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?

Seat #9 is the dealer
Seat 9 - hero ($123.38 in chips)
Seat 1 - HPLEE234 ($71 in chips)
Seat 2 - ETK5 ($24.50 in chips)
Seat 6 - NOODLESMA ($229.62 in chips)

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?

Seat #8 is the dealer
Seat 8 - villain ($110 in chips)
Seat 9 - hero ($99 in chips)
Seat 7 - CALLING PRO ($200.87 in chips)
hero - Posts small blind $1

hero - Raises $5 to $6
CALLING PRO - Folds

hero - Bets $2
villain - Raises $4 to $4
hero - Raises $4 to $6
villain - Calls $2
*** TURN *** [6c 10c Js] [5c]
hero - Bets $4
villain - Raises $8 to $8
hero - Calls $4
*** RIVER *** [6c 10c Js 5c] [6s]
hero - Checks
villain - Checks

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.

Seat 6 - JOHNJH ($26 in chips)
Seat 8 - villain ($118.75 in chips)

Default Re: A few hands that had me scratching my head

hand 1 i usually call the river but when you put him all-in i think that the cap is good

hand 2 i call turn and bet river, he was probebly on a draw and made a semibluff but has a many hands that he still will call with, you are not behind very often here

hand 3 i dont see any reason to not fold to the turn raise, why?

hand 4 calling down may be ok, given your line but preflop is horrible

That was me just mixing up my play. He had already seen me 3 bet preflop in this situation with any ace and pairs 66+. Is it really so wrong to conceal the strength of my hand?
