    Default my in-laws are watching Billy Elliot, I can play poker again

    I'm a bit rusty after a few weeks off over christmas so any comments on any street are appreciated.

    HAND 1 - My first orbit at the table. I was trying to pick up the dead money PF really but I'm not sure about my turn line. Maybe bet $7-8 instead or C/R AI?

    UTG ($31.65)
    MP ($27.85)
    Button ($27.30)
    Hero ($24.75)
    BB ($55.50)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, A.
    1 fold, MP calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, Hero raises to $2, BB calls $1.75, MP folds, Button folds.

    Flop: ($4.50) 9, T, K (2 players)
    Hero bets $3, BB calls $3.

    Turn: ($10.50) 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $5, BB raises to $20.75, Hero calls $14.75 (All-In).

    River: ($51) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $51

    Button ($25.35)
    SB ($33.10)
    BB ($21.10)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, T.
    Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, SB calls $0.90, 1 fold.

    HAND 3 - Villain is 30/17/1.8 over 500+ hands and seems to play straightforward OOP so I gave this a shot

    BB ($48.05)

    Turn: ($2.85) 6 (2 players)

    River: ($6.85) T (2 players)
    MP checks, Hero bets $5

    1) fine,EDIT: but sometimes I might fold this turn b/c I know nothing about my opponent
    2) fine
    3) anything that calls you beats you...probably 99-KK here, check behind normally.
