Default A few hands that had me scratching my head

Hand 1: Villain just sat down so no reads on him. What do you put him on here? Do you play it differently?

Hand 2: Villain plays very strangely, but very poorly post flop. He is 55/7/1.14 after 104 hands. Is this turn call standard? What do you do when he checks the river?

Hand 3: Villain is very solid, but perhaps a bit tight(for a 4 handed game). 22/15/2.6 after 274 hands. I tried to donk the flush. Do I fold to this turn raise?

Hand 4: Same villain as hand 3. I figure I am ahead of most of his raising range. This is pretty early in the session, about when I noticed how aggressive he is. I am calling down both for information and because I believe I could easily have the best hand.
