Ok, by no means I'm an expert, but I will give this one a try...

Hand 1: Hero sticks it all-in. I think it is far more likely that op holds 2-pair here than a higher set or 10J (he holds 10J of spades, but you filled up? :)). Off course, if opp is very passive and only likes to felt nut hands, then this becomes more of a fold, although I probably wouldn't lay it down...

Hand 2: Make a decent raise to about 11 or 12 and stick it AI on the turn regardless (maybe check behind if you get the chance to when a third flush card falls? But then what on the river if he sticks it AI and you didn't fill up?)

Hand 3: I fold here. I think a set or 2-pair are both very likely (unless opp is a complete, 'TPTK is nuts' kind of fish).

Hand 4: Tough spot. What do you know about opp.? How likely is he to bluff or 'value bet' a pair/2-pair here? Against a passive player I think this is a fold with not much invested, otherwise you could think about calling here... (though it looks like a fishy flush line, anxious to know what other people think about this one).

Hope this helps.

Need stack sizes for hand 3 but I just shove over the minraise unless you're deep.

1. Shove. We ahve a set, if he 4 outered us meh, buthes much more likely to have some top two/two pair combo.

2. Dunno, tricky for value. If i think UTG+1 is calling then i push, otherwise its a call and all in on any but a spade turn.

3. bet $9 fold to a raise. He could have Kx as much as KQ or a set in these games IMO. Could have JT but does it play like this?

4. Betting here on flop is bad, soooo many hands look you up, calling a river is even worse.

1. Push.

2. I like to push this at my stakes b/c so many people push flush draws here that you get calls from AQ. Not sure if it's the same at 25NL. If average villain doesn't lead out a flush draw like this then I don't mind a flat call and turn bet or raise.

3. I probably go broke here. Bet turn, call a raise without a read.

4. Bad flop to c-bet. River is a fold, unless villain is spewy.

Are you guys seriously folding a straight on the river in hand 4?

1 is a pretty easy push IMO
2 I like a flop push too...looks bluffy/drawy and likely to get looked up by aggro types. If you are up against a nit, I wouldn't push though.
3 I probably lead turn. Likely go broke
4 I think a river call is read dependent. Flop cbet is bad, but turn check shows weakness. He can bet missed draws here all day.......
