50NL - Multiple Bigslickities

Hand 1:

Villain is Tsigmond and is playing 29/22 over a small sample. He has minop'd every pot and has not folded to a 3B.

I c-bet the flop b/c I think I can credibly rep a pretty strong range, though I don't really expect him to fold right away with 77/JJ. When he donks turn I'm done with the hand.

Hand 2:

basically both players are fish who limp/call from everywhere. UTG is running 23/5 and UTG + 1 is running 39/0 both over like 60 hands.

Wondering if this is a good spot to c-bet. There are a lot of SP's/Q's in their ranges which they likely aren't folding (at least right away) so wondering if betting was a mistake. I basically put myself in a crap spot b/c I'm pretty sure I have to c/f the turn vs a half stack.

Hand 3:

UTG is running 16/11 over 400, and opening 12% from EP. BB seems a bit loosish and is running 16/9 over 400.

I tend to mix in 3B'ing and flatting UTG opens with AK, this time I chose to just flat, but vs this guy I think 3B'ing may be better since he is opening more than usual from EP and I can likely safely fold to a 4B.

When BB c/r's I'm pretty sure I'm almost always toast here so I folded.

I wouldn't consider any streets in these "bad"

Hand 2 is the only one I wouldn't bet on the flop. It seems to be a poor plan to set up a multi-street bluff against fishy opponents, one with a 1/2 stack. Take your free card and spike that A.

I think you can check behind flop in 2nd one sometimes
