In the same manner as my Pocket Rockets (NL 2 Zoom - 5 hands) thread. Reviewing key hands over the thousands showed some difficult spots. One from a pre-flop steal, three gave me a top pair with top kicker and the final hand is a little crazy.
Hand 1 (#9)
Assuming an average button range, is it acceptable to go all-in with AK as a 5-bet?

Hand 2 (#11)
I'm pretty sure this is a bad play as I'm beat by any Tx or 66 (possible from a limp), yet Villain turns over rubbish. I have a few other hands where AK got beat by sets which make me cautious with TPTK.
Is this an acceptable call? (Villains pre-flop range could also include at least AT+, 22+ )

Simple one here; check-raise the river? Villain will probably fold if I bet.

Hand 5 (#21)
This one could get a little tricky to read.
UTG raises, one call, I 3-bet, the button shoves their short stack, and calling the nine cents is the only option going to the flop.
I c-bet. Bad move? I think so...
