Okay technically 3...All pretty standard hands, nothing spectacular, just trying to get the basics ironed out


Hand One -

Small stakes one...is it okay to try and represent the ace in a 3-way pot here? No reads on either player. Perhaps this is only a heads up play, or should I just give up anyway?

Hand 3 - This was me value betting, but on reflection perhaps it's too thin? I would often check behind here, but thought a ten would lead.
