Hand #2

This hand really bothered me. I have a decent low start, so I'm assuming I don't want to push this because I want it to be a multi-way pot, if possible. Once it gets HU on 4th street, I have a low draw, as well as a straight draw. I think I should have been pushing him here. Will he ever fold here, seeing that he's probably competing for 1/2 the pot?

I really don't know what's right in this scenario.

Hand #3

Another weird hand, imo. I'm trying to disguise my nice starting hand, and it gets better on 4th street. I figured I'd let him to the betting until 5th/6th street, when the bets are bigger, and where I (hopefully) hit at least my low.

No, imo. The only thing you often end up doing here is isolating vs. a high hand, which you are a dog against.

I would against specific players, mostly those who play alot of razz hands. Aaand in these situations, where he's just brought in. Often I'll bet 4th in these situations, after the high hands are out. The ante's can picked up frequently.

Most players aren't folding here(4th, HU) and with 2 major cards for your high hand out, you are still drawing pretty light. Losing the 3rd 6 on 5th didn't help, but you then picked up the FD, which to me isn't enough to jam anyways. Jamming 4th especially is often a mistake in this situation, imo. Fine as played.

I'd raise 4th. You have a great draw and it will define his hand a bit more. Not raising 4th and then raising here is not good, imo. If you are both A high, he is ahead. If he has any pair, he is ahead. Don't start building the pot with the info that you now have, as he's rarely folding.

Player specific. Being KK doesn't really make it a bluff, but more a value bet. I think checking here by default is reasonable. Some players will check unimproved aces.
