I don't like min-bets. Villain was 50/0/1 over only 25 hands

Blinds: $0.12/$0.25

UTG: $33.22
Hero: $25
MP1: $20.65
MP2: $5.13
MP3: $21.25
CO: $28.03
Button: $10.81

Flop: 3d K♠ Qd ($1)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, Button bets $0.25, SB folds, BB calls, Hero raises to $2, Button calls, BB folds.

Turn: K♥ ($5.25, 2 players)
Hero bets $3, Button raises to $6, Hero folds

HAND 2

No reads other than MP3 was a fish. He was short stacked so I thought he could have pushed the flop with anything. I pushed to force out the BB

Blinds: $0.12/$0.25

Stack sizes:
UTG: $23.39

BB bets $1.25, MP3 raises all-in to $3.31, Hero raises all-in $20.89, BB folds

HAND 3

Too weak? Villain was 41/7/1.2 over 80 hands, I was thinking I didn't beat anything that calls the flop bet other than KQ, but I lose to a set or KJ

Stack sizes:
UTG: $15.24
UTG+1: $26.73

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is UTG+2 with Ad Kd
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to $1.25, MP1 calls, 4 folds, SB calls, 2 folds.

Flop: 5♥ K♣ 6d ($4.25, 3 players)

Turn: J♥ ($10.25, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

River: K♥ ($10.25, 2 players)

HA ND 4:

Villain was pretty solid, I put him on a big pair so I went for stacks on the flop

UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $1, CO folds, Hero calls, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: 7♠ 3♥ 6♠ ($3.62, 3 players)

1. I hate minbets too. However, you're playing against a guy who will play any two and there are two overcards to your pocket pair. Calling might be okay but c/r is IMO not. There is a decent chance that he's caught one of the overs.

You can try leading the flop or else just c/f when you don't hit your set.

2. Your idea of raising the flop is smart, but you should be a bit more careful about the raise size. your push only gets called by hands that have your kings destroyed - you're pushing $20 into a $8 pot.

A possible set line OOP is to donk lead the flop - to induce a raise like you have here. Not to say that a donklead here is always a set, just something to keep in mind.

3. This is a terrrrrrible fold. You're getting a good price to show down a pretty decent hand. When you check behind on the turn (which you should have bet here unless you planned on calling a river bet) you should expect opp to bet into you on the river - by checking the turn after opp has coldcalled your flop bet, it looks like you cbet a flop that you missed and have given up your attempts at the pot after getting called.

Opp could be betting a middle PP like 99 or TT. He may be figuring this: if you missed the flop, didn't particularly like the jack, the river card "didn't help you"...

4. OK. I wouldn't make a habit of calling with 36s though

1. Raise pre-flop. Fold flop.

2. Standard.

3. I don't know how you found a fold on the river here. I'm often betting the turn, but a read is helpful.

4. Fold pre-flop. Flop is good.
