Default Downswinging, looking for post flop examination/criticism

Apologies for the long post. I am frustrated and just want to get this posted. Thanks for any and all help.

1.)
villain is fasteddie267 a known winning player at 2/4 probably about 20/15.
I have been floating him with some success and i know he views me as a weak player. I know I should fold preflop here so lets just focus on post flop.

River: ($750) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero ???


4.)
villain is good TAG (19/17/1.8) and I am not sure how to proceed here. I just flat PF b/c anything else would be too strong against him.
I think the flop and turn calls are automatic b/c of the dry board here. I would rather call in poistion b/c a raise only folds out hands I beat.
What the heck do I do on the river ?
Villain is Lyric and I have him at 19/17. my image has to be tight at this point.

1) i doubt he leads into 4 people and 3 barrel as a bluff here.
2) check raise all in on turn sounds fine.
3) easy bet
4) I would prob raise all in turn but arg since u played it that way i prob call

Hand 1) Gotta call down now as played he could value bet worse.

Hand 3) Would either 3 bet or fold pf dont wanna be playing hands like this multi way. As played gotta bet river again unless youve got the nittiest image ever.

Hand 4) Get it in somewhere, I like flop but definitely on turn.

Can you actually fold here? I don't think I could but geez he's donking into 4 guys on a dry board. He's not doing this with QJ or JT ever, so wtf does he have that you beat? I don't know the guy. Against a random calclalcalcclall.

Getting it in here is fine I think. I'd probably just bet the turn, you'd bet if you c/red the flop as a bluff wouldn't you?

If his wtsd is high and he doesn't c/r the river much no I don't think it's too thin he has KT or KJ and calls all day.

That Q is a pretty terrible card, and 19/17/1.8 is way passive man, but geez you're getting a good price. How about shoving turn?

call 1
c/c turn c/r riv in 2 if he's the floaty type. bet turn shove river otherwise
jam river in 3
shove turn in 4 or getting it in this way is also fine

these all seem fairly standard, sounds like you're just running bad

I agree with all of this. I think you're up against a flopped set or AJ in hand 1 a lot though, but given how you got here you gotta call.

hand 1 is gross. i don't think i'd have the discipline to fold but i wouldn't expect to be winning the hand 50% of the time.

hand 2 i occasionally take this line against bad players with monsters but i prefer leading the turn.

hand 3 i think you should jam river and i don't think it's close. he almost never has a hand that has you beat here and he'll be looking you up often with weaker kings.

hand 4 against lyric im doing everything i can to get the money in. i think pushing the turn is best but how you played it im snap calling the river and expecting to win &gt; 75% of the time.

I think you should just fold the flop in Hand 1 because a solid player lead into 3 other people.

Wow everyone is saying this, but I could have QJ or JT (suited) all day here and lead the flop. My hand is a little too good to c/f, but c/c'ing puts me in a very tough spot on the rest of the streets, OOP in a growing pot, with very little info on my opponent's hand. I like leading through him; he can't do much without a hand (unless he's very tough) and it looks pretty strong to the others as well. Especially given the read that OP says Villain has of him, leading with a Jack makes terrific sense, from Villain's perspective.

I think this is one of those spots where worse hands won't call (usually), better hands won't fold, yet it is still right to bet.
