JL will become famous soon enough
 Hand 1: Any pocket pair > 55's and any ace calls down here a lot of the time.

hand 2: fine

Hand 3: I dont like the raise because at this limit villain is going to call down with any King and any Heart. No one ever believes you flopped a flush.
I know his bet is so weak, but I probably fold here; I might call and try to bluff the turn.

hand 1: i like it. if you lose, oh well. i think you win here more often.

hand 2: i like the fold. i give credit to button for a str8, or a str8 and flush draw (AJs), given no reads and no prior noise from him.

hand 3: small lead suggests flush or nut draw. RR confirms. call flop/bluff turn...meh. like a fold better here to his small lead.

just my .02
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
