Few 50nl hands from today

Hand #1
Not really sure how to play this one. FR table short handed, buy my UTG raise should still look pretty strong. V is a regular playing 18/10 overall but much more laggy on short tables (27/22 w/6 players or less). His squeeze seems like a bit of an overbet maybe not wanting a call? Shove or fold? Can't really call for set odds right?

Hand #3
I don't always 3bet JJ in this spot but did because V was 35/20/7 over about 50 hands. Trying to figure out a range that plays the hand this way that I can beat on the river (only a missed fl draw?) Getting like 4-1 on the river is it a call, and should I have bet the turn?

i don't understand why you didn't bet the turn in hand 3... it's an insta muck on the river...

hand 1: 4 bet to 28 and get it in if he shoves.
hand 2: just call river
hand 3: though by default id usually bet turn, not doing so isnt that bad imo, a small mistake at most. As if you bet the turn your effectively commited and the q isnt a great card for you. As played easy river fold.

I agree, but sometimes I just fold hand 1 pre to 3b squeeze

I really want to fold hand 1.

Hand 2 I just call river.

3betting JJ here pre is pretty standard actually. Bet turn, fold river as played.

I didn't used to think I played scared but lately I definitely am...I'm working on it though.
Hand 1 I weakly folded
Hand 2 was set of 6's, played strangely
Hand 3 I payed off cause I couldn't figure out what he had (not a good reason I know). My thought on the flop was a flush draw or a T. So I checked the queen hoping to keep him in the hand if he had a T but AT was one of the hands I thought he could have so that's why the questionable decision on the river. He did have AT0.

LMAO, my thoughts exactly. You leave a ton of money on the table by being a nit but I guess that can be good and bad at the same time.

Hand 2 smells like a thin value bet on the river from the villain after the call/call. He probably completed. I'd probably still pay him off though, call me crazy.
