Lets say Villain has KJ. He checks, you bet $550, and he makes it $1700 straight. Now what?

I like the check behind here. This is a flop where it's very easy for Villain to play back at you with not much. You really, really don't want to get raised here.

Good point. Straight and flush draws are there on this board. QQ7 rainbow would be more of a way ahead or way behind scenario.

Hand #1, that's how I would play it.

Hand #2, that's how I would play it. (I can't get away from KK three-handed.)

Hand #3, I flat-call the preflop reraise since I'm in position.

Agree exactly to all.

hands 1 and 2 look great to me.
hand 3 I would have called his first raise because of having position. After you have raised to a 1000 and he pushes your forced to call because even though you might be behind your not behind by much only to kk or aa. Odds wise the correct play would be to call.
good luck!

Thanks for all the replies. While I think the results are somewhat unimportant in this hand, Ill post them anyways:

Hand 1: Villain has q9s, his hand is good.

Hand 2: BB has QQ, Button has AA, aces hold up.

Hand 3: Villain has aces, they hold up.

I think folding may have been the better move in hand 2. Knowing the player in the BB it would have been an easy push, but with the button pushing behind, discretion may have been the better part of valor. I somehow convinced myself that he was just reacting to the BB's LAGishness, but Im not sure that was so likely.
