I don't really know what's going on in limit poker, but here are 3 hands I played....
I know people don't like multiple hands in same thread, but I have a feeling these hands are all pretty basic.

hand 1: villain is very loose preflop and I got into call down mode (opens 95o etc). This seems awful. It felt like turn was a fold, but not sure, it probalby is. Can I call down here if no spade hits?

hand 2: I can't tell if I'm spewing or not...I tend to get really results oriented in my self-analysis. This hand river feels like a bet for some reason. I can't tell if I should just call down and bet when checked to or not? I don't really know what to do as an alternate line here.

____________________________________________
hand 3: this hand happened RIGHT after hand 2, and none of the villains have ever played with me before. They might interpret my flop raise as weaker since I waited for turn to raise mid pair on last hand. This river felt like a bet, but I chickened out and I decided to check, is that okay?
