Hand #1

Villain is running 64/18 over a small sample. I doubt he was any good and after the min raise i considered shoving but felt the only way i'd even have a chance of winning was with a spade and even then i wasn't sure. I'm always behind here right?

Hand #2 This guy was running 50/20 over a small sample but at the time i didn't realize his stats were that loose. couple of hands before i went to show down against him with tpmk against his boat with betting patterns and timing fr0m him that seemed bluffy. His betting was similar in this hand to that one which is why i think he could be strong?
(i checked the flop cause at the time i thought he was tight and thought that would be the best way to get a least 1 bet out of him.)

Hand #3 I didn't really like my line here and felt maybe i gave to much respect to the spades. Is there a better line to take?
BB was running 28/13 and I hadn't seen him get out of line seemed semi solid.
BU no reads but short stacker i didn't think he had any game pretty sure he was fishy.

1) Fine
2) Bet flop, someone running loose will have a lot of worse Qs here, you can always check the turn if you want pot control.
3) WTF? Bet flop, spades are unlikely and if he does have them (which won't happen often at all) you can suck out. As played maybe I make a small river raise and instamuck to a 3bet.

hand 1 - b/f is good here, and I might c/c here sometimes too

hand 2- why the slowplay? Bet flop. As played, I dont mind check/call on the river, depending on how aggressive he is. check/fold is fine against nits

hand 3 - ummm.. you realize you have tptk nut FD right.. on the flop? fill it uppp, raise. Raise turn. Raise somewhere.
