				 Three 50nl 6 max PP Hands
				
					
						Hand 1: Flopped a medium flush here in the BB, I lead out on the flop and turn, and on the river it's tricky. Any 8/4 makes a full house, but a J will likely call another bet. Should I check or bet? And if I bet - what amount?

 Hand 2: I had been raising in position with a lot of these marginal but solid hands and punishing limpers. Usually they would all fold, but on the occasions I got called a c-bet was enough to take down the pot. I got limp reraised minimum by this guy, which I figured to be AA or KK, and with great implied odds I took a flop. I flopped top pair Q kicker and he lead into me weakly, and I just smooth called. The turn gives me top two pair, and he leads again but it's almost a fourth of the pot which looks weak. What is the best way to play this turn? Smooth call again or raise? And if I raise, to how much and why?

 Hand 3: I had noticed the table was very solid and most raises were getting respect, so I made a loose raise with 68d on the button. The SB called and I flopped a gutshot, my c-bet was called and the turn gave me the nuts. He checks again. Should I check here to induce a river bet or fire again and hope he comes along for the ride? And what is the proper bet size?
