Hand 1. Fold pre. Raise flop is fine. Raising turn is terrible with 4-card straight on board and villain donking pot.

Hand 2. Check flop. As played, fine.

I gather you have no information on your opponents?

Hand 1. Fold on the turn. What was your plan if villain checked to you?

Hand 2. Fine as played.

First things first. You need information on those opponents. Otherwise your decision becomes exponentially harder.

Hand 1: That's a tough position to get away from, and I would have been suspicious on the turn when the overcard came and you were raised. I still probably would have played it the way you did.

Hand 2: It's hard to say here. Again, you need to know your opponents tendencies. I can't stress that enough. If he's a nit it becomes an easy fold. If he's loose than maybe not.

You say hand 2 is fine
You dont think betting smaller is more preferable?
0.38/0.61= 62% pot on a static board is pretty big

Hand 1 is kinda spewy. The Q is just a terrible card after he leads out and calls your flop raise.

Hand 2. Not sure why you are betting the flop.

Hand 3. Played fine imo
