1) I really hate your turn line. If I'm betting this turn, I'm calling a push. If not, then check behind and call a river bet or value-bet if checked to.

2) I'd raise more pf with the 2 limpers, but it's not a big deal. I'd probably fire the turn. I don't think it's that likely he has a flush. Plus if he's fishy, he might slowplay a flush or make a small raise to give you odds to fill up.

3) Obv there are other alternatives to 3-betting flop, but I think I like it in this spot. I'd probably 3-bet a little more and shove the turn tho.

4) Fine.

1) If your read really is that the guy is passive, and he's never put on moves like this before, then it's a difficult, but necessary fold. Villian's line is the definition of a set.

Did hand 1 necessitate hands 2-4 (aggressive on the flop, played back at and then checking down the hand)?

Don't you want to get as much as possible in the pot in hand #2? I understand that anything he would be chasing on the flop he'd have hit, but what if he just had something like 9T? There's more to be gained.

Hand 3: I like the 3-bet flop, but shouldn't you continue the aggression? Otherwise you're begging to be pushed over your next 3-bet, as it just looks like a move. (Even thought the turn/river are both scare cards).

Hand 4: Well done.
