Three hands on a disastrous weekend afternoon at 1/3NL, 9-handed. A mixed group of players.

Hand 1:
Two EP and MP limpers.
Hero ($300) opens to $20 with AQo.
Only VillainA (80yo Eastern European male, 30/5, $500) calls.

Before the flop is dealt (this is the first time I've seen someone do this in my life), VillainA declares "I bet $10 without looking" and bets $10.

Flop ($47 + $10): J-J-7r
Hero raises to $55
VillainA reraises to $110

What do you do? What should have been done earlier?


Hand 2:
VillainB (30yo white male, $300, 30/25) opens to $6 in MP

Villain has been min-raising every hand he opens, an extremely unusual move at these stakes.

Hero ($620) 3bets to $20 in the CO with Kc Qc

VillainC (30yo white male, $350, 25/15) cold-calls

Flop ($64): 9c 8c 7d

VillainB bets $35
Hero raises to $120
VillainC re-raises all-in
What do you do?


Hand 3:

Villain D (25yo Asian male, $275, 8/5) limps in MP
Hero ($300) raises to $20 with QQ
Villain E (20yo White male, $800, 60/30) reraises to $90

Villain E has lost four buyins in the past three hours. He opens raises gigantic amounts, often 20bb. He also 3bets very aggressively, and will call down value bets with one pair on all three streets. He has a severe speech impediment.

Villain D 4-bets all-in
What do you do?

H1 just flat flop, we have SDV by raising we never fold better.

H2 would just flat flop, idk if we really ever have FE here. Ap i call but always expect to be behind

H3 ez fold dont pay off nits

h1: I call flop $10, AP I snap fold

h2: I call flop. AP I'm too lazy to run the numbers to see if this is a call now, you do it.

h3: lol snap fold

These hand histories are missing information.
What is the position of Villain A in hand 1? What is our position in hand 1? What is the action of the limpers in hand 1? What is Villain B's action in hand 2?

Hand 1: I would just call his flop 10 dollar bet. If V checked, we shouldn't be c-betting this board. In general, Villains don't respect c-bets on paired boards. We can expect him to call us down with any pair down to 44. If he has 2 high-cards, we are in terrific shape equity-wise. We should treat his minuscule 10 dollar bet as meaningless -- it could be a blocking bet, or a bait to entice you to raise (which worked). Just call.
AP, we have to fold. We lose all of our equity to hit a pair on the turn, which sucks. Which is exactly why we shouldn't raise.

Hand 2: I am going to assume VillainB folded? I don't like the raise. I would just call -- the board is too connected and low. This board is generally not good for our 3-betting range, which consists mainly of two unpaired high cards. Villain B and Villain C both have a range advantage in that they can have JT and you cannot, they can have more sets than you can, etc.
AP, I don't know. I guess I would just call. If we hit our miracle card on the turn, we can win Vs stack. If not, we probably have to fold our draw to Vs likely shove.

Hand 3: Fold. There is 130 dollars of dead money in the pot and we're facing a raise of 255. We need 255/640 = 40% equity to continue. An 8/5 player should only have AA,KK, and possibly AK in this spot. Against that range we have exactly 40% equity, which is marginal with respect to the pot odds we are facing. However, the limp reraise tends to mean AA and KK (to a lesser extent), and rarely AK, so I would fold.

H1:

I'm unfamiliar with on-line stat notation; I'm guessing 30/5 means lol live tightish and quite passive?

I'm ok with preflop although it may depend on what position we are in.

I have no idea why we raised the flop? Are we attempting to get a pair to fold? We've been given great odds. We could just float in position and see what happens (this paired board may even get us a free showdown). Or we could even just fold as we're mostly behind (even to a blind donking AK).

Once the guy reraises it seems like a trivial fold and I'm not sure why we would be thinking otherwise?

H2:

I don't mind the 3bet to isolate in position. I also don't mind just seeing a flop (our hand plays fine multiway in position in high SPR pots).

I just flat this flop. Yeah, we have 2 overs and the second nut flush draw. But I think we have very little FE on a board like this 3ways and FE is the main reason we'd raise here. Plus our life sucks if we get 3bet/jammed on (as it will be clear we don't have nearly as many outs as we think we do and will actually be forced to fold). Plus we're cool with bringing along the other guy.

As played, I'm too lazy too math but I doubt we have the odds or outs to call.

H3:

So Villain D is extremely tight and open limped and then jammed over a 3bet (admittedly one that could be wide)? I fold here pretty fast.
