Hand#1- Can bet larger on flop, since button can call with many draws. Turn is chill. River... if you bet, you are looking for calls from worse As... so it's ok to check as you did. though a small bet wouldnt be bad.

Then def fold to his shove. If you bet and he raises, fold there as well. its prob 2 pair. nice hand.

#2- you ,ay wanna check with someone else on this math stuff. but preflop, no need to raise so much. I think to 0.12 max (then again i dont play 2nl...). Depends on this fool raising... but 2 overcards + nut flush draw I think its ok vs 1 pair, and if hes being aggro tarded with a worse flush draw ofc its good. depends what you know about the guy. shoving there could be a paranoid 2 pair or set... a lot of people are afraid of losing to flushes!!

#3- You should have been aware of BB the whole time. utg limp called, so forget him, he could have a lot of things. BB could have a real hand. and he check raises flop. I'd fold right there, you're most likely beat by at least 2 pair.

I'm not the best player, but these are my thoughts! gl, and nice hands :)

Hand 1: More OTF, more OTT and then bet river. As played its a fold.

Hand 2: Pre is fine. Raise UTG OTF, as played I call it off. At 2nl they will have a huge range here.

Hand 3: I raise the flop when UTG bets. The comment above me suggest to fold to the min raise. That is an awful decision. We flop TP and the nut flush draw, this isn't a hand we are folding quickly. As you played it I would then flat his flop min raise. The turn is a fold.

I bet small on the turn of the first hand cause I thought it was the best way to get value from small aces and other stuff Im beating and kinda as a blocking bet too, because Aj and At were in his range and I wanted to pot control too. I 3bet bigger PF because if I recall correctly one of them was a fish. Is this valid reasoning?

Btw, how much would you be raising it assuming villain was a fish (I think he had 30/5)? Because he was so passive, I figured his donking range would be strong and didnt want to get raised off the hand when i could just call with such a great price...

Yep pre in hand 2 is fine imo. Especially at 2nl we can raise more with our strong hands.

Hand 1:
I bet more on the flop for value vs random FDs, worse Ax, big combo draws, etc. I feel the same way on the turn as the 2 is pretty insignificant. You need to charge his draws more when you have a hand. Not really sure on the river, but your line seems weak to me if I'm villain. Weak bet flop/weak turn bet on a blank/checks blank river. Betting the river would have been my plan probably, but the stack to pot ratio also would have been smaller. I probably fold without any reads.

Hand 2:
I usually raise super weak donk bets when I have any sort of hand. That would make calling the BTN's shove easier. I think you have pot odds to call as is, but I'm not entirely sure, others would be more able to tell you. If I feel BTN can shove overpairs or worse FDs, I definetly call.

Hand 3:
Another weak donk bet that I would normally raise, which probably changes how the rest of the hand plays. As played I call the min check/raise with the NFD, since pot odds are good. I think turn is a good fold. Shtty spot to be in 3 way imo. Any ace will likely outkick you by the river and the flush outs aren't clean anymore.

Yes, Ive got odds to call.
Why would I raise on hand 3? Its multi-way and there's a pretty good chance Im already beaten, and if Im not, the raise should allow only better hands to continue.

UTG open limps. I really don't give this too much credit for a big hand. You iso with Axs in the CO, I would do the same vs the right opponents. BB cold calls. His big hands probably 3bet me here. When he calls he more likely imo has suited connectors, low to mid pocket pairs, Axs, etc. UTG calls behind so I figure him to be on the same type of hands, maybe a bit wider with more in the pot.

Flop gives you top pair, no kicker and a nut-flush draw in position. BB checks so I don't get much from that. UTG donk bets .08 into a pot of .25 so ~1/3 of the pot. Judging from the range I gave him preflop I would say it's likely he is betting out trying to see a cheap turn with some type a draw (flush draws and combo draws), a weak pair (not likely an ace as two are already removed), or big made hands. Of course he may be donking with a big hand but I feel he would more likely look to check/raise.

I raise here for value as I think he will call with most of his draws, where he is drawing very slim. BB will likely fold most of his hands unless he has something big so I will likely be heads up. I want UTG to put in as much money as possible when he is behind. If he did infact have a hand, say KTo for the straight and raises, we win the pot ~35% of the time by the river so we can decide if the pot odds are favorable to call when the situation comes up. If he has some weird AA or QQ we win by the river less often though barely. If he folds now I win the pot and I can't complain about that.

That is why I say the rest of the hand probably plays differently, and imo easier, if we raise UTG's donk bet. Obviously this is just my take on this situation with limited information. Others will probably see it differently which is fine.
