LuckySlevin is an unknown quantity at this point

Just trying to ease myself back into poker having taken a bit of break from grinding, starting afresh and trying to get things done right this time around. I've pulled up four hands from a recent session that I wasn't certain about and would love to know your thoughts on how I played them, thanks.

1. Flop a full house, I checked the turn thinking villain may take another stab, or would possibly catch a flush on the river - not sure if this was the right play or not, his miniscule bet threw me on the turn and I thought he probably had a hand and was trying to extract some value poorly, so decided to re-raise here.

2. AJ on a paired board, my plan was to call and fold to a turn bet.
The open raiser was 52/16 over 50 hands, and the caller was 34/10 over same number. Having doubts in hindsight about if I should be playing this from the blinds.

3. 78(s) from the button, with a flush draw. I thought the donk bet looked really weak and when they both checked behind on the turn I thought there was a fair chance they were chasing a FD or had very mediocre holdings so decided to bet hard knowing I still had a chance of catching my flush on the river.

4. AK misses the flop in position with two callers. Was my Cbet ok? I didn't think he was likely folding to a double barrel after calling the flop c-bet, so didn't double barrel, was that correct? Small bet looked like a value bet to me on the river, holding Ace high, an easy fold?

Hand #1
Preflop is standard

Flop 4-bet is way too small. Just raise all in cause he's not folding and theres a lot of turn cards that could kill our action if he's on a draw or an overpair.

Hand #2
Definitely value bet the river, as these clowns will call you with any ace, JJ/QQ, and likely any ten. Obviously fold if raised.

Hand #3
I prolly limp behind two limpers with 87s but an isolating raise works too. I raise MP2's donk raise just because it looks so weak. As played I probably take a free card on the turn.

Hand #4
I probably check the flop as it hits both villains range pretty hard. Rest of the hand is standard.
