No read on villain in hand #1. All three tables have been more tight than the typical $11 and I should have a solid, tight table image. In hand #3, blinds go up next hand. Do these all look reasonable?

I don't like 3. If the blinds were 100/200 and about to go up next hand, then yes. But as it is, you're still carrying a decent amount of big blinds if you pass here.

I like the other two though, but I'd rather know that UTG was relatively loose.

Hahahahaha. Sorry. Did you just say "image" in the same sentence with $11? I wouldn't consider it.

#1/2 are fairly apparent. #3 is pretty aggressive, although if they're tight enough it can be slightly +EV, but probably not. I can't remember in PS if blinds go up to 75/150 or 100/200. If it's the former I probably fold, the latter I push.
