These hands all happened in succession. Third hand I took a stab at it after playing the first two passively. thoughts?

[Sherman]

You should have taken a "stab" at the first two moreso than the 3rd one.

You have no reason not to c-bet those innocuous flops.

On the third one, raising is fine sometimes; but so is folding.

The third one is actually the worst flop for your hand.

Idk really, I'm more likely to raise the 1st one over the other 2. I really don't like reraising the 3rd one btw. That board just kinda sucks.

[black666]

c-bet hand 1 + 2 and fold hand 3 (raising here can be good against some villains, but I think you are getting called or shoved a lot and you have no pair no draw)

[Pokerfarian]

Generally cbet hand 1 &amp; 2. Just fold hand 3 to his donk, there is no profitable way of continuing. I also don't get the riverbet in hand 1.
Hand 2 is actually an interesting hand decision semi-related to some recent threads. The argument against cbetting is he's not folding worse &amp; not calling with better. I'd still cbet it mostly but it's worthy of some thought imo.

Holla.

1st hand, you have a gutshot+overs and position --&gt; cbet is fine (most of the time).

2nd hand, high card + low --&gt; cbet is fine.

3rd hand, connected flop --&gt; worst flop for you, but raising isn't necessarily bad.
