Three 50nl 6 max PP Hands

[aislephive]

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?

bet or raise about the size of the pot in all of them

I'm OK checking behind in hand 1, I don't think a J calls again. But, I don't think the FH checks either, so a bet doesn't hurt much, so I guess you should bet.

you're vunerable in hand 2, bet

hand 3 if he can fold an two pair or set on that board... well, I just don't think he can. If he has an over pair he may fold, but I think you're more likely to get money now than on river.

I think I check behind in hand 1. He's either slow playing or drawing, so you are either toasted or not getting a call. I don't see a J calling down unless he has :As: or :Ks:

Hand 2... I would probably raise the flop. If he has an over pair you are drawing to 5 outs. If HE'S drawing, don't let him set the bet size. Calling here reps a draw, so the turn didn't help you. Flat call/turn raise is repping a set or AQ floating... I dunno, it's a wierd line. I guess raise on the chance that he's got 2 spades or straight draw.

Hand 3. I think you bet, 1/2 pot or something. Pots too small to just hope he bluffs the river. I would bet whatever you think will be percieved as weak by an agressive player who will raise.

Hand 1 he had TJo with no spade and I won the pot.

Hand 2 I pushed and he called with JJ and the river blanked,

Hand 3 I bet 8 on the turn and he folded.
