Hand 1: How do you approach this against a 40% stack here and what if he was on the button?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($50)
UTG ($52.30)
MP ($97.50)
CO ($150.64)
Button ($0.90)
SB ($20.19)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3, 3. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
4 folds, SB (poster) raises to $1.75, Hero...

Hand 2: This guy is a 60/0/.6 player and it seems like this is an easy laydown but should I fold TT-AA here? Obv in this hand I'm checking behind the river if he just calls the turn. This is an easy laydown, right?

Hand 3: Basic call or fold situation. I imagine I'm ahead more often than not.

Hand 4: I raise this after a limper >80% of the time but this was an exception. The raiser in this hand is a borderline maniac at 90/40. Is this an easy laydown or should I take one off?

1- all 3 options are viable
2- yea, fold small overpairs too, but it really depends on how many hands he has had those stats.
3-i call, short stacks are stupid
4- looks like he has AA. i would call and try to improve and stack him.

1. I probably call for set value here, I think you're getting about the right implied odds here. Let me put it this way, at worst you are making a small mistake by calling.

2. I'm checking the turn here usually, as played it's a fold.

3. Board is somewhat draw heavy so I call this overbet and expect to be good a lot here.

4. Definitely a fold, you're 10 percent to improve on the turn, but another 9 probably scares him and if you make two pair on the turn it's easily counterfieted if he has an overpair.
