First hand, after he calls the turn raise I think you need to get ready to fold this hand. I know the donk bet by him on the river is tempting to come over the top but he's called down the whole way... he probably won't stop now.

Second hand, I probably take the free card after the board pairs on the turn. See what the river card is and his action and re-evaluate.

Third hand, that fold is fine. Flush got there, straight draw is now on board and you have one pair, no heart. Hurts to fold these hands but I think it's the right move.

Hand #1 give up when he calls your flop bet.

#1: Turn bet is ok...it's nice to have a read on what his tard bets mean. From a lot of donks that bet means a weak king. Just call the river. The only thing you fold out is the flush draw, and if that is what he has, A high beats him. You are getting like 20-1 to call.

#2

Raise the flop more. That's a flop you want to get it in on. Make it 5 to go. As played, turn is fine.

#3: Bet less on the flop. In RR pots, betting the full pot is not optimal because it allows your opponents to play closer to perfect against you.

My standard c-bet in a RR pot is 2/3. Also, this guy is a nitfish. When he calls pre, he either has you crushed or he's set mining like 95% of the time. Bet the flop and if he doesn't fold, try to get to showdown cheaply (he might be looking you up w/ an unimproved PP).
