Another 2 I wasn't sure about

Hand 3:
Villains stats are 40/28/2.33/63 so at least LAG preflop, but not a big sample size. I have no reads that he is spewy. Comments on all streets are appreciated.

Hand 4:
Villain stats are 21/15/2/214 and seemed solid.
What in general does villains turn c/c mean? Is river player dependent or usually +EV?
Also I think betsizing could be better?

Hand #3, I fold. If that is a non straight completing spade I might call quite a bit. If he is overbet bluffing the str8 at these levels he is spewing a lot of coin. Most people just don't see them.

Hand #4, I don't know, I don't really like it. Couple questions: What does he min raise pre? What was your image? What are you repping on the flop? Would you play it like that with those turn/river cards? I think you get looked up here a lot by a thinking player w/ a King. With the lack of thinking players at 25NL you probably can push most Kings off their hand. That doesn't mean I think it's good though.

Silly, thanks for your responses so far.

Hand 4 my image was nitty and solid postflop, didn't pull any big moves until the hand.
I would play flop and turn the same with sets and flush (draw). River I would valuebet as well with both, but not that big. Therefor I am questioning my betsize.

Extra; if a blank hits turn and I have a 8cTc do I bet or check behind? With what river plan?

3: Fold, if he was bluffing note him up and gg him.
4: His c/c either means Ac or a fucking idiot with a king, normally the latter. Don't bother bluffing river, fucking idiots don't fold top pair.

If a blank turn peels, I check behind. You have your free card now take it. You'll still get paid handsomely by most K's and you get less money in bad. I just don't think he's folding his hand given his line. Of course I got to see his turn action, but my advice remains the same. You bought your free card, now take it since you really only have 9 outs.

Fearing a straight here is pretty paranoid. I do agree it's probably a fold though. I'd be more afraid of A5. His line thus far isn't looking to commit you, I would think his turn bet would be larger instead of just shoving the river. Without knowing him though I guess I fold.

Hand #4 just give up, I lost so much money at 25NL trying to rep flushes. If you wanted to rep it your turn bet should have been bigger and you should have shoved the river. That's such a big bluff to run though when the guy is just going to end up calling you with QQ.
