Hand #1 is an easy 3-bet preflop: it is 5-handed not full ring. i would donkbet the river and fold to a raise. looks like 2 pair, but if he's on a flush draw, he'll check the river through with a worse hand. plus you don't want to call the river bet incase UTG was on a flush draw and get c/r and get tempted to waste 2 BBs. so i'm donking to fold to a raise by either player basically unless you think someone will raise with less than TPGK then i'd play it the same.

hand #2: pretty much the same strategy as hand #1 to call the turn raise and donk/call the river. don't 3-bet the turn if you plan on seeing the river unless you have some nutty read we're not aware of. once he caps, you're toast against an ABC player.


hand#3: you gotta fold to the turn c/r IMO. you've shown enough strength.

part of your downswing could be due to holding too long and/or pushing too hard with these TPTK type hands unless you have some LAG read.
