pre shove all day/night
+1 pre 3bet/AI and cbet with a set on a flop if you not in allin pre.
I think You played the hand fine. Preflop, your non push is good. Your 5 bet accomplished building a nice sidepot with the fish, whereas a push might have caused him to fold. In answer to your question, you played the hand absolutely fine on all streets. Villain was a fish preflop by smoothing your 3bet, then smoothing your 5bet,LOL. When you made the turn bet, at least he was getting odds to call.
Hey Jax!
I'm curious if you would have time for a student around October/November. I was about to write a PM to you on your profile page, but it seems like I don't have enough posts on this site to be able to do that. Is there any way I could contact you for further discussion?
Have a nice day!

Okay, so I have been coaching full time for well over a year an really love helping aspiring players turn into winning players. I would like to review hands or answer any questions on my approach to single table turbos and hypers. So fire away of you like.
Hey Jaxtraw!
I'd like to ask, what do you think the following situation:
Ongame 5max games, you know these games has crazy blind structure:
On early blind levels, when we raised with AK,AQ,AJ and the board didn't hitted us, or with TT,JJ and there is one higher card then us. Is it worth to cbet? My experience has shown that I get a lot of call on the flop, and I have to give up on the next streets, and finally I have to fold my hand.
And how would you play the HU part of these games, if we have more than 15 big blind, like 20-25.
