Would you have played any of these hands differently? (also sizing)

-Villain is 3betting 20% and not folding to 3bets (and probably 4bets). He's kind of short, KK** strong enough right?

-Villain is a reg 3betting about 9% and I guess this time it might have been a too optimistic resqueeze. I don't think that he can play A***ds profitably vs my 4bets, but as he's calling, my 4bet kind of gets worse with KK** there. (No need to be balanced versus this reg)

A bit unlucky and horribly played by him. Does it really matter what I Cbet (sizing)??? I'm probably never folding unless versus someone I've never seen bluffing on 2k hands.

Hand 1 is ok I guess, likely better than folding to his 3-bet, but you actually won't do very well here I wouldn't expect. It's hard to do a good sim, but the rough stuff I have done suggests you may find yourself losing around $0.50 on this play (assuming 1/6 of the time you get it in versus AA and the other 5/6, you play a flop where he stacks off on the 60% of flops where he has enough equity to do so). Given your hand is kinda gross to flat with, I suppose you played this well but I think you'll find this is close to break-even. Then again, villain will almost certainly play far less than perfectly which will help (for example, a lot of K-high flops may see him stack off any pair thinking you hold AA). So yeah, hand 1 is fine. Not a fist-pump, but fine.
Too busy now to look at the other two, but when I'm free later I'll see what they look like if someone else hasn't already.
H2: you could just call OOP pre unless you planned to jam no matter what flop is, cause on AT4 you have gutter + bdfd + hope that King hits board... Not ideal, not so bad, but I wouldn't see me as winner in similar spots great majority of times...
H3: pre was okay, but that flop 965sss was awful.... we have like 98 "blockers" for str8/top set, but what about flush? I would check back flop as mandatory, c/f turn and c/f river...
Kind of "nitty", but when he bets I don't expect him to bluff or to be weaker than me, so - I would save my money here and fold to his bet on any further street....
Can't be giving up 4bet pots just like that. My question is more what sizing proved best to get worse hands in. (Besides, this board is equally or even less scary than 89T when I don't hit with my sidecards obv) - No way I'm folding to people who stab so often when you show weakness in 3b/4b pots!
I mean, what would you do versus a 1/3 pot bet? You can't be check-folding as a gameplan on this board texture.
I understand you.
Well, with 9T you can improve to FH on 89T same suit flop, so your side cards from H3 in example you mentioned are better, not worse.
Furthermore, he checks flop and you decide to bet.
You don't get called if he missed flop when u bet + you can improve to str8 on next street(s) if he doesn't have flush so checking back works for you also as you get free card on turn.
When he bets 1/3 pot here I would start thinking what might he have and why does he chose that bet size... It would be hard decision to be honest.
Problem here is that he put in pot pre $9,20 OOP which is >33% of his stack, so when he puts $6,5 into $19,5 flop having behind $9,86 after flop bet and knowing we were pre flop aggressor - he is pretty commited which is very indicative....
He was calling your 4-bet pre either with (single/double suited) kings OR with (single/double suited) low/medium/high rundown... What are his "side cards"? Did he call our pre 4-bet with hand like QQ66(ss)?
You might know better vs which kind of player you are playing against and what is he capable for.
Just because 3 spades hit flop I would be very concerned plus I don't have single spade or at least some really strong blockers for this kind of coordinated board that could justify my flop bet/opponent's flop bet call.
These were my thoughts.
Hand1: probably do all same...
Hand2: shitty spot, but I probably x/f. I know its weak with SPR like this, but opponents on lower stakes practically never fold A*** preflop though they should.
Hand3: x/f for me again, its weak and exploitable but cant see myself bet/calling these board.
Hand 1). NH
2) Vs a 9% 3b range, with your hand's card removal, you run into AAxx here 40% of the time. Given that your opening MP and have a caller inbetween, his range will likely be even stronger than his overall 3b stat. So, a 4b seems fairly poor in this spot.
However, your 48% vs a 9% 3b range overall, and your hand is connected enough to where you'll be able to get it in with good equity on a fair number of flops. So I'd most likely call the 3b and go from there.
3). Obviously fine preflop. Flop with spr of 1 I think just shoving is the play. Your never bet/folding this hand so your incentivizes to just max your FE vs his hands w equity vs you.
Hand 1 is totally fine imo. You just got unlucky.
Hand 2, pretty clear fold preflop imo. Not sure what you'd be hoping for by calling, and 4b is very optimistic.
Hand 3, preflop fine and with pair+gutter+overpair I'd just shove the flop. You may not have a lot of FE against made hands, but it's quite possible that he doesn't have anything to call with.
Seeing your opponents hands, I would be making some player notes if I were you...
