Running Awesome

This is what happens when you have good table selection:

3 handed PL with an absolutely terrible BB. I limp with 55 on the button (4.6k behind), SB completes (700 behind) BB checks (2k behind). Flop is Jh Th 5s. SB minbets 20$, BB makes it 70$, I pot to 289$, SB folds, BB repots to 538$, I repot to 1614$, BB goes all in for the remaining 77$. He flips over 2h 6h. No hearts come.

At another table, BB has been giving lots of action, is very easy to read and puts too many chips into the centre with one-pair type hands. I limp Jh Th UTG. Button limps, SB folds, BB raises to 80$. All players cover me and I have 2k. I call, button calls. Flop Js Tc 2c. BB leads for 300$, I raise to 1000$. Button folds BB thinks for about 5 seconds then calls. His OOP preflop raise and flop bet mean he should have an overpair. I don't think he calls with AK; if he has JJ I'm toast. Turn is 8s. BB checks and I shove my remaining 952$ into the center BB calls with QQ and does not counterfeit me on the river.

On yet another table, BB has been totally run over by another player and is visibly upset. I raise Ac Tc UTG+1 and all fold to the BB who calls. I have 2.2k; he covers. Flop comes Qh 8c 2c and BB checks. I bet 90 he calls. Turn is the 4c and he quickly bets 250, I promptly make it 600. I don't actually think he has a hand, but am hoping to get reraised. I believe I am actually representing something like a pair with the Ac. He calls. River is the 8h and he moves all in. I call. 99 no good.

This is what happens when you are skilled at hitting two outters in pots you've managed to 3-bet out of position.

Folded to me in the SB and I raise with jacks to 70. I have 3k and BB covers -- he calls. Flop Ah 2h 9c. I lead 120$ and sb minraises. SB has been floating and moving on me a lot so I decide to test my theory and make it 500$. What I hate about this play is that when I'm wrong I'm drawing to two outs and I've made the pot disgustingly large while out of position. I really need BB to fold a lot here for this to be a good play. He doesn't. SB calls and I know the worst he can have here is Kh 9h, but more likely its A9, 99, 22 or AA. I think he calls with all those ranges of hands; A9 he probably pushes. Turn is Jd. I lead 1000 and BB instantly pushes; I likewise instantly call. JJ > 22.
