spoonitnow's hand dump

Today I've been playing around with the idea that I've picked up some passive habits and have been working to DESTROY THEM. I think I might have ended up spewing in some spots, but here goes.
Hand 1: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4457568 - Villain is something like 16/13 over a small sample. I think not long before this it folded to them in the SB or BU and I 3-bet them and they folded. When he just calls the 3-bet, I feel like this centers the PPs of his range around TT or JJ and adds a few other hands like maybe AQ, AJ, KQ or some suited connectors. When he leads the flop for half-pot, I think calling leaves me open for two many scare cards (either for him or myself) which could complicate things when I'm trying to get value from 88-JJ or so. I doubt he's folding many PPs so I try to get it in. He calls leaving about 1/2 pot on the turn. I decide that I doubt he's folding his flush draws since he can justify 3:1 odds to himself since he has the potential overcards as well. He shows AA which I believe is the near-tip of his range after 65s.
Hand 2: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4457596 - The Villain "Dima28" on the end was about 45/10 over about 20 hands when this was played and the other Villain "Toke Blume" was about 24/6 over about 20 hands so not a lot to go by. The flop c-bet may or may not be acceptable, I'm not completely sure. I have blockers to a lot of the likely broadway combinations that would continue, I have position for free cards and such, and I probably have anywhere from 3 to 7 outs on average. Once Villain calls and the 6s comes on the turn, I decide that a second barrel would have a low chance of success since his range consists almost entirely of weak-ish top pairs and second pairs along with straight draws and made flushes. It would be hard to get him to fold most of his range since a lot of his top pairs and second pairs would include one of the As/Qs/Js/Ts which would be enough of an excuse for him to call. When the 8s comes on the river he checks pretty quickly. If we assume he's folding most of his 1-pair hands without a spade then I think the bluff on the river is fine and representative of how I would play a lot of AsXx combinations including AsKx, AsJx, AsTx and As9x. However, combinations including the Qs don't make nearly as much sense as I would tend to check those on the flop unless it was KxQs, so I'm not sure if what I think about his river range is correct. He snaps me off with the Ts.
Hand 3: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4457671 - Villain is about 26/16 over 50 hands with a very low AF on every street for a total AF of about 0.5. After I c-bet the flop and he calls, I figured he could have a good number of Queens, 22/33 for a set, something like 45/64/65 for a straight draw or any of the pocket pairs from 44 to JJ. When he checks the turn, that seems to define his range pretty well as being mostly weak 1-pair or straight-draw hands, none of which hit by the river with the exception of 77 and 88 for sets. At the time I thought a river bet would make sense as how I would play some of my Qx hands, but there's a big problem with that. If I think his range is what I said it was above, then I'm going for three streets of value with Qx since I can safely bet/fold all streets because of his lack of aggression. In addition, I'm not sure I should rely on him thinking I was taking a pot-control line with a Queen. I think the better line would have been to bet the turn planning to set up an all-in on the river (which I think is the most +EV bluff line as well as playing it like I would play the majority of my value range). Here I was snapped off by A2.
Hand 4: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4457707 - Villain is relatively unknown but is 13/9 over a 25-hand sample. Preflop is super standard, and even though seeing a flop 4-way kind of sucks, calling is better than 3-betting especially with the players I have behind me. I pot the flop for value. I think my turn bet-sizing was a small mistake though since he could have a flush draw with the Jack of Spades, though it seems really unlikely. He shows up with AJ and I take it down.
