4) The thing I don't get is the fact he checked behind on the flop. He's 19/8/2.33 after 75 hands.

1) fold
2) call AI
3) check behind your FD
4) fold

1) I can see where you're coming from, and I think it's pretty close, but I prolly fold. What do you put him on? I'm finding putting him on a range fairly difficult here.
2) Mash the call/AI button really really really quick - even against the extreme worst case scenario where he's got 9hTh you've still got 30% equity.
3) I prolly check behind. If it gets there, I bet it (if he checks) and fold to a shove. If it misses, I prolly check behind or fold for more than 1/3 pot or so.
4) IMO this spot is made disgusting by the fact that you didn't threebet preflop. I prolly fold and feel really horrible about it.

1. shove pre
2. call
3. This is probably a check since ur likely behind and u have a good draw to suck out.
4. shove or fold, probably lean towards fold, pretty marginal spot either way.

hand 1: fold
hand 2: call push.
hand 3: check behind
hand 4: fold as played, but i like a 3-bet pre here especially since you are OOP the whole hand.

Hand 1: I GAMB00L with shortie All-in pre-flop.
Hand 2: Insta-call
Hand 3: Check
Hand 4: Think about what sorts of hands you should be jacking it up to $16 pre-flop with. As played, fold.

1. Bet fold flop if you dont want to get it all in vs possible overpair (in which case you could have shoved pre) as played fold.

2. Call but with 678 and 2 suited cards or 789 & 2 suited is usually the flop that hits the pre-flop raise callers really hard, made straights and big combo draws.
Probably flipping vs his range.

3. Check Behind

4. Call - Even a donk with a set of aces cant not bet that flop with 2 callers, & not a 19/8/2.33
The only thing he's repping on the turn is a set of 4's & those odds are so small (considering he raises 8% tot and its UTG) that I will pay him off.
