4 hands from session 100 NL

is this spot too thin to bet, or just check behind. I raised because he limps way too much and Ad7d is way ahead of his range.

Do I check behind or shove always here? I'm pretty sure we shove always at 100 NL, but do we still call if he shoves? Villain is just your standard donkey.

Over-played IMHO

Hand 1: I check the river to induce.
Hand 2: Play for stacks here. If I check this turn I would probaby shove. Fail that, I think folding the river is silly.
Hand 3: Bet every street for value. Shoving that river isn't going to inspire worse hands to call.
Hand 4: WTF are you doing here?

1) I like turn and flop, check river to induce as Fnord said.

2) Bet turn if you think he'll call with the A, c/r turn AI if you think he'll bet the A and fail that check/call river because you just induced a bluff.

3) Ya just shove. He's short and will call with an ace.

4) No way. Hardly any better hands fold the turn and no worse hands call.

Note stack sizes.

Hand 4 isn't thin... obv this isn't for value....? Unless you think he's floating a huge amount of his range this is really bad... 65/10 isn't aggro and when he bets the turn it's time to GTFO.

in my defense for hand 4, here a couple hands of his prior, thus making me decide to stack off here. I realize that these hands are not very similar to my hand, but i felt it was enough to know that he was a total retard, and probably would stack off there with a 7 or an underpair, as well as hands that were beating me i.e. 88-AA and a King. I am almost positive he doesn't have a pp that beats me (he does raise his decent hands 10%). I don't think he was floating a queen although I can't rule it out.

Hand 1: he has 4 6 off
Hand 2: he has Ad 6d
Hand 3: (CO is villain) has A 10
Hand 4: villain has 10 10
