Looking for opinions about a few less ridiculous 2/5 hands

Looking for opinions about a few less ridiculous 2/5 hands

After posting two or three ridiculous hands I played, and getting a little beaten up for how badly I played them, I said I'd try to post some less stupid ones.

Being a man of my word, there were three big hands from last session, where some of the decision points seem debatable, and I'd like to get the crowd's opinions.

2/5. $1k max. 9 handed.

Hero is a 50's WG, playing fairly TAG with occasional LAG adventures. Mostly showing down good hands or getting bluffs through without any real resistance. This was a fairly tough table, but hero was well situated with weaker players to his immediate right, and a calling station on his immediate left.

H1 - Main V in BB is a MAWG. The table only recently opened, so I didn't have much of a read on him, other than he seemed to be playing fairly tight, ABC style poker. We both started the hand around $1k.

Pre - UTG opens to $20, 2 calls, it gets to hero in the CO with 55dh. Hero calls. BTN, SB and V in BB all call. $140 in pot after rake.

Flop - Q82r. Checks to hero, who figures no one is likely to have much of a hand, so hero bets $30. Folds to V in BB, who calls. Everyone else folds. $200 in pot.

Turn - Q82 5, now adding a BDFD. V checks. Hero bets $130. V calls. $460.

River - Q825 low-middling offsuit brick, doesn't complete any obvious / likely draws. V checks.

Hero?

H2 -

V1 / UTG is a late-20's / early 30's WG with throat tatoos, headphones, and a flashy Rolex. Played with him once before. He's very aggro, never limping, and frequently 3B'ing, maybe a little too frequently.

V2 / HJ is a MAWG playing fairly tight / ABC poker on hero's right.

Both V's have around $1k to start the hand. Hero in CO is around $1500.

Pre - V1 opens to $25 UTG. 2 calls, V2 in HJ calls, hero in CO calls with KdQc. BTN and blinds fold. $125 after rake.

Flop - Q-high with two low-middling disconnected cards, rainbow. Don't remember the exact cards. It checks around.

Turn - another low-middling card, but a club, adding a BDFD, but otherwise a total brick. Checks to V2 in HJ who bets $75. Hero min-clicks it to $150. V1 / UTG 3B's to $400, leaving himself about $550 behind. Everyone folds back to hero.

H3 - Main V is a MAAG, playing pretty solid. Haven't seen him get out of line at all. Started the hand around $1500. Hero has around $2500. There are a lot of details about this hand I don't clearly remember. Sorry for the ambiguity here...

Pre - folds to hero in MP/LP, who raises to $25 with JhJd. Next to act is a calling station, so he calls. V1 on his immediate left also calls. Everyone else folds. $75 after rake.

Flop - QJ4tt. Don't remember the suits. Hero bets $50. Both call. $225.

Turn - Qx. Hero bets $135. Next to act folds. V1 calls. $495.

River - low-middling card. Can't remember if the flush came in on turn or river, or if there were four flush cards on board.

Hero?
