H1 your 3bet is far too small, I suspect we are supposed to check. The big bet on flop is OK, but the turn card is not good for your and or your range. With no club and no diamond you could check turn. Unfortunate runout in general.

H2, you must be kidding me, now your 3bet is very big. UTG is the tightest position, if you 3bet to 10.5BB you will face a very strong range (in theory). Never folding on the flop with the flush draw out there, I'm just getting it in.

H3 you could check flop multiway and out of position. BTN calls a bet on the flop when you bet into 2 opponents and then a big bet on the turn. With the Ad you might want to block river, in case they have a stubborn 9 or TT, JJ they incorrectly flatted preflop. But I guess c/f is OK also, or just better.

H4 again 3bet too small. This is not your flop, but CO missed it (they would have no 22 or 33 if you did 3bet bigger preflop). I would check or bet big, I think we are floated too wide when we bet small and our hand is not ideal. But surely my logic is flawed (betting bigger because our hand is weak seems stupid).

H5 CO's lead on the K is incredibly bad, you could have bluffed this card but now you have a very easy decision. OK, maybe they have 56 and they owned us, but it's doubtul
