    Default 2nl. A bluff, and a couple thin value spots

    Hand 1- Villain is 33/24 over 46 hands. I have not seen him show down much but I have been paying attention to him and his post flop activeness has been noted. Preflop, his range is obviously wide: 22-TT and a host of SCs and broadway combos.

    On the flop its a standard c bet for me and tbh I was just going to fire 3 barrels on this board since his range is so weak pre and most of it should not be able to stand the pressure. I was not surprised by his flop raise, and immediately decided his range was polarized to Ax and air. My hand is one of the worst to 3 bet bluff with here, but the price I was getting on my bluff was ridic and I'm confident the play is +EV. Thoughts? How is my sizing?

    Hand 2: Villain is 20/0 over only 5 hands. I'm auto labeling him as a fish due to stack size, the utg limp etc. Easy flop C bet for me, hes peeling any pair and any heart. On turn I feel he never folds Tx or any heart so it is a clear v bet.
    On the river, I have a weird decision because I think I could either c/f c/c or shove. In the end, I decided that I would not be able to fold to this player if I checked and he shoved, and I still thought he would not fold any heart or Tx hand but maybe that is a bit optimistic?

    Hand 3: Villain is a 57/7 fish. On the flop, I am getting value from any PP,7x,89,JTetc and random crap that he does not want to fold. The turn, his calling range does not change much and it is a clear value bet. River, I debated about another v bet here for a few seconds but I just didn't feel like it would be too profitable. I think it is close either way. How is my line? Would anyone prefer a check flop, bet turn bet river? Who v bets the river as played?
