Default NL10- a few tough folds; thoughts?

villain in this hand was a pretty awful loose/passive player. he minraised frequently, and appeared to be calling 3-bets pretty light.

HAND #1
------------------

Poker Stars, $0.05/$0.10 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

SB: $20.40
Hero (BB): $12.60
UTG: $15.85
CO: $17.90
BTN: $10.20

Pre-Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
3 folds, <font color="red">SB raises to $0.20</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.20</font>, SB calls $1

Flop: ($2.40) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $1.55</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $3.50</font>, Hero folds

Results: $5.50 Pot ($5.50 Rake)


villain in this hand was also loose/passive. i hadn't seen him get out of line thus far, and i am unsure of how he built his stack.

Flop: ($1.20) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $0.50</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.75</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to $7.80</font>, Hero folds

Results: $4.70 Pot ($4.70 Rake)


i limped pf here because the initial limper was horrible. it definitely wasn't standard for me, and in retrospect i don't like it at all. i played this hand awful on all streets except the flop, imo. i think i should've flat the turn and flatted a river bet (or bet if checked to).

the main villain in this hand is unknown. what could i have done better (other than "fold pf")?

Hand 1: Can't fold that. Shove it...could be KK or AQ.


Hand 2: Can't fold that either. Could be a draw or a lower 2 pair. Shove it.


Hand 3: I probably wouldn't fold this either though it does look like a good chance of a higher flush.

All these folds are horrible except maybe hand #3 is close. You are VERY exploitable if you are constantly making folds like this.

hand 2- yes it could be a draw or lower two pair. i folded with the reasoning that if he has two pair he has to have KJ/QJ (seems kinda unlikely) and if he has a draw it's most likely a huge one. i am obv. ahead of a combo draw, but that is like the best case scenario.

hand 3- what do you think of turn? do you like raise/flat then flat river?

hand 1-he had never raised b v b before. i felt like that weighted his range more toward QQ/JJ. i don't think he is 4-betting either of them pf. he 4-bets KK i would imagine, so i only really beat AQ. maybe people are all just awful at NL10, so i should just stack off with anything. i have been struggling with that. it's like, i think i find a realistic/good range to put my opponent on and then i always wonder if i'm just giving too much credit.

I don't think it really matters. I'd probably have reraised turn though like you did.

hm i should use pokerstove more often. i didn't have KT/AK in his range when the hand was being played, but in retrospect AK should def. be in there.
