Okay, now I have a difficult time handling raises (esp in the blinds) when I have quality hands. Any thoughts/advice is welcome.

Hand 1 looks potentially stealish. Does he steal from that far off the button? I think you played it fine. Part of me wants to 3-bet preflop, but it really depends on your read of MP3.

Hand 2 you're almost certainly dominated here by a legit UTG raise so the 3-bet is pretty LAGish. I'd certainly see the flop, but muck when I totally whiff.

It was on odd table, very aggressive preflop and passive post flop. I didn't feel comfortable and left after a few orbits.

I like Hand 1, I play it the same way

3-betting Hand 2 is over aggressive, I think I just call the UTG raise and check/fold the flop

Hand 1: If the button wasnt in the way, I'd 3bet.
