These are just some hands that I found interesting and wanted opinions on the best way to play them. All comments are welcome.

Hand #1: http://www.pokerhand.org/?632300
Eliminate the third raise here preflop? I figured it might help me get a better idea of what he had, so I wouldn't lose a ton of chips if the flop came rags.

Hand #2: http://www.pokerhand.org/?632265
I know there is nothing ever wrong with winning a big pot, however, did I pull the trigger too soon here? Should I have just smooth called turn to get the rest of their stacks on the river? I was scared of a suckout pretty much... take the risk to win more or pull the pot down as it is?

Hand #3: http://www.pokerhand.org/?632245
Another tough spot on the river, got reraised... call or fold?

Hand #4: http://www.pokerhand.org/?632107
This might be really weak.. but those minraises preflop scare me. I was convinced I was beat.. he may have a set, or AA. Fold or keep calling him down?

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

My god do people suck at poker.

Hand 1: I don't like the pre-flop re-raise. Once he re-pops you I like to take it to the flop.
Hand 2: It's fine, although it's pretty clear that they're drawing pretty much dead, hence I might jerk them around a bit more. Min-raise the turn and stick the rest in on the river. Or call and donk the river. If someone has a straight draw and gets there, good for him.
Hand 3: Learn to hit the fucking breaks once you get going. It's so stupid easy to exploit when playing you TAggs. Turn is an easy check unless your opponent is stupid. If he's loose a check/call might keep the pot under control and induce a bluff. Also it sends a signal that checking the turn after betting the flop doesn't mean you intend to fold.
Hand 4: Not much to say without a read. Sometimes I just fold this pre-flop given how weak/tight many unknown player's 3-bet ranges are. However, 3-way and suited I can see calling. Post-flop is just hard out of position against his range. Leading the flop is a line to consider, but yours is fine. Sucks that you're folding to another AK here sometimes.

hand 2: suck out what? maybe make it 100 more to go so one of them will call but generally it is ok.

hand 3: i would have a hard time folding that

hand 4: i would fold also. looks like a set, or AA. at best its a push
