I have a few hands I'd like you to look at. Tell me if this is standard or if I'm costing myself money either not value betting enough, or not slowing down enough.
Where would you slow down, if at all, and where would you keep raising? Critique on all streets appreciated.
HAND 1:
No read on the Villian as he had only been around one orbit. UTG+2 was a donk. I mean, who posts in UTG+2?

With that much action, I was fearing a set and then the runner runner flush didn't help me feel confident about TPTK.
Hand 2:
Villian plays a LOT of hands. Fortunately for me, he only raises his good ones. Good could be a lot though. Though, I had never seen him 3-bet anyone preflop.

So many undercards. Where do you slow down, or don't you?
Hand 3:
This happened to me all 3 times I had KQ in my session last night. An ace flopped. Is this a good line to take? UTG is complete donk limping every hand from everywhere. Was MP in previous post. Villian I have no reads on.
