#2 villian was loose calling in position and got lucky several times before with junk. shoulda have folded the turn, since his calling range includes QT, T9, KJ and maybe even J8s, right?

Hand 1: I'd lead fold the flop, I'd also fold after your c/r.
Hand 2: "villian was loose calling in position "Very gross, fold the turn. As played fold river.
Hand 3: Easy check, what's going to call that you beat?
Hand 4: I tend to try to induce bluffs because I don't think either player has a hand that they'll call a river bet with.

1) lead/fold or check/call maybe. Without reads, FTP 50NL re-raises preflop are rare enough to be AA/KK/AK exclusively.
2) Funny cause I played 2 hands vs. KK today, QJo ant TJo. 1st I flopped TP after villian limp-reraised pre- picked up a f/d on turn and stacked myself (although I did have 14 outs). 1nd I flopped the nuts and stacked villain. Hard to fold to the m/r on the turn here, but probably correct. When the ace rivers and he bets small.... I almost wonder if you can't shove him off, but on the bright side, you can fold without letting him know you can lay down KK.

3) I usually just give up here. Sometimes I be pot on the river and try to get a fold from JX/TT. Odd for him to go for a c/r with a flush.

4) is interesting because it's 3 way. 3-way is going to cut down bluffs... but the hands that would call a bet, KX, 9x might bet anyway. I really don't want to call a big bet (even if it's often a bluff) with KJ. I think I just bet 1/2 pot, or less even.
