    Default 4 hands - Good or spew?

    first one is bad. you represent absolutely NOTHING. i would fold turn.

    second one is ok, except when opponent usually folds to 2nd barrels and didnt here! turn bet is ok though, i would push a rivered J though

    third one sucks, if u want to bluff just bet the turn strong. check raising when pot is so big to bluff is usually a bad idea unless u have lots of outs

    fourth i probably just shove river myself for value, but once he c/rs its easy call

    Hand 1: no, calling here is fine depending on how aggro he is.
    Hand 2: idk when ur getting a fold here enough unless opp was a huge nit.
    Hand 3: He has a hand taking it all the way too much.
    Hand 4: good
