1. I would mx it up between 3b ing and calling preflop in this situation agaisnt an unknown. Think 3b is fine though.Flop cbet looks pretty big on that board. Its the sort of board where you will get raised or called very often. I like 10-11 better. After getting such a big bet called i wouldnt barrel the turn and give up unimproved.

2. There isnt much u beat after getting raised. You are up against four players oop with one pair. THe only ace u beat is A 10 and its unlikely such a nit is gonna raise that against an utg opener. In the best case you are against some sort of combo draw, and oop its gonna be really tough to play. I think you can call the min raise and reaval turn. GOnna have to fold a lot of turns depending on sizing and the turn card.

3. I think this one is ok. Looks like he was trying to get funky with kq-kj or something. he could have an eight here but i dont know why he wouldnt jam river if he did after u called the turn raise. I would call because of the amazing price you are getting.

4. EZ c/f IMO. I kinda like ur 4bet preflop since ur oop.

1. I'd call the river because every draw in the world missed and he doesn't necessarily c/r the flop since he looks a little passive. Previous streets are more interesting and I think I check back the flop most of the time because he hits this flop a ton, we have SD value and good BD draws and I'm not confident in trying to barrel this guy off anything if I start aggression with a flop cbet.

2. Fold. You showed all the strength in the world and he still raises and he's a nit anyway.

3. It's pretty gay getting min-raised on that turn but I guess for these bet sizes I don't mind calling down.

4. c/f the board is all over his range

 Hand 1: Default I wouldn't 3bet pre here. I think your better off checking behind the flop here or betting smaller.

Hand 2: fold

Hand 3: fold turn

Hand 4: I'd just check/fold.

griffey24 is on a distinguished road
 Hand 1
-I'd call this river when everything in life bricked and you need to only be ahead like 23%

Hand 2
-I'm tempted to peel this flop. Lots of bad players minraise flops with top pair hands

Hand 3
-turn minraise is the nutss. Fold.

Hand 4
-c/f for sure

 I don't get betting $14 on hand 4. I suppose if we thought he had AQ/KQ everytime preflop and knew he'd fold to a shove if we bet $14 and shoved turn on any non J or Q turn we would want to do this...

 whoa-ace queen, king queen..youre giving him a lot of credit. why cant he have 96s? im going to want to bet here like 90%+ of the time so why would i ever want to check with this hand if he is competent at postflop poker?
