For the first Hand I believe you played it properly And just put in another pot sized raised on river at these levels people call you down with MUCH worse your hand has good value hoping he didnt hit some wack 2 pair.

2. Easy Fold you cares what he has you play that hand 100 times over u did the right thing easy fold who cares what he has no need to continue...pick your spots

3. Same thing just throw it away again with the if u played it 100 times its very +EV and safe

JKDS is on a distinguished road
 hand 1, alot of his range just hit this river. flush draws completed, some straight draws, two pairs, and some pairs. Depending on your reads, some smaller overpairs might also be in his range as well as hands like A9. If these are never a possibility, then its likely a c/c...probably a c/f given his aggression factor and stationness. If those hands are there though, then i dont have a problem with a river value bet. (Assuming we are now ahead of that range, im pretty sure we are but didnt actually stove it). Since hes likely to call down with his entire range, there shoulnt be a problem here if those hands are in it.

edit: bet sizing is fine too.

hand 2

i check the flop here. the station isnt likely to bet, and we have a lot of equity but cant stand too much action. He isnt likely to bluff, but i cant see him calling with worse too often (aside from the Adx). As played, b/(b+p) = about 25%, and i think we have enough equity to continue. When we are up against a king through set, we have the flush equity, and when we're up against an Ad we have the pair. AdKx would be gross...but i think a call is ok here. I'll be trying to check it down throughout the rest of the hand.

hand 3:
whats utg's mr range? he only raises 2.5% of hands, so QQ+, AK...but is he raising wider when he minraises?

case A: no he isnt
easy fold.
case b: yes he is
gah...then the 3b is good, i think its still an easy fold on the flop though
