    Default 100NL, a few river decisions

    Hey guys,

    I'd appreciate some linechecks on a few of these hands. Thanks!

    Hand 1:
    -The villain in the first two hands is the same passive villain, who is running at 45/1.82/.85, though over a small sample
    -I haven't noticed him making any crazy river calls yet
    -Is there any value in a river bet? draws will fold anyhow, and i'm not sure what worse hands are calling. Also, a check raise would make me sick here

    UTG+1: $126.75
    CO: $62.75

    SB: $105.25
    BB: $118.25

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with
    2 folds, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds, BB checks.

    Flop: ($3.5, 3 players)
    BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $3.25, BB folds, CO calls.

    Turn: ($10, 2 players)
    CO checks, Hero bets $7.25, CO calls.

    River: ($24.5, 2 players)
    CO checks, Hero??


    Hand 2:
    -Yah I know, I really should have bet this flop. But there were a few aggro players behind me who usually take stabs, so I wanted to let them in. Didn't work well on the flop
    -Given how passive villain is, is this a river fold or auto-call?

    Hand 3:
    -villain is 25/14/4
    -This hand isn't overly interesting, though i'm wondering if this is a standard river call or fold. My biggest leak lately has been calling too many decent sized river bets like this one, and losing. So I'm trying to tighten up a bit
    -call, since my turn check induced a bet, or fold to his possible flush?

    1) Value bet
    2) I dont know, I'd probably lay it down given how passive he is.

    I agree that Hand 1 I certianly could have raised, and 3 I sometimes re-pop or sometimes call. Villain was raising from EP in hand 3, so I gave him some respect and flat called.

    Hand 2, you always raise KQ from the sb? I sometimes raise here, but its not the greatest hand, and we have pretty bad position.
