hand 1 is fine, looks like jt got there
hand 2 is fine, looks like he had a 9
hand 3 fold preflop, that hand is too weak to play
i fold the flop also
as you played it the turn and river are fine

[losingdonkey]

also a genereal question - roughly how often should I be completing the sb?

[BigBadBabar]

depends on what hand you have, and how many guys limped before you.

With Q6o? I'll go with never. However, I suppose if you're at a table seating 14 and they are all in you could play it from the SB.

Hand 1: I fold the after the 3-bet. Without a read, I can't think of anything he has that I beat.

Hand 2: I fire another on the turn. It'll give you a better sense of where you stand, and a chance to take the pot as well.

If he calls, you can try to get a free showdown. At this point, it is unlikely your A high is still good. If he c/r's then you can fold. If he has a 9 he'll probably let you know here. The check on the turn made your ace tricky to play on the river.

Hand 3: Fold preflop. I think I bet the flop and want everyone to fold.

I consider 13-1 my breakeven point for playing A2C from the SB (note: in 1/2 blind structure); this means five limpers and a BB who will basically never raise.

I don't have any solid numbers behind that; maybe I did it as an excuse to never complete A2C from the SB in a 6-max game since there's no way you can have five limpers; maybe it's because my lucky number is 13.

But anyway, I also have 2 years of limit hold'em experience and you have, well, less. Dump Q6o until this game makes you crazy enough to tapdance through that minefield.

1) I'd play the same, I think he has a pair or draw or pair+draw more often than a hand beating yours when he donks the turn (your average donk goes for check/raises with strong hands) and you can't fold to a 3 bet against an unknown with so many draws on board.
2) I would bet the turn and fold to a raise, unless it has changed since I played people don't semibluff too much at that level, and might not bluff the river.
3) I would just lead the flop. Once you check the flop you're in a [censored] RIO situation when button bets.
