NL50 Full ring - is folding too weak?

[Randal Graves]

Unfortunately I don't have useful reads on villains.

Hand #1:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $52
UTG+1: $14.80
MP1: $57.55
MP2: $36.80
Hero: $47.25
CO: $18.75
Button: $37.90
SB: $35.05
BB: $55.35

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2.5</font>, 2 folds, SB calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($6, 2 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $3.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $7</font>, <font color="blue">Hero ???</font>

Can I call here? If so, then what's my plan on the turn?
Is it weak to fold? Make a bigger bet on the flop?

MP1: $79.20
MP2: $29
CO: $50.05
Button: $50
SB: $45
Hero: $49.50

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
4 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($1.5, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1.5</font>, CO calls, SB calls.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($6, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $3.5</font>, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $10</font>, <font color="blue">Hero ???</font>

I come from limit, and such things are almost always a calldown. I have a hardtime folding these hands sometimes, but would it be likely he bets with something less than a better 7 ?
Should I have made a potsize bet on the turn?

What's my plan if I call or raise?

Why all the weak lead bets? You are just asking to get raised and of course horrible villians love the mini-raise--making our decision even harder in these spots.

Hand #1 - You've been CRed. Know what this means? It means villian likes his hand and has no problems with the texture of the board. You're whooped here. Fold.

Hand #2 - Would like to hear what others have to say. I'm having a hard time laying this down, but I don't especially like my kicker here if that's what it's coming down to. I will most likely try to get to a cheap showdown, dunno.

Hand #3 - Flop bet looks weak to your opponent. I'd have bet closer to ~$6. Not sure if he'd have respected your bet in that case, but, yeah, you're in a predicament right now. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

fold hand 1

call and c/c a reasonable river bet for most opponents, or go for a check minraise on the river against a super megadonk

at least 5 on the flop, fold to a raise vs most reasonable opponents.
