Not to much info on villain other than he is a LAG. I guess my line is the only way to go? So i wonder about sizing here….

This is FT, villain active and i have been very tight at this FT and been eaten by the blinds the last 3 orbits or so. Is this a defend, Donk rip any flop giving me a pair, flush draw, str8 draw and c/r c/c when he hit a very good nutted flop?

Hand 2 I think is very good. Raising flop stands to put you in some awkward spots, and the small sizing on the turn is a good in a spot that a lot of people get wrong IMO.
Hand 1, I would like your sizing better if you were a bit deeper. As it stands, it’s hard for me to see you ever folding to a shove after making this raise, which forces you to have a disproportionately strong range for putting 96K into the pot, given that you’re effectively committing 216K. I’d prefer either to shove or to raise small enough that you can have a raise-fold range, so that you can induce shoves from worse. I think that would be something like 60 – 70K.

Hand 3 -You have 7 big blinds. You can never call. It’s either a shove or fold. Given the lack of fold equity if you shove – the villain is getting close to 2 to 1 on a call, I say you made the right play by folding.

Hand 1) one could consider just calling here or raise smaller. As Andrew said your size is very hard to do with a “bluff”
Hand 2) well played
Hand 3) i like calling here and going broke on top pair, 2nd pair on non A,K board and all draws. Calling and folding when miss will not affect your FEQ much for the next couple of hands where you have to gii

That’s not a rule I’m familiar with…
FWIW I call here.

You said you like the small sizing on the turn in hand 2, can you explain why? I would’ve bet bigger because I’d think I’m giving a spade the right odds to call with just a third of the pot or even induce a reraise since he can represent a lot of strong hands after that 3 bet..

It’s an easy size to balance. This is a spot where I want to bet a really depolarized range, everything from one pair without a draw all the way up to the nuts. Small sizing is best for that, because many hands, arguably like this one, won’t be in such good shape if a big bet goes into the pot. You’re only thinking here about what could go wrong, but what about the things that could go right? Like hands that will call drawing very thin (AK/AQ with no fd), that would have folded to a bigger bet? The fact that I could make this same bet with sets and flushes makes me not worry so much about a bluff raise, not to mention that that sort of thing just doesn’t happen as much as people tend to worry it will.
Also you aren’t giving V the right odds to call with a random spade and no other outs. Even if he gets a marginally profitable call with some of his draws, that’s barely worse for you than if he folds them to a larger bet. On the other hand, when he ck/c or ck/raises hands that are crushing you, you’re going to be really glad you didn’t bet more. And when he ck/calls hands that you’re crushing, that’s a lot better for you than when he folds them.
