Hand1.

Preflop:
MP (350 good player, took some money from me ) openraises 8, I call on CO with 88 (I have 200), calls BB (100)

Flop (pot 24): 8TQ rainbow,
BB bets 16, MP raises 48, I push
Thoughts?
I felt that cold calling behind is going to scare MP even more than push.

Hand2.

Only 3 orbits, so not much of a read, I raised like 5 times before, and just the previous hand with QQ.
Preflop: UTG(150) raises 4, I (250) make it 15 with KK, he re- raises to 45, I push
Thoughts?

Hand3.

Not much of a read too, but table seems loose.

Preflop:
UTG(80 bad player) lipmps, MP(180) raises 8, I (200) call with ( hoping for a chain reaction and a nice family pot), BB calls, UTG calls.
Flop (pot 32):
BB checks, UTG bets 8, MP raises to 30, I call (I think it is close between calling and raising, MP is likely has an A so no folding equity, and some of the limers can go along improving pot odds)
BB and UTG fold.
Turn (Pot 100):
MP bets 40, I raise to 100
Thoughts?

Thoughs on all streets are welcome.

I think all your plays are by the book.

Hand 1, you make the absolute correct play. Of course that play pretty much says "I have a set of 8s or Ts." BB actually screwed you by betting. Because now you are reraising a raise, showing obvious strength, so MP figures his KK or AA is beat.

Because here's how I read that hand. BB "HAH! I hit TPTK with my AQ. I'm going to bet out. MP "Screw your TPTK, I have an overpair." You "SET! SET! SET!" BB: damn, they can't both be bluffing. I better lay this down. MP: "Well, I told him I had KK and he still pushed. This is tough, but I'm finding a better spot."

Hand 2: I like it. I'm pretty sure he folded.

Hand 3:
I probably fold preflop. But I might play it. As played, I'm not sure about the flop call. You have a bettor, checker, and a rasier in front of you, all still to act again. The fear here is that UTG reraises it to something that gives you bad odds. But in the end I probably make the call just like you did. Turn I don't see what else you can do. You have to protect yourself in case he's got [Qd]. If anything I raise a little bit more. At this point he's either folding or calling, regardless of your bet size. So probably raise to 140-150 -- if he has AT he might come along.
