A few Commerce Hands

[AragornX151]

First trip to Commerce was quite a success, and was most interesting in that (from my limited experience), the games seemed to get BETTER as the limits got higher. Here are a few hands I thought were interesting.

1. 60-120: There's a limp in early position and a player who had only sat for a few orbits but seemed better than most and not nutty, raises in the CO. Folded to me and I 3-bet Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. BB, an incredibly loose, weak fish on a rush who played 7 out of 10 pots preflop on average (plus was a real d*ck), calls, and limper calls. CO caps, we all call.

Flop is a doozy: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked to CO who bets, I c/r, fish calls two cold, limper folds, CO 3-bets. What's your plan for the rest of the hand?

2. This may be pretty simple, but I think it's a semi-interesting spot in today's day & age. First orbit at 60-120, so no real reads yet, but UTG seems pretty fishy (more in a calling station kinda way, though, he'd limped three times pre but hadn't yet raised). He raises, Russian guy in MP2 3-bets. I'm in SB with black tens. What's your usual play here?

3. 60-120: Folded to me in CO, I raise A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB (Russian guy from earlier, who has since shown himself to be too loose and prone to tilt, but not as bad as some in the game) calls. Flop is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He leads, I raise, he calls. Turn is the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. He checks. Is there any merit to checking behind here, given that he most likely mucks straight draws/gutshots and flush draws to this card but may bluff the river, putting me on AK or something, or is betting clearly best to collect now from overcards and small pairs/deuces?
