Hand 1:

Pretty standard situation, no read, only stats on villian (30/15/2.67, but thats only after 33 hands, so pretty useless tbh).

Bet/fold turn instead? Am I being pushed out of the put too much by checking here?

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
 Everything seems good to me except the turn in hand 1 (bet and fold to a raise then check-call a non-diamond river) and the fact that you could prob make a thin value-bet on river of hand 3 (fine as played though).

Looks good Robert
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

Hand 1: Bet that turn.. You just gave him a chance to bluff you out. You'd be surprised to see how many people fold turns like this. Bet 2/3 the pot.

Hand 2: Nice hand. That river bet looks like a bluff on his part

Hand 3: Part of me wants to raise/fold that flop. Calling just puts you in a bad position on all following streets. I'm leaning towards folding the flop.

Hand 3:
My sig is too much for you to handle.

looks good overall, I agree with some minor things already mentioned (hand 1 bet/fold is probably better, 2 and 3 are alright).

thought I'd add that I like how you played hand 3 because most of the loose/bad opps I see will just bet the strength of their hand oop which is why I think calling the flop is fine.

Hand 1: I'm leading this turn almost always. I'd call his turn bet and hope he checks behind on river with like AQ-AT, a fair amount of his range.

Hand 2 is ok, folding flop isn't terrible FWIW. RIver looks like he is blocking with an overpair, but he could have 88/99 or any random hand so river call is standard.

Hand 3, I'd raise the flop a decent amount, guess it's ok though.
