    Default critique these 3 hands with same villain

    Villain very loose. I am not trying to make a bad beat post out of it but want to make sure I played them right. Just want to make sure i am not overlooking something.

    Question 1: I have started playing suited junk from the button with a limp. I dont play it even if its raised 2x BB. Only limp in an unraised pot if 3-4 people limp in and only from the button. Should I stop doing that. I dont chase flushes in these occasions, i am just looking to flop 2 pair or trips and trying to bust slowplayed overpair?

    Hand 1: Hero has 500 behind, Villian has 350
    Hero has 7c-7s in the MP3
    Preflop: 5 limpers to the pot, BB makes it 15, everyone calls
    Flop (75$): Ks-9s-7h
    Check to Hero, Hero bets 120, Villain calls.

    Turn (315$): Ks-9s-7h-4s
    Villain goes all in for 220.....hero ??

    Question 2: Should Hero call the turn bet ? Say from the reads its obvious Villain has the flush, should I still call try to fill up ? I dont have the odds, but I just cant lay this shit down.

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

    Hand 2: Same villain, villain now has 1 grand, Hero has 350$
    Hero has 9c-3c on the button.
    Preflop: 6 people limp, hero limps. villain is MP1

    Flop (35$): 9d-6s-3d
    Villain bets 50, Hero raises 200, Villain goes all in for 150 more, Hero calls.

    Question 3: Was this street badly played ? I put villain exactly on a flush draw, should I go for broke here ? There is some chance he might have had a set, but should I have lay down my 2 pair to the 50$ sized bet on the flop? He is the player who would slowplay set even on a flush draw board so most likely he has a flush draw. 200$ raise may have been too much because there are still 2-3 players waiting to act between me and the villain on the flop.

    Hand 1. I think it depends if you've seen villain play TP or 2P this way. Or whether you have seen him bluff this way before.

    Hand 2. This flop is exactly what you're looking for. So going all-in is probably fine.

    If you're not going to chase a flush, why not call any 2 on the button? The odds of you flopping 2pair or better AND somebody slowplaying an overpair is very bad. So if that is the reason you are calling you should fold.

    Say from the reads its obvious Villain has the flush, should I still call try to fill up ?
    You answered your own question after that. Why would you ever take a -ev gamble on purpose?

    The hand is played fine.

    I still have a helluva time at live games, laughing my a-ss off openly at the table- only I feel a lot better and laugh a lot harder when I'm filling my pockets at the end of the night
