100NL, a few river decisions

Hey guys,

I'd appreciate some linechecks on a few of these hands. Thanks!

Hand 1:
-The villain in the first two hands is the same passive villain, who is running at 45/1.82/.85, though over a small sample
-I haven't noticed him making any crazy river calls yet
-Is there any value in a river bet? draws will fold anyhow, and i'm not sure what worse hands are calling. Also, a check raise would make me sick here

CO checks, Hero??


Hand 2:
-Yah I know, I really should have bet this flop. But there were a few aggro players behind me who usually take stabs, so I wanted to let them in. Didn't work well on the flop
-Given how passive villain is, is this a river fold or auto-call?

Hand 3:
-villain is 25/14/4
-This hand isn't overly interesting, though i'm wondering if this is a standard river call or fold. My biggest leak lately has been calling too many decent sized river bets like this one, and losing. So I'm trying to tighten up a bit
-call, since my turn check induced a bet, or fold to his possible flush?

1. Find a bet
2. lol. Id love to call. You know what you did wrong on the flop.
3. Calls, i think.

1) Value bet
2) I dont know, I'd probably lay it down given how passive he is.
3) Callio

Hand 1 and 2 i raise pre and hand 3 i reraise pre.

I agree that Hand 1 I certianly could have raised, and 3 I sometimes re-pop or sometimes call. Villain was raising from EP in hand 3, so I gave him some respect and flat called.

Hand 2, you always raise KQ from the sb? I sometimes raise here, but its not the greatest hand, and we have pretty bad position.

ok.. so I agreed with the value bet. this is what happened:

Flop: :qs: :7c: :qc: ($3.5, 3 players)
BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $3.25, BB folds, CO calls.

Turn: :td: ($10, 2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $7.25, CO calls.

River: :6s: ($24.5, 2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $13.5, CO raises all-in $51.25, Hero vomits and...??

hero got turned, i was tempted to put it in my post but decided against it. Guess opp could have 89clubs as well.

I know you are asking about your river plays, but I really dont like the flot c-bet in hand 3.

Fold it now.
