Hand 1 He has laggy stats at 29/22/4.5. No real reads on villain, just know that he 3 bets light, and he seems to be pretty decent. Seen him showdown 34s (according to my note on him, cant remmeber the hand though) in a 3 bet pot.
You dig the turn bet, or do we take a free card here.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (4 handed) Ultimate-Bet Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($88.35)
SB ($53.20)
BB ($96.05)
UTG ($25.05)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, Q.
1 fold, Hero raises to $1.75, SB raises to $5.5, 1 fold, Hero calls $4.

Flop: ($11.75) T, 8, K (2 players)
SB bets $7, Hero calls $7.

Turn: ($25.75) 3 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $20



Hand 2 : Same vill is previous hand. Thoughts? I went into this hand without any real plan..for a flopped top pair. What is your plan here..

Turn: ($25.75) 3 (2 players)

Hand 3 : I have absolutely no knowledge of howthis guy plays..no stats/reads e.t.c. This a standard fold against an unknown?

1) 4bet pre and call a push obv. As played, I c/behind the turn for free card as we have some equity, but we dont wanna get c/r off the hand
2) Fold turn, unless you think he's bluffy enough to fire multiple barrels w/air, I'd rather raise flop if you wanna raise
3) Good fold imo

I don't table select. I know it may sound silly, but i really want to get used to all types of opponents, and learn how to adjust no matter his style/skill. I think it's important to first improve your game all round..before moving up to the uber stakes, then getting absolutely owned there.

Are these hands totally standard or something. ? Not much activity..

 I try to make the most money possible in the shortest amount of time.

Generally that means not sitting with competent aggressive players on my left.

I get your thinking about table selection and various opps, but at the end of the day I'd prefer to make lots of money before worrying about difficult table conditions.

Think of it this way:

Have a 10ptbb/100 winrate and get to $10k before playing hard opps.

Have a 5ptbb/100 winrate and take twice as long to get to $10k while playing hard opps.

Looked at that way, it seems fairly obvious.
Just playing to improve.

 Just keep them fish on your right and isolate the crap out of them.
