Some Interesting Hands (6.50)

[DetroitHusling101]

All 3 of these are from the same SNG.
Hand 1: Limper i have no read on. Villian who shoves just doubled me up when i had QQ and raised 100 pf and he shoved over with AJ. He had doubled up early getting it all in w/ A9 VS KK. My reason for folding is the limper calling his shove and not having a read on limper. Thinking about it now i should have called since me and awful villian were deep and if i won vs him than i'd still have about the same chips (i think).

Hand 2: Villian here is the limper from last hand. He limp called All in with A2 so now i know he's also horrible (a Ace hit so he doubled). Does everyone just fold this i bvb vs such a horrible player who will probally pay you off if u hit a big hand? I was calling his min raise pretty wide but not sure if it's ok. For implied odds obv and i'll have position post flop. Something like Any Suited A K Q or J's. SC 56+ and broadways and all Aces/PP.
Flop i didn't notice i had to pair i thought i just had middle pair (6 tabling , it's a leak i know) or i would have raised flop obv.

Hand 3: This is maniac villian from hand 1 who pushed over my raise (not the limp caller with A2off idiot). Does anyone get away here with only one over on the board? He was pushing pre with any ace and pushing flops for like 20X overbets constantly. So maniac is what i noted him as.

Per hand 3:
Is cbetting close to pot on this flop bad vs this kind of villian? I figured the maniac would call or shove over with worse hands so that was my reasoning to bet closer to pot than bet 2/3. I had a feeling he was folding like 0 percent of hands so the big bet is for value.

Hand 1 - I think the fold is good because the shover is the other big stack on the table and with UTG limp/calling. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I assume that an UTG limp/re-raiser usually has a big hand. The most important factor here though is the fact that the shover is the other big stack. If he had a normal stack I would probably call.

Hand 2 - I just dump this preflop, although given stack sizes you probably do have implied odds to call the raise. On the flop, don't slowplay bottom two pair, it's too easily dominated. I put in a BIG raise to like 150-180 and shove over if he re-raises. As played, the turn is a safe card, I'd get it AI too - but I would have just gotten it AI on the flop.

Hand 3 - I think your line is fine, particularly considering your stack size. The other thing you could consider if he is a maniac is C-R AI on the flop.

Yeah i didn't mean to slowplay hand 2, wasn't paying enough attention and reckoned i only had middle pair but right after the turn hit i noticed luckly or i would have lost a lot of value.(working on successfully 6 tabling , but obv leaky given im not seeing what i have on the flop quick enough). I always play bottom 2 fast ,unless it's HU or 3way vs agrro player than i'll slowplay (and by HU or 3way i dont mean the pot i mean the table)
