Please let me know if I played these hands ok. These all came in a span of 30 minutes and felt I was being pushed around a little.

Hand 1) Villian was running 11/11/2. His bet sizing was perfect on this hand I thought and played me like a fiddle.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($26.15)
Button ($4.65)
SB ($5.60)
BB ($15.80)
UTG ($25)
UTG+1 ($24.55)
MP1 ($4.30)
MP2 ($5.15)
MP3 ($17.35)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A.
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.75, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.75, 1 fold, Hero raises to $3, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $2.25, MP2 folds.

Flop: ($7.10) 9, K, J (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $4, Hero calls $4.

Turn: ($15.10) J (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $8, Hero calls $8.

River: ($31.10) A (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $9.55 (All-In), Hero calls $9.55.

Final Pot: $50.20
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 2) Villian was running 16/7/2. Did I make the right read here and would you play it any differently?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($50.25)
SB ($26.45)
BB ($13.60)
UTG ($24.75)
Hero ($23.50)
MP2 ($22.85)
CO ($9.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, K.
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.75, 3 folds, SB calls $0.65, 1 fold.

Flop: ($1.75) 7, A, 4 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.25, SB calls $1.25.

Turn: ($4.25) 8 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2.75, SB raises to $7.5, Hero calls $4.75.

River: ($19.25) 5 (2 players)
SB bets $16.95 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $19.25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 3) Villian was 13/13/2. Villian played this like a made set on the flop or maybe he had J10 hearts. Anyone raising the turn here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($24.75)
MP2 ($25)
MP3 ($20.70)
CO ($34.10)
Button ($33.30)
SB ($24.05)
BB ($38.20)
UTG ($21)
UTG+1 ($22.15)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K, K.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.25, 5 folds, BB calls $1, UTG calls $1.

Flop: ($3.85) 8, 9, 4 (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $2, BB calls $2, UTG folds.

Turn: ($7.85) 4 (2 players)
BB bets $4, Hero calls $4.

River: ($15.85) Q (2 players)
BB bets $11, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $15.85

 Hand 1 I would raise the flop and try get it in soon. A lot of draws are in his range and a lot of turn cards are bad for you.
Hand 2 fold the turn.
Hand 3 is an easy call. This line looks FOS and I would also call the turn to let him continue. Not many worse hands call a raise, but plenty bet the river.

 Basically agree with dean
1. Get it in ASAP, esp. with that turn.
2. Fold turn, esp if you are folding most rivers
3. Call as played but I bet flop more.

I'll give it a shot:

Hand 1 I'd probably raise the flop or turn, but either way, I'd probably get it in. Looks like a cooler though, what'd he show up with? AA/KK?

Hand 2 fold or shove turn imo. Pretty sure if I call the turn, it'd be b/c I thought I was good & therefore I'd be calling the river.

Hand 3 calling the turn is ok. Folding the river seems bad, I know I'd at least call.

I agree with the other guys about hand 2 & 3.

Hand one, this guy is running 11/11, what's his range for calling a 3bet and donking into us on this scary flop? What draws are in his range when we hold the Ah? Pretty obvious we're fucked by the river, i think he has 99 here alot but I don't know how I'd play it in the heat of the moment.

Ya hand two looks like villain is showing a lot of strength. I hate that lead flop c/r turn line when its used against me! It works though because like you most people wont fold the turn. Smells like a set to me.

sounds like we all agree that call flop, c/r turn is a line that beats any one pair hand almost every time?

and, i think we all know that hand three was a blocking bet on turn for JT, which stupidly got there on river.
