For Hand 1, I raised the flop b/c thats pretty standard in this situation. Test if he's cbetting and I have equity if my straight hits. We both checked the turn and he checked the river, which leads me to believe he's either on AK/AQ or an under pair. I have already done an excellent job of representing AJ/KJ on the flop and then checking the turn b/c the 10 may scare me. Villain is solid TAG(20/19/2.0 over 107 sample size). Is the river push excessive or a reasonable play given my read?

Hand 2

Reasonable continuation bet even though I'm OOP. Flop is very dry and I can represent a King assuming others miss this 3 outer.

Hand 4

Here's the last hand in the series. PERFECT example of how to top off a terrible running session which only lasted 45 minutes. I could not continue to play after this hand and losing 3 buyins overall.
