was that I have been 3betting alot less and just calling with SC IP. I dont like that as aggression wins. I will be getting back to my aggressive ways asap too. Now some hand;
Hand 1: Villain is 66/5/.5 Is this a spew as I put this guy dead on a Q when he calls my turn bet? He tanks the shove too. Seriously he hollywoods and lets the timer run near out and then gets it in. I so want to fold and think a great layer might. Granted I think we all have seen 99 or 88 in this spot.

Hand 2: Villain is 43/12/.75 he has some suspect HUD numbers yet he is a regular. We have tangled quite a bit as he loves to call raises OOP and float. I would like to say my play is standard and I have seen this line being played alot, yet I think due to player history this isnt. After thinking about it this guy almost never has 3bet me that I can remember so getting it in here stinks. I think I can call and get it in if I hit. Instead I choose to play it fast and it bites me. Is this just variance again?

Hand 1: I don't think I would ever fold in this spot with those odds.
Hand 2: I often get AI PF w/AK and don't think it's as bad as some think.....but not sure, need to look into this more. I think stacking off PF w/AK is fine for 2 reasons...one you can win often enough and two you build an image to get more calls w/ your big hands. Although I prefer to be the one pushing w/AK not calling, but you can't fold here vs the short stack.
Hand 1: I probably just shove the river myself.
Hand 2: I don't really like 4-betting and calling a shove here. You raise from UTG+1 so he has to peg you for a better hand than normal. If he doesn't 3-bet much and min 3-bets I'd get worried. I think I'd call with AK here as it's a min-raise. If it was a bigger 3-bet I'd fold.
