Thats really hard to read. Could you use the converter or clean it up youself please.

Hand 1 - I raise that flop more. Something like $3-$4 probably. After that a $15 raise probably wont be an overbet. As played Id probably make it a pot sized second raise.
Turn plays itself.

Hand 2 - With 2 players yet to act on such a coordinated flop im check/folding. Someone could already have a K or they could have a draw and bluff you out later.
I call that turn because of the chance of your flush stacking hish straight.
Unless he thinks your an idiot he wont bet that river without AQ. If he does have AQ hell raise your bet anyway. Make a nice chunky river bet that hell pay off with a 1 card straight. Depending on what you know about him you might think about pushing this river.

Hand 3 - This is entirely read dependent. Its horrible against almost anyone but it might be ok against this guy depending on exactly how much of a maniac he is.

RIPJohnGotti checks, bic_steve bets $2, RIPJohnGotti bets $12, bic_steve bets $20,

If you think he can make this raise with a decent range of hands you beat then go for it. I would probably fold here though.

Hand 4 - Preflop is almost always a fold for me especially wih a maniac to act behind you. Against this guy you want 2 big cards since you have the same chance of taking a stack with an obvious top pair as you do with a hidden straight.
Do people usually call these allin overbets with just a pair where you play? I think against most people this is a great way to win the least/ lose the most.
Also stop playing backwards. You keep betting and raising with middle pair but when you actually have a hand you slowplay it. You need to bet that flop a sensible amount and take it from there.
