3 hands How do I extract more value?

Isura, Frank,

I don't like hand 1. Its a fold preflop, and a bet on the flop

Completing in the SB with A6 in a limped pot is meh. Since hero has the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] it's not a bad spot to try for a stop n go. Leading the flop is fine as well.

flop bet is not necessarily at all. this flop is getting bet a lot. and if it's not, then we weren't getting action anyways.

I don't mind hand 1, and yeah, lead turn hand 2.

In hand 3, if you check and someone bets, are you planning on c/r or flat calling? Look at the board, it is entirely drawless except for JT. Put yourself in villain's shoes, then --- if I was villain, and I bet that flop in position and get a flat caller oop, I'm essentially shutting down unless I hit two pair or trips. If I get c/r on the flop, I'm probably folding whatever I have, because I raise AQ, KQ very often and you are dealing with a whole lot of limpers.

I don't complete A6o vs one limper here either. It's too hard to make a good best hand and someone else a good second best hand and get paid.
