re- hand 1 I think I like floating better also. If I had the nfd and a gutter then I think it makes it a easy shove
re- hand 3- while I wont disagree that checking is better, I think u misunderestimate how many worse Qxxx hands he has here, and overestimate hsi ability to fold them despite only beating a bad bluff. THis guy was russian and a pretty huge spew factory from what I had seen
just wanna add here that I still have no clue what to do, IM just trying toi play devils advocate. IM not trying to say that I disagree, cos I honestly dont knw just trying to get the most discussion possible
thanks for every1 that responded so far

What I meant by bet sizing is that this bet size is going to get played back at quite a bit. Whether its your standard play or not is sort of irrelevent I guess. I think the lighter you bet here, the more you're subject to being played back at and having to guess. Where as when you bet this a bit harder, the frequency that he trys something drastically declines and its much easier to indentify when you are behind and not making a bigger mistake.
re highlighted part: This is how I learned most of my poker. I literally would comment on any hand and argue my point and try to learn other ways of thinking. I'd play devils advocate ALL the time just to try to see if there is either a different way to play the hand or a different way to think about the hand. And it has payed HUGE dividends in the long run.
For hand 1, I think you can only flat with the draw/float if you intend to be bluffing a good % of the time when he slows down. And I guess you should also assume that he will likely slow down quite a bit on a majority of turn/river combinations and allow you to bluff too. Just something to consider before you try it.
Hand 3- There is only 2 other queens in the deck. He splits you with AQ, beats you with Q7. KQ/QJ/QT etc you are ahead of but theres not a ton of playable combinations that he'd c/c c/c c/c you here with. I see only KQ/QJ and thats it on this board, and I still think thats a stretch. I just think there is more of a chance that he has a air and bluffs than he has a worse queen and calls. And even if its exactly 50/50, the small fact that he still could have you beat here adds more weight to just check/calling. I'm guesing he had QJish in this hand?
