I'd like to check 3 hands to make sure, I'm not fancy playing [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] from my last seesion. All were played 2/4 FR on stars.

1) Someone posted dead money in the pot (so pf was not loose).

Turn: (3.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)

River: (7.75 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB folds\.

Final Pot: 8.75 BB.

Here, I decided to slowplay, as there are not many high spades out there (that will also cold call me usually), hoping someone has hit a marginal hand or will still get one on the turn if not yet.

2) New to the table, no villain known to me.

Final Pot: 9.75 BB.

Ugly spot, especially if nobody is known.
However, my JJ could even in this multiway pot be best and the MP-limp/caller might be the most unlikely to have a king in his hand.
So I tried to find a line that minimizes the risk of getting semibluffed while also minizes the costs when I might be behind.
So I decided just to call on the flop to see what happens behind me and if nobody raises, I will on the turn representing AK or KK, so I can easy fold to a 3bet on the turn (that might be hard on the flop as somebody could 3bet me with 2 spades or a worse PP there).

Here, I put villain following his stats on 99-QQ,AJ-AK,KQs. Given his range, I thought, he will correctly fold 99-JJ here, so I tought despite the 2 spades (what flush draw should he have, only K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] might be), that it is more a less a wa/wb situation here. So my plan was to call him down.
As the river was the 3rd spade, I decided to bet/fold.
Given his low AF, a fold to his raise should be easy, but I didn't want to lose value if ahead.

Sorry for the longer post, but I'd really like to check whether fancy play here or well done [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
