On hand 1, I think you can just call when UTG leads out on the river. You've already shown quite a bit of strength and he suddenly wakes up and bets into you. I couldn't guess what he might have, but I think it's best to just call.

Hands 2 and 3 look good.

In hand 1, though, UTG has been calling the earlier bets, so he's been in the hand the whole time. A bet on the river doesn't change that, does it?

In hand 2, what did BB end up with? AQ?

In hand 1, UTG shows the dreaded 97o (lol).
In hand 2, BB shows 64o or something - we split.
In hand 3, Button shows AJo, and I think, wtf?

Hand 1: You can consider raising PF and playing this 2-handed if the blinds are tight. If loose, don't bother.

looks fine. i cap the river, if UTG shows 44 i'd be surprised and make a note, but i reckon you're okay here. most microer morons will jam their "slowplayed" 7 on the turn. It's worth the extra 1BB for when they're maniacs.

Hand 2 looks standard to me. If the river isn't a 7 in hand 2 i raise and expect to see a 4 with your nut kicker being good. The 7 is a scare card.

hand 3 dead standard. MP1 folded their flush draw rather than show it lol.
