Villian is 10/0/2.0 over 40 hands. Hasn't really done anything to draw any attention to himself. There was obviously some other banter going on. Amirite on this shove?

Here villian is an absolute idiot. He's running 66/5/.07 over 94 hands. He has made some calls that were totally retarded. He is totally oblivious to it as he just doesn't know any better!
The main reason I'm posting this is I suspect I am letting a lot of money go just because I don't have TPTK+.

This last one I don't have the stats on the villians but this really has been on my mind ever since. I was just totally flustered and unsure of what to do: call/fold/shove???

Oh and one more. Neither villian has been crazy both playing around 20/15. I think I played this as well as could be expected? I know as well as AA,KK I could expect similiar move with A8+, K8, 88+. I'd like to think 9T, 59would have been pushed out preflop. Amirite??

1) Turn bet is too small. Obviously he likes his hand, and obviously that's a scare card. Just bet stronger and get it in. Why would you ever want to fold the nuts here when there is good odds, and very small chance you're being free-rolled (for only a couple outs at that).

2) Like $2.50 behind in $4.50 pot? Bet if he makes stupid calls, c/c if he makes stupid bets. Shove river if you check and he checks behind.

3) Eeek. I flat flop. He'll likely define his hands on later streets, and there are a decent number of cards that will give you a cheap showdown which you can take advantage of with position.

Villains don't tend to bet their draws, so best you're hoping for is 8x, 99-JJ, which will not usually bet that strong turn/river.

You do know in hand one you got your money in with the nuts, right? I don't see how you could have played it any other way.
EDIT: Yeah I just noticed turn bet is too small.

Hand 2, maybe bet the turn and rep the ace (not to big though don't want to chase out mid pair type hands). He may call with pocket eights or something if he's as bad as you say he is. He looks like a calling station so just don't bet too big, you can probably either check the river or perhaps throw a small blocker in for value. Just remember if a player that passive raises you're beat.

In hand 3 I like 3-betting a little larger, like .70-.75 or so to take away implied odds from all the in between caller people. With big pairs it's ideal to see a heads-up flop, so when you get a min raise, and then 2-3 callers behind it, you want to really shut them out. Even .90 would probably be good. If someone had AA/KK you would have heard about it so I think we can be confident that we're 3-betting for immense value. Postlfop may not have ended up 3-way if we bet more pre, but TBH that guy flatting your 3-bet and then leading the flop seems a bit fishy. I'd be wary of him slowplaying a bit here. I don't really know what the correct play would be here so I'll leave others to discuss that. Same w/ hand 4, although I think I dump KK here more often than I should, however the texture of the board is just not favourable at all for our hand given the ranges of what your opponents will flat raises with preflop and the shove on top of your raise definately sends of a warning bell.

"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."
