1. You had the right idea on the flop, give up. I c/f turn, c/f river. As played I think a loose passive is rarely folding to a half-pot bet on the turn so you have to plan to follow up on the river (which I don't really like). The river is a spot where it makes sense for him to bluff, but bad players could bluff with a better hand here. I fold.

2. Yuck. I usually give them credit for KK+ here, but I've seen AK once or twice too. Barely getting set odds if you think he'll stack off every time, so on the off chance he'll do this with less than KK, or he has KK and an ace hits, I fold pre.

3. Man, there has to be value on the river vs. a 25/5/0.4... KQ, QJ, KJ, AK can all get here (AK might fold but the others snap). I think I bet around $400. Getting c/r'ed would be sick but I think you could lay it down.

1. I'm not bluffing here, I'm protecting my hand. His line makes no sense to me at all.

2. Yes, fold pre seems best, but I've seen donks do this with garbage alot.

3. His weird line just convinced me that he has a missed draw or a higher set so I managed screw up the river big time. I couldn't put it together fast enough, so I ran out of time
