Obviously I was lucky to outflop the guy on hand #3, but do you think it was the correct play?

I like it.. normally I think 67o is a raising hand HU, allows you to buy a pot later, but it turned out nicely.

I think given the player you were suddenly faced with, you were spot on. Really lucky in the third hand though.

pretty easy call, id figure its two live cards v.s my AT. your game against the majority of hands (A9-A2, Kx, Qx etc.., 99-22). so if you wanna risk it on an edge (like 58/42) call.

At these blind levels I never raise.
It limits the information they are getting, and its cheap enough to get away with while constantly pressuring them never letting them have a free blind.
If they dont reraise + for me, if they reraise thats fine, I can reraise them if I have a monster, or call, or whatever set them up thinking I'm a loose donk, and my favourite, they start overraising to protect their blinds.
