Re: how do you play these hands?
Hand 1: It looks good to me.
Hand 2: I'm not crazy about the turn check-behind, but I guess it worked, so long as BB didn't whiff on a turn checkraise with a straight or a set.
Hand 3: I would probably checkraise the flop instead of the turn, particularly since there are two broadway cards on the board and a third player in. However, it does look like your plan was successful, though it's possible you bullied MP1 into just calling you down with, say, AQ or another KQ.
Hand 4: After your stab on the flop didn't quite work, I would consider giving up on the turn if I didn't improve. Or maybe I'd fire again, hoping to drive out 88 or something. It would sort of depend on the table. And I don't know the Paradise 2/4 game, so it's hard for me to comment on this one.
Anyway, though, you did improve, and I like a bet-fold turn plan.
I guess I'd probably call the bet on the river, but I wouldn't be so happy about it. I'm concerned about a weak ace here.
A read on UTG+1 would help.
