I bet all of these flops.
i like c-bets. You obviously don't.

it's difficult to comment on the river spots, cos i would rarely (if ever) end up in these situations

i normally make more money this way from snapping off bluffs. The drawback is that you dont know where you stand at on these tricky rivers when opponents show some strength vs your medicre hands.

bet flop, check turn, check-snap river does the same thing

Yah pokerfan I've taken a lot of similar lines to yours and I NEVER find I like them, because I get myself into a lot of tough spots.

Hands 1 and 2 are close.
There are lots of reasons for the donk to bet the way he did, most of them beat you but he's giving you a great price. Meh.
Hand 2 I think he's usually good. He's not calling preflop with many hands that should be semibluffing on the turn, and his bets look like they're for value, even though he knows you're tight. Ughhh, but the way you played underreps your hand and you do have a tight/foldy image IMO so he could be trying to push you off so you might want to fold, but jesus dude, lead somewhere.

I'm snapfolding hand 3.

Hand 1 if you don't cbet then c/f flop.
Hand 2, close. If he's really straightforward then fold, if he's tricky then call.
Hand 3 snapfold

hand 1: id probs just check fold, or c bet/give up if called, i wouldnt check call down.

hand 2: I dont mind checking back this flop, seems fine to me, Im calling both his turn and river bets.

hand 3: Also agree on not c betting this flop, calling the turn is fine but rivers an ez fold.
