Looks like he's betting a scare card but not that many people do this. He does seem decently above average so he could make this type of move. I have done similar stuff (not all in for this amount though).

Hand 1: I would have raised this turn, it is hard to tell if his weak bet is a post oak bluff or a if he really has a weak hand. I would raise this turn and fold to a reraise. If he just calls you reraise and the turn doesnt fill you up fold to his big bet.

Hand 2: I really dont like just calling his big reraise. He is a short stack either he has you beat or he doesnt, either push the flop or fold. You have no real redraw so if you think you have him beat reraise if not fold. Personally I fold this hand on the flop to his pot reraise.

Ok, on this one, first, I think it's pretty important to raise strong hands on the button. That's my first critique.

Second, the turn. Well, you obviously could already be behind on the flop, although you do have a 3. But I still bet it to checks. Here, again, in a big pot, I think any 32 still in there would pot it to you or else checkraise (on the flop), and you'd have a much better idea where you stand.

I think I'd raise the small turn bet at pot-size. He has to lay down a flush draw or 67 unless he has both of them. If he re-potted back at me, I'd just lay down, though.

I don't think you can call the river, though, the way the hand plays out.
