Three hands up for review, from the same session:


Hand 1:

Ultimate Bet
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25./$0.50.
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $39.55
UTG+1: $53.30
CO: $55.45
Button: $44.65
SB: $34.95
Hero: $52.35

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with 9 9
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, Hero raises to $3.5, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Button folds, SB calls.

Flop: 2 8 3 ($11.5, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $8.75, UTG+1 calls, SB folds.

Turn: Q ($29, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $2, Hero calls.

River: 7 ($33, 2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $5, Hero calls.

Villain in this hand isn't a regular for all I know. He is 55/0/0.43 after 55 hands. Everyone at the table is playing very passive, with stats like villains. Check/calling turn/river, standard even against a very passive player?

Hand 2:


Ultimate Bet
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25./$0.50.
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $42.80
CO: $76.10
Button: $16.50
SB: $35.65
Hero: $64.85

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is BB with Q K
2 folds, Button raises to $1.75, SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: K 9 9 ($5.25, 3 players)
SB folds, Hero bets $4, Button calls.

Turn: 8 ($13.25, 2 players)
Hero?

Villain recently sat down, so no solid read. Though, he seemed to be agressive. judging from the first 3 orbits he'd played.

Preflop: You ever raise here against an unknown on the button and a calling station in the sb?

Flop: Do you like the lead?

Turn: Bet/calling or Check/Shoving, which do you prefer?

Hand 3:

The converter is acting up:

SB is at seat 2 with $65.65.
BB is at seat 4 with $24.35.
Hero is at seat 5 with $70.75.


Hero: Tc Ah

Pre-flop:

Hero raises to $1.75. SSB calls.
BB calls.

Flop (board: 7s 3s Td):

SB checks. BB bets $3. Hero
raises to $10. SB re-raises to $38.25.
BB folds. Hero folds.

The game broke recently and we are playing 3-handed.

The SB in this hand is a winning regular at $50 NL, his stats are 20/12.5/2.85 over 1600 hands. I haven't played with him a ton, most of the stats comes from data mining.
BB is playing 28/9/1 over 150 hands.

The SB insta pots it after I made the raise, is this a standard fold when we are 130 BBs deep?

Hand 1 is very weird. I hate playing big hands with just 99 OOP and villain's line looks extremely weak with those sized bets. I don't hate check/calling turn, but I think you should lead out at the river. I really don't know what the villain has here, but it looks like it could be a small pair like 44-66?

Hand 2, I probably bet about 7. I hate playing KQo OOP though, and you really don't know where you stand. Villain shows resistance to your donk bet so he could easily have a hand like JK-AK. Play here depends a lot on your villain, and an unknown makes this difficult.

Hand 3 looks like a definite fold. SB check-shoved AFTER BB donk-bet and you reraised. Both you and the BB showed a decent amount of strength and he still pushed. Best case scenario is you are facing something like 89 spades.
