Default 3 decisions I thought were -ev but good in the long run

These are non-turbos so you have lots of time to pick your spots. The first one I really thought about calling for hypothetical stack size reasons. The 2nd one I did call for that reason. The third I thought was a clear +ev push but I thought it would be better to wait for a better spot. Any thoughts?

You did it! You've just defied mathematics and stated the impossible!


They all look like folds to me except 3rd one could be fine to shove.

first 2 are soooo fist pump folds. 3rd is a shove, but can be neg ev depending on a v loose range.

how about -EV due to future hands with a bigger stack in position against him, rather than a loose range.

Hand 1, your five is definitely live, gotta call.
Hand 2, both cards live, 3 way pot, str8 possibilities, getting at least 2-1, easy easy call.
Suited broadway, how can you fold hand 3?!?!
