    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    I bet 100 on the flop. meh i prob. give up on turn to. I might bet/fold if it wasn't a ace. Seems if they were floating you it was prob with a A.

    These hands to me are an example of reverse implied odds. Even though you have an overpair, if its less than TT, I believe in sticking to set or forget. Espeically with that many limpers seeing the flop.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    I think this is fine. With that many limpers seeing the flop there's too much risk that somebody has 3x or called your bet with A5.

    I agree with bjaust in that if i dont hit a set im pretty much giving up on the flop.

    I am happy to bet the flop with an overpair, even with four opps in the hand. Once you get called by two opps I am giving up on the turn.
