Hi, will keep this short, wondering if I could get any comments. All 2p4p NLH short hand. Please note I play at a poker room where the standard is generally very poor and very loose. Please could you comment on what I would be better doing, and if I played it badly pre.

Hand 1

Hero :9c4::9h4:

Raised pre to 20p, had position one player limp calls. No reads on this player who has a full stack pretty much.

Flop :qc4::5s4::4d4: (2players)

Pot 46p

Villain donks for 27p
Hero??


Hand 2

Hero middle position :ad4::10d4:

UTG makes a 10p raise pre and I call, one behind me also calls
pot about 36p

Notes on villain 1 - weak/poor
Notes on villain 2 - seems to understand the basics, prone to all ins with non nut hands at the river, eg straight on board with 3 spades, or flush on paired board

Flop :3d4: :ad4: :8d4: (3players)

Villain #1 contiuation for 8p
Hero raises to 20p
Villain # 2 raises to 78p
Villain # 1 fold
Hero??


Hand 3

Min raised (by villain 3) flop4 way. hero :ks4::jc4: second to act
Assume no notes for this one.

Pot about 36p

Flop :6d4::8c4::kc4:

Villain 1 donked out with a min bet
Hero ????
Villain 2
Villain 3
Villain 4

Is it okay to raise a donk bet? and what about in this instance? given that players here often call any old cards for a min bet (or even a 4xbb raise)

Any constructive feedback would be great.

Thanks

:listen:

the first looks like a 5 so call the second looks like a two pair or better so fold if dont like stacking off adventures and the third is a raise to half the pot and see what happens.

Might look like a five but could easily be a Qx hand, would also need to take into consideration stack sizes and villain tendencies. All in all it is really tough to give advice with so little information, OP would you be willing to change poker rooms?
