Sanity Check, 3 hands.

I'm in the midst of a big downswing, and as such, I'm questioning everything. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid about my game, perhaps not.

Hand 1:

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG+1 is loose, no reads on SB.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises, 4 folds, SB calls, BB calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (8 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (8.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero calls, SB calls.

Can I really find a raise here?

River: (11.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero...

Hand 2:

BB is loose, but has folded to a steal 2/3 times.

Might raise the turn on hand 1, but calling down is probably best. Tough choice.

Often folding the turn on hand 2, but I like betting the river.

Checking the river on hand 3, raising the turn though.

You really need to bet the river in hand 2. Tons of worse hands are calling.

Yes, you will often have the best hand, and you have 10 outs against a flush. But I don't think calling down is a bad choice either.

Unless I have a read on what SB's donkbet means, I don't want to risk more money on this hand. I check behind.

Hero checks behind. A worse hand will not call, and a better hand will almost never fold.

hand 1 I fold it on flop.

Hand 2 probably fold turn against typical players. I don't like the pre-flop raise with JT offsuit. In loose games like this you will usually see the BB and SB call and your equity isn't very big. With JT offsuit you want to try to steal against players that are rocks.

hand 3 a bet on river might get him to fold. His donk bet seems to be a bluff since he checks the river.

Sorry BUMP I posted twice because I didn't see my message. It seems like 2+2 has a lot of people on tonight.
