my 2 chips - hope it helps.
hand 1 (TT)
first off - the other guy should not have been playing those cards in a raised pot, but that's loose/maniac hold em. i have mixed feelings on this hand: on the one hand, your set is very vulnerable with the possible made str and flush draw. on the other hand, you do have 7 outs for a hand that will beat a str or flush. preflop, i think was fine. TT is a hard one to be too aggressive with pre flop. with the possibility of a made str on the flop, i would have probably checked. after seeing the flop, i think i'd hold back and see who was betting and how much, and mentally preparing my self to dump the set. tough hand.
hand 2 (AQo)
it might be overly conservative, but i would really want to protect my 3500 stack, so, i would not call an $800 ($400 - maybe) all in preflop with AQo, especially with 2 others in the hand. you're also calling an all-in without anything other than an overcard draw - not something you should be doing when you're the big stack (if short stacked and getting eaten by the blinds, that's different).
hand 3 (AcKc)
yes, the guy should not have been calling anything with 24o, but why are you betting 500 (a 3rd of your stack) on a flush draw when the blinds are 60? betting the draw is alright, but something more like 150. and why are you calling the all-in on the turn rather than folding? with the two 4's on the board, i'd put him on at least trips (if not a boat), so even if you make your flush on the river, if he's hit the boat, you're dead.
