Hand #1:

Villian will chase to no end. Anyone fold this river? Push the turn?

Hand #2
I had been raising a lot of pots and taken it down preflop without much resistance. Opponent is passive when it comes to bluffing and overplays single pair.

Hand #3
Villian is an aggressive player whenever he enters the pot. Curious on a safe turn line - I thought i should bet to at least represent the ace so as to see villian's reaction. Should i just check/fold?

Hand #4:
No strong reads on villian who flat-called behind. I wanted to iso the shortstack here and blow out some draws but I ended up getting more action than I wanted and the potsize on the turn is huge. Anyone want to give a better flop-> turn line?

Also, a set hand. Button raiser is solid which is why I thought I had implied. I was going to trap but when there was an additional caller (the CO is the villian from hand #3) I wasn't sure how to act - Do i depend on the tight button to bet again (he might be scared with two callers and check through, no?)
