Re: Another 4XX hands, another -102BB. Once again I seek help.
Hand 1: Good hand. You must call the river. It was a good card for you! Why would you ever think of folding 2-pair on a non flush/straight board HU in a blind stealing battle?
Hand 2: Not check/raising this turn is a very very large error. In fact an error that can cost you 2-4 BB most the time. This Villain is saying to you let's go to war. The goal in your mind should be to collect 6-8 on the turn and river total. It should go something like this Hero checks, Villain bets, hero raises, villain raises, hero raises, Villain calls. Turn card- hero bets, villain raises, hero can now call for fear of it getting capped. Villain will show you 5x, JJ-AA, or a flush way too often not to play this hand like this. Flush's are big hands HU.
Hand 3: Quite honestly man, I think raising the river is better than folding but calling is optimal.
Hand 4: Given that your up against two LAGs who probably have a very wide raise/3bet/cap range, I think check/calling down from the turn in this monster pot if I'm not calling two bets on any street is best. We're potentially getting 15:1 on the turn to call for a set! We're not closing the action but I wouldn't fear it getting raised too much. If it gets check/raised by CO, I fold the river UI.
