I had the perfekt position on the table. The whale who was calling way to much was direkt on the right side of me. And the nits on the left Side. I know the players well because i played a lot with them. Whale limped Utg 2 and i raised Q9cc to isolate him because i think i beat his Range and if i flop well i can play a big Pot headsup against him. I done this a lot of times and the nits didn't adjust and kept on folding. To the hand:

V1 (900) limps UTG 2
Hero (500) Raise to 12 in MP
Folds to Button who called 12 (130) unimportant
V2 in BB also called
V1 raised to 28
Hero? You instant fold here? My thought were i could but V1 one on exactly AA KK QQ because i played with him for 6 hours. There is nothing else he'll raise here. So my plan was flatting and flopping a good Hand or maybe play him out depends on the board Structure. I also was 100% sure nobody would reraise here. So i called Btn and BB also called.
Flop (120): 983cc
V1 bet 60
Hero? I wanted to get a free card on the Turn so i raised to 150. The whale was so passive he would never go allin (if he would go allin i think its a easy call because i have 50% against his range.
What i didn't expect was the fact that the BB comes along and Raised allin for 260, the whale tanked for 1 minute and folded.
I called and riverd my flush.
Would you just called the flop? After the hand i thought that would be perfekt because then the BB goes allin, whale call and i can overcall and get the money of both players. But couldn't know that. Is it profitable to call this preflop in some situations? Or was it just lucky?

Some Hands later. Hero was on the Button with AA
UTG 2 limps (180), rest folded, the villian from the BB in the Hand before made it 11 (60 behind)
I didn't raise because i had the feeling he just would have folded and i can play the pot in position.
BB calls and Utg 2 calls. (Don't have reads on him, just sat to the table some minutes ago, but he looked like a recreational player who knows what he do.

Flop J 5 2cc
Hero bet 30
UTG 2 minraised to 60, rest folds Hero? Can i ever fold here? I really had a bad feeling. With what kind of hand is he minraising here?

One hand per thread in the future, please, OP.

Hand one is a fold pre-flop. You'd be OK to set-mine, but you're not deep enough to nut-mine with a suited three-gapper. You'll rarely hit anything, and getting a whale to fold QQ+ post flop is *very* optimistic.

AS played, what is V2's stack and player profile?

Hand 2 flatting is an abomination. This table is obviously call-happy pre. Get value. AP, do we have Ac? What kind of player is UTG 2?

Hand 1: Not a profitable call preflop. His raise is so small it is tempting to call but with the suited 3 gapper the only flops that are good are flush/flush draws, which won't happen often enough.

On the flop, if you know the raise will freeze the turn action then that is better. The BB won't be moving in very often on this board.

Hand 2: Raise preflop. Limping is bad and flatting the 11 after UTG calls even worse. As played, without some specific read on UTG+2 you just have to stack off in this situation. He may have JJ but he could have a club draw or have a worse pair and think he is good. That is the problem with slow playing single pairs, it often leaves you with no idea where you stand in the hand.
