The Pursuit Of Happiness

So, i played some 100nl again, just for the #%&§ of it. Im actually trying to decide wether i like the way i played, but generally i think i really do. I got put into a lot of tough spots, and i did not manage to come out unharmed all the time, but still, i think thats ok. I played solid poker, my opponents did not, i vbet thinly and herofolded (this will be a topic over the weeks, due to a comment regarding my WTSD :-D).

So, lets brag with some hands:

MP: $193.05
CO: $30.00
BTN: $242.55
SB: $100.00
Hero (BB): $103.65

Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BB with J K
1 fold, MP raises to $4, CO calls $4, 1 fold, SB calls $3.50, Hero raises to $14, 2 folds, SB raises to $100, Hero calls $86

Final Pot: $208.00

OK, this hand might look a little weird. Im gonna put it this way: The opener was a fish, the caller was a big fish. I dont see any way in heaven or hell for him not to 3bet a strong hand here. Also, the caller is short, which means he would even wanna 3bet about any good Ahigh, most biggish PPs,....
So, my squz-% is pretty high, and i honestly (still) think im way ahead of his range here with a nutty king-high. Hes gonna do this with some crappy aces, some small PPs, some worse Khighs, maybe even some middling-hands like QJ,JT. Which means, i am never dominated (although he might show up with KQ occasionally), but i dominate some hands. Thats a call in my book. I snapped him off, actually.

This is like one of the tiltiest hands (/ lines) that come across. I dont think i can not vbet on any street there, and i also dont see what he could be bluffing with on the river. So did he own me? Hm yeah, in a sense, as i will bet many Ax this way, but way less draws than he expects me to.

So, this is kind of a level-hand. I had been 3betting the hand before in exactly that spot, vs exactly that player, he 4bet me, i think i folded. So while many would say, "oh great, AA, lets 3bet again", i actually think that im gonna get way more action by calling here. He should expect me to have a pretty strong hand to pull the same move again, whereas when i raise a flop, hes gonna be put into a different spot, and i guess with me being aggro hes gonna pay me off pretty light. Also, the limper could backraise, having enough of all this nonesense. I think you might argue that you can fold the river, yeah, i dont know, my head kind of exploded there, also he might be vbetting pretty thinly there, expecting me to be stubborn.
