looks fine to me, all you have is a straight draw. at best your up against a set, so im fine with it.

Looks very standard to me, all you have is a OESD

+backdoor flush draw + overpair + position, stack sizes are critical here, if the push was close to all in I might play or if a lot was left I might call, if it was a $400 stack typical to this kinda game online then I'd aggree with the fold.

i think u have 35/40% against many hands and if u fold overpairs often it might be a semibluff?

fully standard. best case scenario, villain is betting something like 689T, which you are a coinflip with. Sometimes villain is betting perhaps QQT9 or QQ78 or other hands that you're dominating but most villains are checkraising either big semibluffs ~ hands you are coinflipping, big made hands like top set which have you down to 60/40 or even worse if he has redraws, or obv the nut straight which has you screwed. The biggest problem IMO is that presumably you have some money behind (how much?) and you don't know what cards you need to hit. A ten could be disastrous for you if villain ever plays 9TJx. Even if you hit a king you can probably take it to the felt but it's not a nice spot.
