Question: You play a high % of hands from big blind; 10s is a very strong hand and normally I would 3bet here almost 100% but recently have been trying to balance my big blidn calling range instead of just 3betting my premium hands out of the blinds especially heads up; is compelting here fine?
Additionally is block betting the river here fine to do or would it have been better to check and bluff catch here with 10s?
Hand 2

Hero wins with straight flush.
Question: Wasn’t sure on river sizing so went bigger, but knowing now he flopped 2 pair I feel I might of been able to go even bigger here? Was just wondering how people would of played this run out.

Hero All in 81BB (8.14M)
Villian Tank folds
Coverage shows Villian was out of line and had red 6s, though I have been tangling with chip leader as I felt I had an edge post flop on her and she might have thought here I was acutally being out of line.
Question: I knew I wanted to check raise but after she clicks me back or just over a click I didn’t know what to do; but I felt if my opponent had Jacks I would of got shoved on pre and middling pairs that have flopped a set would want to keep my bluffs in; I felt with ICM a shove is good but I dont understand ICM enough to say what is good or not here, let me know what you would of done.

Hand One:
Q1
Without a specific read on the CO I would normally 3 bet ~8bb here. Your in-game reads have to take priority over GTO approved.
Q2
You can go either way on the river. If I feel this opponent can bluff at this I would bluff catch.
Hand Two:
We are very deep here. I would open a to 2.5BB (15,000)
After a big blind check on the flop I like a bigger bet here. I would go 20,000-25000. I don’t want to get check-raised off of my equity. We are not as likely to face a check-raise with a bigger Cbet. We don’t mind a fold from random Jacks and sixes. Sets, Kings, and flush draws are not folding. If I faced a check-raise I would call and see a turn.
Too many outs to fold this turn. We improved from a gut shot to an OESD to go with our FD.
Q1
I would have played the river the same. I thought your bet size on the river was perfect.
Hand Three:
Q1
This is tough. Need to consider the range you would call vs the range you would jam. I always hear Jim’s voice telling me by shoving you allow your opponent to play perfectly.
