Hand 1: Raise or fold the flop. I really think this is a 50/50 play, but calling gets you nowhere because you know BB will lead out on the turn. Don't play to catch a 10 in this situation - raise to find out if your hand is good, or get out of there.

Hand 2: If I were in the CO/Button/SB position with those limpers, I would raise this. Normally, I would just check from the BB, but I can hear the argument for raising. However, being that you raised preflop, you need to bet the flop and hope somebody with top pair or K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] gets frisky. Remember, you want their money in the pot. I think the check made them suspicious.

Hand 3: On a table with non-aggressive players, I'm okay with the UTG raise with KQo, but muck if the table is more aggressive. Other than that, I think you played well. If you have some evidence that UTG+1 is a rock, fold the turn.
