    First one I'd raise or shove.. It would be OK to limp behind in low blind levels but limping 80 is too much for your stack and accomplishes nothing.. Limpers are mostly too weak and you should take advantage of them.. The pot is 200 when it's your turn so you can as well shove since it's more than 15% of your stack, or you can std raise and play in position..As played you can shove the flop too because you're probably ahead..

    2nd one is very good..

    3rd one is tricky.. If you have such a read you can fold I guess.. I'm not so sure of the first flat call though.. I think you should shove there..Hopefully someone better will explain that..

    You can't defend limping for set value when you have 15BB
    It's raise or fold at this point
    I love #2, I will do this all day until they realize that limping in front of me is trouble
    as played I fold #3, not too crazy about the cold-call

    1st one - just shove preflop, you only have 15bbs. As played I think you have to raise or just shove over the flop bet. Its usually just a lower pair than yours or a flush draw

    2nd one - nice. you'd have to standard raise at least 4x which is already a good chunk of your stack, so just push

    3rd one - shove preflop again, you only have 20bbs and JJ should be in good shape even against a UTG raise. As played I think theres too much money out there to fold now...you never know what $2 players could do this with. If you win its a triple up, which is huge
