I'm kind of proud of these hands. The tables are really loose, hence the somewhat odd calling strategy pre-flop. I think in each case, I played marginal hands very well. I'd welcome any advice, though:

Hand 1 (I like my relentless value-betting here):

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Silverfist is CO with T, T.
5 folds, MP3 calls, Silverfist raises, 1 fold, SB calls, BB calls $0.15 (All-In), MP3 calls.

Flop: (7.60 SB) J, 7, 5 (4 players, 1 all-in)
SB checks, MP3 checks, Silverfist bets, SB calls, MP3 calls.

Turn: (5.30 BB) 8 (4 players, 1 all-in)
SB checks, MP3 checks, Silverfist bets, SB folds, MP3 calls.

River: (7.30 BB) 8 (3 players, 1 all-in)
MP3 checks, Silverfist bets, MP3 folds.

Final Pot: 8.30 BB

Hand 2 (I like my flop raise here with two big overs and a backdoor flush):

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Silverfist is BB with A, K. CO posts a blind of $0.25.
2 folds, UTG+2 calls, 2 folds, MP3 calls, CO (poster) checks, 1 fold, SB raises, Silverfist 3-bets, UTG+2 calls, MP3 folds, CO folds, SB caps, Silverfist calls, UTG+2 calls.

Flop: (14 SB) 4, Q, 7 (3 players)
SB bets, Silverfist raises, UTG+2 folds, SB calls.

Turn: (9 BB) 2 (2 players)
SB checks, Silverfist checks.

River: (9 BB) 9 (2 players)
SB bets, Silverfist calls.

Final Pot: 11 BB

Hand 3 (I really like my turn raise here):

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Silverfist is BB with 9, Q.
6 folds, SB completes, Silverfist checks.

Flop: (2 SB) 8, 4, 2 (2 players)
SB bets, Silverfist raises, SB 3-bets, Silverfist calls.

Turn: (4 BB) Q (2 players)
SB bets, Silverfist raises, SB calls.

River: (8 BB) 3 (2 players)
SB checks, Silverfist bets, SB folds.

Final Pot: 9 BB

Hand 1: I like since you've been shown no good reason to slow down

Hand 2: Flop raise for free river is good, not too sure about the call down given SB's pf cap

Hand 3: Like the free card play much?

I like the majority of your play in these hands. I think I fold the river in hand 2 usually, but that is pretty villian-dependent and calling could easily be correct.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. That call was the most dubious one, I admit, but I only had to be right 9% of the time for it to be a good call, so meh. He only checked the turn, so he didn't seem that strong. I thought there was a good chance of splitting the pot if he had AK as well.

In retrospect, I probably should have capped that Q9s hand on the flop. I probably had at least 12 outs, plus the 9s were probably outs as well, making me virtually a favourite. Plus, hey, free card .
