Positive Mistakes
Made some errors getting max value out of my hands.
Straight fail. - Hate my bet sizing OOP. Should have an OOP betting progression of 3x -> 12x -> 36x. Then when he flats I can jam my remaining 64bb into the 72bb pot and get a call. Instead I panic and bet by the IP progression (3x -> 12x -> 24x). Then I Cbet the only type of flop I'm afraid of!! Villain was 26/22/4, and must have been 3betting light?
Aces again. Need to lead this flop, even sandwiched between two people. Got trappy and it could have cost me a nice pot. Don't mind the check on the flop as a "<10% of the time" play, but I need to bet this river for value 100% of the time, when check flop and bet turn.
If I just flat call this turn, I probably stack this guy. doh.
still ran at 90bb/100, but I wasn't thinking in hands 2 or 3. Guess it was time to quit, even after a mere 250 hands....

1) we discussed
2) usually my standard is to raise 5x here as he's a limper, but i guess we can make the case that we can make it less to entice a call and we need to put less in the pot given his stack. just know the tendencies of the other guys yet to act as you might have to play multiway.
if you're going to check the flop, you'd best have a reason to do so. mixing your play up is fine, but you need to do it with reason.
as played bet turn and river. there's no reason to check river at all just bet it.
3) pf and flop are standard. don't just give the "if....." scenario of what might have happened. highlight your mistake. "when i shove the turn, i'm folding out most of the range which i'm ahead of and all of his better hands are calling me". and get specific too. what hands are calling here your shove? more importantly, what are your heads on hands that he's c/c'ing flop with and then leading turn, and therefore, what is the best action against that range? what are you doing in different river scenarios?
