    Default please review couple of BIG pots i played 1-2 nl on stars

    Any comments on these hands would be appreciated I want to get some advice on how to handle big pots in the same scenario.
    hand 1:
    villain was multitabler and had stats: 20.5/15.8/7 (flop aggression factor) over 200 hands. was it instant fold to river push?

    MP1 ($198)
    MP2 ($197)
    CO ($211.85)
    Button ($197)
    Hero ($255.10)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 7, 8.
    UTG calls $2, 5 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($6) 7, 2, 3 (3 players)
    Hero bets $5, BB folds, UTG raises to $20, Hero calls $15.

    Hero bets $35, UTG calls $35.

    River: ($116) K (2 players)
    Hero bets $75, UTG raises to $253.2, Hero ?.


    hand 2: villain was a tight pfr with stats: 10.7/8.9 over 57 hands.
    It seemed like folding to his huge river bet was no-brainer though, so what do you folks think is the optimal line i should take on my part???

    hand 3: villian had good stats (16.3/9.7/4) over 500 hands. Should i bet huge on the turn instead of pot control and instantly push over on the river without thinking twice?

    hand 4: The button was a huge donk calling down with weak pair, any drawing hand and some other crap. Also, another opponent had stats(16.2/9.5/2). So i decided to shove all-in on the turn to protect my big overpairs. Was it way too much to shove in such a big pot?

    Stop betting like a scared little girl.

    Hand 1: Cry
    Hand 2: I tell him thanks for the money and go all-in on the flop. Fail that, I would fold. Either way, I'm not playing a turn.
    Hand 3: ALL-IN ALL-IN ALL-IN
    Hand 4: Standard.

    Hand 1 : That's a snap call for me. villain is repping a set
    Hand 2 : Good fold, I think possibly fold the turn.
    Hand 3: I shove the river, I think villain has AK
    Hand 4: Feels more like a sick spot to me. I'm not sure what to do.

    yeah, i just learned to be a cowboy .
    Surely hand 2 was too weak . When this guy donked into me on the flop, i should've put him on some range like 88-JJ, AKs. Against this range, my QQ has 63.594% pot equity till showdown. AA or KK wouldn't bet that weak,right?

    actually, i didn't notice he limped into the pot UTG coz i thought he was in big blind as played.There's huge difference beween UTG and big blind calling & raising range considering that he had 9.4% pfr( it just made sense that 99,TT,AA,KK 55 all crushed KK and checkraised me on the flop if he called my raise from blinds). As played, i had sick feeling and wanted to call and reevaluate on the turn when i put him in big blind. Definitely, i should've bet huge on the turn denying his freaking drawing odds immediately.

    hand 3: do you honestly think he had AK considering that he just limped in the pot UTG?

    No, I probably got lost somewhere inbetween flipping back to the hand and the reply QJ seems much more likely now since it got posted.
