A few .50/1.00 hands in question. Comments on all streets appreciated

[jacktoaking]

Hello I have been a long time lurker and finally decided to post some hands. I am just a little better than a break even player before I started playing poker again recently and am really trying to improve. I have all the essential tools SSH, pokertracker, and other books. But now I need some feedback from the experts. Anyway here are the hands:

You need to specify who hero is in the hands, FYI

It would help if he gave the hole cards as well.

Thanks sorry about that, its been a while.

Everything looks fine. The only debatable hand is whether to fire at any point postflop in hand 2, but with such a large field and a paint flop I think checking the whole way is fine.

EDIT: Oops, I missed MP3's preflop raise in hand 3. I think it's more likely villain has AQ and a 3-bet on the river has value here.

The turn is also close, but with plenty of outs and no aggression shown by either player, a semi-bluff bet is fine unless you read one of the players as a calling station.

Hand 1: Perfect

Hand 2: I think this is close between checking and betting.

Hand 3: I like 3betting here(some may disagree). He doesn't have a set of Queens here, because he would have raised your flop bet, but he could have AQ. That's what I put him on. Either AQ or KQ. I think the flush is unlikely.

I'm not sure why others are quick to give Villain credit for the flush in hand 3, when AQ or KQ are more likely.

I wouldn't 3 bet the river in hand 1. I think villain is more likely to have something like T8s than Qx since hero already has 2 of the other queens.

On hand 2 I bet out on the flop and see who we can get rid of. If all but 1 folds I'll bet the turn and check the river.

Hand 3 I would probably just call. It may be weak but I hate being in a position to win 1 bet or lose 2 which is what happens if you raise.
