I'm making two intentional adjustments to my play. The first is that I'm going to overlimp a little more often. The second is that I'm going to play around with open-limping from UTG if the players behind me are loose. I haven't decided how loose I would want them to be, but I'm thinking two 50+ VPIP players would be sufficient. I'm also going to try to be more focused on reviewing my play, which is time consuming, but healthy.

Hand 1: Here's a pretty standard AK hand. The villain who 3-bet preflop was fairly aggro, and I would have just called preflop if it were heads up, hoping to flop an ace or king and be able to squeeze out extra bets on the big streets. However, with the two other players in the pot, I decided that it would be best to play it straight and cap it. Everything after that is standard value betting.

Preflop: Hero is MP with As, Kh.
1 fold, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, 1 fold, SB calls, BB calls, Hero caps, CO calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (16 SB) 9d, 2d, Ad (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, CO folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Turn: (9.50 BB) Qc (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB calls.

River: (12.50 BB) 7c (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB folds.

Results:
SB has Js Qd (one pair, queens).
Hero has As Kh (one pair, aces).

Hand 2: This is a non-standard play against a non-standard villain. He was only at the table for about 5 hands before this one, and he had been playing a strange aggro blind steal/blind defense game. When I paired my ace, I felt that he was most likely folding if I bet (unless he had a pair), but he would most likely bet anything if I checked to him. I should have check-raised the turn. There are enough draws that he could have to force him to call the turn check-raise, and then I don't know what happens on the river. Probably I bet, and he folds. I don't know if he would bluff again on the end.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Ad, Jh.
2 folds, Button raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, Button calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) Th, 3s, 7d (2 players)
Hero bets, Button calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) As (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

River: (6.25 BB) 5c (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Hero has Ad Jh (one pair, aces).
Button has 6d 9h (high card, ace).

Hand 3: This is villain's first hand at the table. I think the turn bet-fold with middle pair is easy and standard against an unknown.

Preflop: Hero is MP with Ah, 9h.
1 fold, MP raises, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 9s, 3s, Qc (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) Ks (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero folds.

Hand 4: It turns out I had the best hand on the turn. I'm pretty sure folding is correct anyway against two players.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9d, Kd. UTG posts a blind of $1.
UTG (poster) checks, 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) Th, 8s, 9c (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, Hero calls, BB calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) 4h (3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, Hero folds, BB calls.

River: (6.75 BB) Js (2 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, BB raises, UTG calls.

Results:
BB has Kh Qs (straight, king high).
UTG has 7d Ah (straight, jack high).

Hand 5: This was an unusual blind defense hand. When he checked the flop and I improved, I wasn't sure whether to bet or check-raise. I went with the check-raise option and it turned out to work well for me. I haven't got the slightest idea what he had. The most reasonable thing would be some hand with two clubs, so perhaps KT of clubs or something like that. I actually thought the ace killed me on the end.

Preflop: Hero is BB with Qh, 7h.
Button raises, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 2s, 9c, 6h (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.

Turn: (2.25 BB) Qc (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, BB raises, Button calls.

River: (6.25 BB) As (2 players)
BB bets, Button folds.

Hand 6: This was a total surprise to me. I had clicked check-fold on both the flop and turn. I don't know if I can call on the river because the pot is too small. BB's preflop raise was pretty terrible.

Preflop: Hero is CO with 8s, Ts.
1 fold, MP calls, Hero calls, 1 fold, SB completes, BB raises, MP calls, Hero calls, SB calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 5c, 3c, Kc (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (4 BB) 4h (4 players)

SB has 7s 4d (one pair, fours).
BB has 9h Qh (high card, king).
MP has 9s Ad (high card, ace).
Hero has 8s Ts (one pair, tens).

Hand 7: No choice but to value bet when in position. I guess he had already committed to showing down AK regardless of what happened, so it's his loss.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Ts, 8s.
Hero raises, 1 fold, SB 3-bets, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (9 SB) 3d, 4c, Tc (3 players)
