had a series of weird hands this evening... all the same orbit, same table (not necessarily in the order posted )

villain here is a drooler, and I decided I'm not folding an overpair - hence my turn betsize.

Hand 2)
Villain here is super-aggro and 35-20ish and donkish post-flop. I hate my line, I was planning to check shove this guy, but the fact that he's re-raising got me all confused with the straight in his range. Anyway, I ended up in a stupid situation where I block bet the river and i guess this is an easy call as played - even when the board is one to a straight.

hand 3) the 3-bet size was cos the player to my left hadn't folded preflop yet, and was into his second orbit at the table. I figured he was calling, and if i bet too low I was going to be seeing a flop multi-way, deep and oop. The second cold caller is interesting = nit pre-flop but kinda stupid post. He's almost always got TT+ here.
Anyway, I held my breath and called, knowing that he's playing JJ/QQ/KK/AA the same here = I'm ahead of most of his range. Doesn't mean I like it that much. Thoughts?

1) This is almost never a bluff on the turn. Easy fold.
2) Flush is the most possible hand.
3) AdQd? I'm calling this hand.

Your betting looks pretty standard throughout tbh

[MuddyWicket]

I cant fold any of them even if I whine like a pig after hand one thinking I misplayed it if I lose but hand two just messes with my head, I have no idea what the crap is going on there. The 4$ bet and the crap reraise wtf???? Surely he is betting straights on the turn and not giving you any credit for a flush draw or a flush draw so I end up putting him on some crap like 88 or A9/K9. if he had a real hand like a straight then he is an idiot. I'm going to stop staring at it cos it hurts.

[Deanglow]

1. fold the turn
2. lead the turn
3. easy call

[badgers]

hand one if he's a bad I'm making every effort to get my stack in here. bet turn harder to shove river. As played it depends how terrible he is and whether he's passive, it's usually a fold.

2 def lead turn it's easy to get the stacks in no need to c/r.

3 call.

[daven]

hands 1 and 3 villain had kk
hand 2 - you guys are right - lead the turn. Villain had JQo...
