We are not your coach, we don't have to review your stats and all your hands. You can't post 4 hands without help the other posts.

This forum can help you but you have to help this forum too.

1) If you call the turn you have to call most rivers. The 6 is a good card imo because he don't have a hit a pair on the turn and we have outs against 4x. If I have no read on his donk I call down to get informations.

2) Looks fine, against more agressive player I check the turn.

3) Calling the river is spew. 3 bet pf, you have prolly an equity edge against CO and this hand would have been easier to play.

4) Just call down from the flop. You save bets when you are behind and utg+1 3 barrel bluffs often, so you win more money with a passive line.

#1 - I'd muck the turn, you see a 1card gutshot occasionally but not enough.
#2 - Fine
#3 - awful river call.
#4 - OK I guess

1) folding the flop is best imo. tiny pot and that board hits most open limping ranges hard
2) fine
3) 3bet pre, fold river
4) call flop

-1 This is a donkable flop, I'd peel and fold the turn U/I should villain bet again. Many people donk these flops hoping you'll fold after a steal attempt. Since he's a (passive?) fish, giving him the benefit of the doubt and folding the flop might be fine too as it's a small pot.

-2 I play it the same against a post-flop passive fish.

-3 You need to 3-bet this and push out the BB (he folded anyway, but most won't). You probably have excellent equity against his range and you'll improve your fold equity and maybe get some Ax hands to fold the flop or turn. River is an easy fold.

-4 raising the flop charges [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]draws but folds out bluffs you're ahead of and lets a villain with trips 3-bet you. I'd call and call down depending upon my read. If the river is a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] you'll have a decision to make.
