Hand 1 looks like an obvious turn check.

Hand 2 could go a lot of ways. Reads?

Hand 3 also looks like an easy turn check.

Hand 4 uhh, I think I'm going to say it again: a turn check. I would reraise preflop, too

some of these are tough... i duno about one, putting in a small bet to charge fds or weaker hands and to pick ur SD price doesnt seem bad, but sometimes i ck and either call or fold a non flush river and fold a flush river but betting may be better??

2 I dont like the turn raise, u could get some better hands with no redraw to fold but I dont think that has enough value to account for u getting called by worse hands... keep the pot small here I think

3 id usually ck fold the turn after button calls... I think the value in a bet is mostly tryin to fold out nits who wont call a second barrell but without a read I wouldnt try to ofld a better hand and half pot bet isnt gonna do it most likely anyways, fds just arent enough of his range to bet I dont think and sometimes even when they dont hit they win the pot in position on the river once u show weakness.

4 If i didnt 3bet pre id just float the flop, play for pot control.. ur hands really not that strong vs the range of hands thta will give u continued action (call this flop raise and calldown from there)... and I wouldnt want to try to ofld out better hands here. easy fold as played I think, not sure if we should ck behind hte turn or what??

Hand 1 I check behind on the turn. I'm probably folding to a river bet (unles a J falls).

Hand 2 fold preflop. There's no reason to get involved in this pot in the first place.

Hand 3 you should have raised to $7 preflop. You can check and fold the turn.

Hand 4 you should 3-bet this preflop.

Agree with all this - many of these hands look very "limit-like" putting too much money in on the turn and free showdown raising (not really a good play in either game most times).

hand 1- i check the turn, call a river bet. whether to v-bet river depends on villain

hand2- i dont always call preflop, if i did i would play it the same vs some opponents and just call the turn against tighter opponents

hand3- check/call turn, check/fold river vs most people, unless hes extremely aggro or a huge station

hand4- 3-bet preflop, as played check turn and re-evaluate based on river card/action

H1 - check the flop.
H2 - fold preflop, call or fold turn.
H3 - check/fold turn.
H4 - reraise preflop, check the turn.
