Some hands (6.50)

[DetroitHusling101]

Heres 4 hands where i feel i pretty much butchered.

Hand 1: Turn???? Checking here ugly? Should we bet with our overpair+NFD or peel a free card? Wanted to try and keep the pot small. Valuebet the river? Thinking back i should have checked river? JJ-KK wouldn't play like this so i really am not sure what worse will call me here.

Hand 1 (AA) - I bet the turn for sure and call a push. Why do you want to keep the pot small when you have a big pot hand (overpair plus NFD)? As played, I think check/calling the river is probably better, but I would have hoped to be AI on the turn.

Hand 2 (KK) - I bet the turn for 500 and call a push. Again you have a monster overpair plus second nut flush draw. I don't understand checking behind here at all. As played, I flat call the river bet too and I would expect to be ahead a good proportion of the time.

Hand 3 (K2s) - I check the river every time. Pretty much only hands that beat you will call if you bet.

Hand 4 (QQ) - yeah, 500 would be better preflop but meh. Personally I just open shove the flop rather than betting. As played, you obviously have to get it all in here.
