100NL, how are these hands?

[griffey24]

These were a few hands from my session today that I wasn't so sure about. I'd appreciate any help, thanks!


Hand 1:
- no real reads on either of the players. The table has been playing pretty straight forward so far, nobody really making any big plays yet. Only had one hand with villian in blinds so far and he called my PF raise from blinds earlier, and called my cont. bet but folded to my 2nd barrel on turn.
-wasn't sure if I should be worried about cold call in blinds
-wasn't sure if i should be re-popping the queens or just calling the button's raise after blind cold calls

Hand 2:

- I don't usally limp in preflop, especially from the button. With the number of players limped in before me, I decided that this hand was good for a multi way pot
-should I be raising the flop with so many callers, or take the turn card getting good pot odds?
-Folding or raising the turn?

Hand 3:

-I hadn't noticed this table being full of calling centres until this hand where everyone called my re-raise preflop
-should I shut down on this hand after I missed the flop with so many callers?
-Is such a small turn bet pointless? bet bigger or check?

grif,

Hand 1: I would rereraise a bit more preflop. I think you played it fine, even though its a really shitty relative position you are in. Btw, I dont hate a preflop call without reads even though rereraising is probably better.
Hand 2: Raise preflop. As played raise flop, and dont mind to get it allin on the flop, because you have a monstedraw. As played I think I just call the turn. Any read on the would be nice, because you might be able to fold out some Qx type of hand. But trying to push unknowns off their hand on the river is generally a mistake at lowstakes, so folding is good.
Hand 3: Preflop is fine, maybe reraise a bit more if you are up against calling stations. I would check/fold on any later street to any reasonable bet. I think betting anywhere in this 4-way pot is spew.

Thanks for the help Robert,

yah in hand 1 I thought about re-raising more pre-flop since there were two callers in the hand, but really wasn't sure what the cold call in the blinds mean.

Does a cold call generally mean a monster hand and wants to keep the initial raiser in the hand, or does it usually just mean a solid Ace or good pocket wanting to see a flop?

Anyone else have any feedback?

Without a read I wouldnt really worry that much about the coldcaller, because buttons reraise is so small, and because there are a lot donks at these stakes that call reraises cold with crap (the fact that he's playing short indicates that he's a donk).
If you for a fact knew that the cold caller is a solid player, he probably has 22-JJ, because a solid player would rereraise AA/KK/QQ (and maybe AK) the small reraise here to get the pot HU.
