This was a successful weekend, overall, but here are several I think I might have done better on. No special reads here, the table was quite loose/passive.
#1: When MP1 bet the river, I didn't consider that he might have been planning a turn checkraise. How bad was my river raise?

#2: On this one, I 3-bet the flop to lock players in in case I hit my set. I was pretty sure nearly all would stay in, although the cap frankly wasn't anticipated. Anyway, comments on this tactic (on this hand) would be appreciated.

SB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.
My passivity on the turn/river was based on a read of Button as very passive. Too passive? Should have folded? Call down just right??

#4: I'm just confused about how to play this one. My flop play was probably pretty bad; there are no overcards to drive out with the raise so it's problematical, and I should maybe give it up after the 3-bet. I think the turn/river is probably okay, but aren't really sure.
