Default $16 Stars: 3 hands from tonight need your help

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP1 (t3405)
MP2 (t1035)
CO (t630)
Button (t1550)
SB (t1330)
Hero (t1470)
UTG (t1475)
UTG+1 (t2605)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4, 3.
UTG calls t50, 1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t50, MP2 calls t50, CO calls t50, 1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t300) J, 5, 6 (6 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, CO bets t200</font>, SB folds, Hero ???

Villian is a regular so I didnt think his bet here shouldnt be anything but trips. That shouldnt affect my decision really because I have a crucial draw here. Where should I go from here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP (t2730)
CO (t2920)
Button (t3205)
SB (t2200)
Hero (t1370)
UTG (t1075)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 8.
UTG raises to t400</font>, [c5 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t250
Havent seen anything out of the ordinary from villian. Im at a different computer so no SNGwiz available. I feel I can wait for a better spot. Agree?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP (t1860)
Button (t5175)
SB (t1425)
Hero (t2730)
UTG (t2310)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 5.
2 folds</font>, Button raises to t600</font>, 2 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t500

Big stack has been very active from the button. I feel like he would fold to a push but I dont have enough balls. Let this one go regardless of how big my balls are?

hand 1: CO isn't necessarily just on trips, so i'm not sure how you came to this conclusion. at this stage with that many limpers i'll probably call with AJs from the c/o just to see a flop, but no matter what, you're drawing to your straight/flush outs and not your pair outs. i might c/r flop and try and get it in as a favorite on the flop, tho i think an arguement could be made for just calling (tho a good reg will recognize when draws hit and you might not be able to get any additional value, which is why i might c/r with the intention of getting it in).

hands 2 &amp; 3: standard.

Hand 1: If villain was any good he wouldn't be limping with a (t630) stack or be underbetting the flop, he is most likely a donk so I wouldn't give him credit for trips. Just push after his bet, if you call you invite higher flush draws to call behind you. Even if you were 100% certain he had trips pushing isn't that bad.

Hand 2, 3 seem like easy folds.

Hand 1 he has no chips so just get allin vs him (check shoooove) - his range probably isn't as tight as just sets, but whatever OESFD gogogogooogogog!

Hand 2 - Seems an easy fold, i'd fold if he raised to 250/300/XXX but when people raise to 400 thats like the #1 tell that you have no FE, and they have some good but marginal hand (JJ/TT/99/AQ/sometimesQQ) that they don't know how to play well, so raising a bit extra does the trick!!!

Hand 3 - I'm fine with restealing if hes been active

Hand 1: Definitely go with the draw. Its on stars, so its bound to come [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hand 2: This is a definite overcommit bet. BUT, hes UTG, so I can't see weak aces in his range here. Its more likely AT+ or A9+, along with 66-QQ. No fold equity here, so I fold.

Hand 3: Looks like a free 700 chips to me.

1) dont mind getting it in here your hand is huge; you can lead at that flop a lot too.

2) fold

3) shove or fold, kinda depends both look reasonable
