 Same as last time, playing WCOOP sats so this is just filling my screen.

Opp seems decent enough for these stakes, is 3betting enough to keep me honest, but hasnt really played back at me after a flop. I think he'd hold his own in a bigger game to be honest.
has forced me to fire a couple 2nd barrels with trash on good boards, and folded when i c/c a flop donked a turn and potted a river with a missed draw.

hand 1.
Because he hasnt played back at me much post flop, i wanted to muck the turn, but my hand is pretty strong for these stakes so i decide to stick with it and call anything on river (including flush)
Also, this is the first time he limped (i thought a misclick when i saw it)
Muck turn/shove turn?

Hand 2.
Quite early on again. by this time its clear that when i escalate the pot size hes not wanting to play. When hes tried to make it big ive mucked.
Call down mode here? Im pretty sure hes value-towning me a lot here when he thinks i have a small pocket or thinks he can push me out

hand 3.

Toughest. In bigger games id bet shove this turn as i have lots of equity against made hands and ill fold out lots of possibly better showdown hands.
however, my gut told me not to shove here so i call. When i catch the river and the straight missed i wanted to lead thinking hed snap call any pair but decided to c/r to really make it look bluffy (also felt if he had a heart combo he wasnt folding) out thinking myself against a semi-decent microplayer who its just easier to valuetown?
