couple 100 NL hands

UTG was taggy, LP caller was 28/17.
I have been a bit of a spew monkey, making bad calls where it's obvious I'm beat.

I really don't like my flop play here, but I am unsure of what else to do.

opp is running at 10/7. hasn't done much of late. I have been fairly straightforward since he sat down (not because of him, just most of my bad plays at this table occurred before he joined)

I felt kind of lost on this last hand. I put opp on a big PP, or a big suited A.

Hand 1: what do you mean he is taggy? for a big nit this is clear set/trip line. However, for an average tag, this can be: 99+
I like the flop raise (let's see where you are on the hand). Turn: I might consider folding (if we call and MP2 pushes what do we do? Are we ready to stack off to trips or full-house or eventually KK?)

Hand 2: I would raise flop. As played, I would push turn. As we did not raise flop, we do not know where we are ... is villain on a flush draw, does he have AQ/KQ or does he has a set?

#1 Flop raise is fine but a bit small. With MP smooth calling and UTG 4betting this 3way pot you´re probably dead. HU against UTg shove al day.

#2 meh, 3bet was kinda small. Given your flop play u can´t muck your hand. Your hand is underrepped and villian will play this line with AQ/AKs and QQ, maybe JJ given your weakness. I crai turn as played, but lead flop next time.

hand 1 I folded. What would you suggest as a good flop raise size? I have been blowing a lot of worse hands out lately and am consciously trying not to.

The weird part about hand 1 was the turn play. UTG check-folded, claimed he had 44 and that the only hand that MP could have is 55 for quads.

Hand 2 I CRed the turn AI, and he folded. I have no idea what hand does that here. What size 3bet are you making here pf?
