Default Some questionable hands

Hand 1: Villain was a pretty huge station. He had been calling almost all of my prf's & cbets, but showed he didn't need much to continue on the flop (didn't get to showdown much with him, but he called a prf w/ A3 then my cbet with a 3 and checked it down). If I remember correctly he was snapcalling, so I was putting him on a fd. I also thought he was pretty passive with weak hands. Should I have played any streets differently? Would a blocking bet have been better or should I have gone w/ my read and c/fed as played?




Hand 2: Don't remember much about this villain. Does betting the turn or river accomplish anything? Should I have b/fed the river maybe, or is the board too dangerous to expect to get any value from weaker hands?




Hand 3: UTG was an unknown who had recently sat down. MP who raised his limp is a good, competent reg who doesn't need that big of a big hand to attack limpers. We have a bit of history but I probably have a good, TAG image to him. I've squeezed and 3b his raises before, so he probably suspects that I can play back at him a little light, but I haven't shown down anything weak lately, so I think I'm still getting lots of respect. Is a 3b right in this situation? I obviously don't care about utg's cold-call range with that flop since I'm getting it in no matter what, but what is it?



Edit: sorry, idk how to get them all onto one replayer; I'll learn for the next time.

First hand... I like your line against most loose-passives. If he's the type that will auto-bet every time it looks like his opponent is giving up then I'd prefer a blocking bet/fold on the river. With the reads given it sounds like your line was perfect.

Second hand... Fire the turn for value usually, and 100% value bet the river as played.

Third hand... Well played.

Hand 1: This is fine against a station who is unlikely to bluff scare cards.

Hand 2: Bet the turn, as played bet the river

Hand 3: I like it, nh
