I would raise because I would want to protect my hand, even though it's a very good flop for you. And close to the bubble I wouldn't risk anyone outdraw me. I don't understand the seize of the bets so I can't answer how much I would raise though.

Tough situation, because you have to decide if you want a caller here or end the hand now. If you want to end it here, and think you can get folds, you shove. If you want to try and profit from your 2 pair, if you think you have a read, then you just call and re-evaluate the next 2 streets.

I think a raise was the best decision, at least that's what I would do

Hi, if you manage to connect a pair and you see that the other cards do not form a stronger hand you could risk to go all in after the turn I think that if someone has a lower than yours it will equal you and lose before you.

It's good, but any hand like crack or above wins.

I would of raised PF, why call in the cut off when we have a perfect stealing hand.

I would raise the flop with 2 players infront of me, raise the turn with any -9 card shove river if clean run out.

Re raise for sure this way if there's an ace with a better kicker you want to make them think about it before just snap calling

Depending on how close to the bubble u are, and what the payout is when the bubble pops, I'd be inclined to push. unless they have the nuts they'll go away on a draw.

Is a very difficult decision, it depends a lot on the moment and the situation, especially with your balance of chips, if mine were with few chips, I bet everything, otherwise I would increase and analyze the opponent until the cards are displayed

Just shove and close your eyes hoping some fish calls you with AK.

Chip leader, on the bubble with Top and bottom pair. You've got all the power in the world, raise it because the other players know that they risk being bubbled themselves. If you receive any push back, then proceed with caution.

I would go all in. You need to relay on your seventh sense. In those situations, I just know how to react to make the hand profitable for me.
