hand 1
dumping on the flop for a raise would not have been horrible. then again, you have a backdoor nut flush draw AND a backdoor nut low draw with a bunch of showdown monkeys in the pot, so calling the flop probably wasn't bad either. once you see the turn, chasing for a bet and a raise without closing the action is probably a bit loose. it's close in terms of EV given that you could expect a lot of action from a lot of people on the river (implied odds), but that assumes that you're not chopping.
you'd look like a genius if the low had hit.
if you want to avoid variance, then dumping on the flop is probably best, with dumping on the turn without a double low-flush draw on the river running a close second.
hand 2
fold on the river for one bet? heeeeee haaaaaaw.
that being said, no shame letting this one go a bit earlier.
hand 3
this is tricky, but if you think you're playing with donks, i think you have to get as many bets in as possible on every street if the hand is not HU. these guys definitely look like they're willing to show down less than the nuts, and you end up leaving too much on the table if you worry too much about getting quartered. be careful with the solid players, and jamming is probably not the best in a three-way pot at higher levels, but i think you shouldn't be ashamed of taking what they give you.
hand 4
yeah, i think the dump was in order. you had eight outs to the take half the pot, but you were probably going to need to put in three more BBs to see the river. see ya.
interesting hands.
