I usually shove in this case, you have a good chance to beat any overpair, top pair or a set 🙂 and shove generates the best fold equity 😂😅

In AJ I would bet half pot or so on river. I think betting turn 3way would be pretty thin but when it gets checked to river I think there is some value in betting.

In A9s you dont have that many value hands to x-r. Mainly just sets I suppose. So I would mainly just x-c though its not bad to raise this one either sometimes blocking AA, AJ and having good equity versus villain range. If raising ok size would be to 6-7$ or so versus this small cbet. Shoving make no sense really. Would you also shove hand like 77 or JJ?

Hand 1: With no Info you only have thin valuebet on the River. But I wouldn't bet here since we are 3way. HU we should thou.
Hand2: I am with Samo here, x/r and shoving is ok.

OOPS
Rookie posts two hands in one thread.

OK good
I did x/r this to about 3/4 pot and he folded.

Question: To balance this, I should also be x/r with bottom or middle set?
Top set I think I'd rather slow play it and just flat -- or no?

Yup sound reasonable. If you never raise sets then you probably wont have any value hands. But as said if our value combos are only sets its not great spot to be raising much as semibluff.

I think you played it well mp can have 33 AA QQ AQ and be slow playing AK that is ahead first thoughts was i want to bet turn.But i think that just sets you up for some really awkward river spots as you have to check the river to mp so i think playing like you did was he best line.You could definitely squeeze pre as well to pick up the dead money in the pot $2.05 to be gained uncontested possibly.

On the the first hand see nothing wrong, you have only a top pair in a three way pot.

On the second hand, shoving $36 in a $6 pot doesn't makes sense since it will be called by any made set. At that time your opponent has his made hand, and ten outs to a full or quads.
I would call or make a 3/4 re raise on the flop.
