2/4 NL full ring/10 players:
Hand 1:
Hero has $400 with J
J
in UTG+1.
Folds to hero, hero raises to $20
UTG+2 calls (tight player, made some good folds that session)
1 more caller IP
Pot is $66
Flop comes J
Q
Q
Hero c-bet's $25 (as I'd done the last 2 hands I was in, could bet more?)
UTG+2 calls, other guy folds.
Turn: 8
I decide to check here only because the last 2 hands I was in I had taken down on the flop uncontested and no one had seen a showdown with me yet. I wanted to give this guy a chance to "push me off it". And he did; he bet $60 into the ~$110 pot.
I Hollywood for a while and call (Pot now ~$230)
Possibly bad here, but a brick on the river, I have ~$300 behind and I check to him...He bets! He bets about $150, I ponder and ponder and ponder, looking at my stack, as if to say "Well I may as well shove" and shove, he folds with about $220 behind.
Thoughts?

Hand 2:
Hero is UTG with $500. Hero has 6
6
(Lowest PP I will open with here).
I open to $16. Called by 2 guys to my immediate left (same guy from above +1 more).
Pot is $54.
Flop is K
Q
6
(puke)
I bet out pretty big, about $40 to close down any draws, I still had massive equity here (>60%).
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls.
Turn: 8
Pot: $134. He's definitely sticking around here with any King or high Queens (loose caller)
I bet out $100 ($360 behind)
He calls(!)
Pot is $334
River: 6
....
I check.....And he checks!
He shows K
Q
Phew! If bet into, without looking at it I'm guessing I'd be far <10% equity there on the river...Ugly card. I dodged a bullet there.

Hand 3:
Hero has J
T
on BTN ($600+ behind)
UTG limps
MP limps
Hero raises to $16
SB calls
BB re-raises to $35 (Very spewy player, had been vocal about getting **** hands all night, loves to gambool, showed down a massive bluff earlier. Was constantly moving seats lol)
UTG calls
MP limper calls
...So hero calls (Likely will be 5 way)
...And SB calls (lol)
Pot is $175!
Flop: A
J
8
BB (re-raiser) looks pissed, is complaining about something under his breath (lol Ace), checks around to me, I check. (Just assuming I'm behind so much here, 5 way and all).
Turn: 2
Checks around again to hero;
Who puts out $125.
Everyone folds. BB laments that "The Ace always comes!!" Smashes his chips into the table.
