God you are tight! First hand is clearly a min-4-bet with your mouse hovering in anticipation of a Hellmuth insta-call of his push.
The second you should have trash talked your opponent into raising so you could bluff push him off his hand with a 3bet.
The third hand is clearly a float flop, float turn and jam any river for value
haha :)
Well played. The 98 off is a negative ev spot against an average three-betting range at that level.
72 off is certainly at the lower end of the range of playable hands, so getting a fold from the small blind should be a good result.
74s is a two-gap suited connector so a raise is fine. The flop brought a straightflushdraw, unfortunately both backdoor, in addition with 2 dangerous overcards to your high card. His bet could mean anything, but given his calling range from the big blind and you ev against that range on that flop plus a possible bluff equity on later streets, finding a fold there is fine.

The first two are standard coolers, not much you can do about them I think.
The third is debatable. Sometimes I'd shove here with the 7-high and powerful backdoor flush/pair draws, 8-high and 9-high would often fold in my opinion. Other times I'd just smoothcall and look to get it in on the turn. I suppose folding is not too bad a choice for a beginner.

I'm convinced TillerMaN hates everybody who reads his blog :)

Tiller you are a cool guy and all but we prefer hearing about your really sick hand analysis like you showed us in the past. But if u dont have any to share thats coo.
Your hand analysis about certain situations is art and I wish to be at your level somewhere down the near future.
