The following three hands seemed worthy of review. I'll present them in the order they occurred, and let discussion wind down on one before moving to the next.
Hand 1
Level 3 (200/300/300 BBA) 7-handed
UTG (~20,000) raises to 800
UTG+1/LJ (~35,000) calls 800
HJ (~30,000) 3bets to 2,200.
Hero/BTN (29,000) has JhJc. Action?
Well, I went with the second best option, and called. Figured I was too strong to fold, but didn't think a 4-bet here was advisable. I've got position post-flop (if it comes to this) and unless UTG is super-strong, that's where I think this hand is going.
Blinds fold, UTG & +1 call.
Flop (9600 in pot) Ts4s4d
UTG & +1 check, HJ bets 4,000. Action on me. I have an overpair to a four-way paired flop with a flush draw available, and I have position. I don't think raising is advisable, and it still seems like I'm too strong here to fold. Should I call again?
