Do you see why this is the "consensus" though? What made others come to this conclusion and you did not?

Fwiw, on hand number 2, I wouldn't fold the turn for the price you are given. But raising is certainly bad. This is either a call or fold on the turn. Can you tell me why raising is bad?

On hand number 3, I'm with whoever said that they don't like the limp. Open-limping is generally going to be a less than ideal play. I can think of a few reasons, but the major reason being:

Against a competent opponent your range is going to fairly easy to identify. A general open limping range will include alot of small-mid pocketpairs, suited connectors, and other suited "big" cards that can make strong flushes. These are hands that individuals realize can make very strong hands, but are relatively weak right now. Only way to combat being put on this range would be to balance your open limping range by limping things like big pairs, etc., and tbh this is going to be the least profitable way to play those type hands. So just save yourself the trouble, and improve your game, and do not open limp (unless you know it is a more profitable way to play a hand in the games you play). Save the open limps for when you misclick.

In hand 3, I would likely fold in HJ (MP3 here) the majority of the time with A7s. But, depending on table conditions, I will probably open it some % of the time. From CO, I would be opening A7s more frequently than folding it, and I would open nearly always on the BU.

As played, flop and turn are okay, although you could have profitably played it more aggressively and got it in early I believe. On the river, I would bet a bit larger to something like $0.90 or so without reads.
