Some hands from session.

Have just played a session of 16nl zoom and thought I would post some interesting hands from the session to hear folk's thoughts. Recently got back into poker after not playing a hand for years due to focusing on my studies. Currently rolled for 25nl but playing lower as being down-swinging a bit and lost some confidence. The session I just played is getting me back on track though, feel I played my A-game.

This hand, preflop vs the 3b I mix between 4bet and flat. Against the fishy small sizing, it is probably best to just go ahead and 4bet so possibly made a mistake there. On flop, I have a mandatory call obv. In-game on the turn, I felt that my hand is worth two streets so the choice was bet turn, check back river or check back turn and bluffcatch or value bet river. I liked the second option as we induce some river bluffs with the turn check back. On river, I felt pretty good about bet/call as felt villain's line was full of bs. I guess he may occasionally show up with 88, but was happy with the call.**

I wasn't actually too sure what to do on the river here. I felt on turn at these stakes, turns are so rarely check/raise bluffed that we get a lot of credit for this line. Obviously it's nice to block TT and QJ here so felt I had a nice combo to turn into a bluff. River may be dicey as villain probably just sigh calls down with AK but we get folds from KQ. Happy to hear people's thoughts here as may be best to give up river.

This call down was all about removal effects. I didn't think villain ever plays overpairs like this on that runout. I liked my hand as a bluff-catcher as it blocked TT and QJs (if villain ever squeezes with this). Obviously it's always dicey calling down with my hand in a 400bb pot but felt right in-game because of my removal.

This hand I felt I should be betting range (or close to it) on the flop. When cbetting flop so much, I think in theory we should have a ton of turn checks and good to include the nuts in that range. Obviously the A is good for our range though so it is probably good to do a lot of c-betting. In-game I rolled low with my RNG so decided to play my hand as a turn check with the intention of check/raising. When he checks on the turn, wasn't sure whether or not I should lead river or continue with the trap. Decided on the latter, which worked out. Obviously unlucky for him that he also had such a nutted hand.
