Some hands from 25NL that need evaluation

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.

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?

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.

i agree with Deanglow. Your bets are also habitually small. Be a man :p

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.
