Golden Riviera

Ok a little batch of hand histories today. Hands are in order and I've thrown in reads as I had them. I've changed the stacks to US$50 on each occasion to avoid clues but do them one at a time anyway. Below are the six biggest hands of the night - winners and losers.

Ok I won this one. Could I have played it better? I'm trying to represent an AK and hope he will try and take it away with a big bet on the river. Would a check behind and then milking bet on the river be better?

Mr Broker has the straight in the first hand- lay down.
2nd hand - does he have A4? Also lay down.
3rd hand - flat call - and take a long time to do it I reckon :-) then milk the river.
4th Hand - $5 - looks like a random speculative punt and should get a call.
5th hand - almost certainly he has a Queen (could be a set, but why not raise pre-flop) - I call, but I like to gamble!
6th hand - could have the spade flush, but could be tilting with AQ or possibly QJ for 2 pair. Based on your hint I call for the fun of it!

#1 You could well be right. Its an easy fold on river. I think I probably should have folded to the turn bet before then. He does play the player rather than cards he holds though it seems.
#2 I folded there. This my worse hand of the night. He's folded a lot of people off hands. I was looking to make a stand against him but this was a bad choice in timing.

So down $40 at this point.

#3 With the previous history I'd tried to raise him off a hand. I though he would see a call as more suspicious. If I had AK I would have put in a bet to see if it was good despite the flush hitting. Maybe he didnt have a strong hand at all and there wasn't much I could do to get him to put much more in. A Call would have a better chance of getting some money I guess but my line might have worked if he had two pair.
#4 I'll post on Sklansky's bet size advice later. I try and work out what he has and bet accordingly. If he has nothing he is folding. If he has an overpair he won't call much 3 or 4 maybe. If he has trips he will be hard pressed to find a fold but your bet size is better. If he has a flush he may just about get away from an all in but will have to call a big bet as of course I could have trips or a flush or be bluffing as well. I bet $8 and get a call.
#5 I think I have to make a decision here if I'm going to the felt. Could be just the queen, two pair or flush draw. The bet looks like he wants me to fold. I push and he folds after thinking so I'd say AQ.
#6 Another tough one. I do think he is tilting and call. He shows A4o for a complete bluff. I avoid an Ace and stack him.
+U$28 for the night. A good comeback after a bad start.
