Hand 4: So the HU dynamic was really passive, lots of limp pots or minraises with minbets on flop. so SB betting here is exceptional. Usually he would check or bet 200, or bluf with a 400 bet. Then on the turn he bets 600. Almost first time that he increases his bets on later streets. usually bets the same every street. So to me this is either a shove or a fold. On this case I fold since the only reasonable hand he has here where he does this seems 56 67 A6 of diamonds

Hand 5: Same situation, villain raises on the river. Slow played A doesnt seem likely, unless its a A2o, Still believe this is more a bluf than a value bet. Should I have called?

Hand 6: Turn check is pot control, he could have a K in his hands, but more likely seems to call with lots of combinations of 8s and 7s. Would the call here be GTO?

Hand 7: Would you have bet on the river? Seems to me that any A could either call of shove for split pot, making calling with the 4 difficult. Villain calls with medium pairs up to JJ instead of 3-betting pre.

Hand 8: Just for brags. But would like to talk about his reraise on the turn. Way to little to bluf us out with any decent hand. I min-rereraised expecting him to either shove or min-reraise again with an A high flush draw. However can't know for sure why he just called and then bets 1 BB on the river. Seems like a bad trap.

Hand 9: UTG limp should be a decent hand. K certainly connects with that position. Only calls untill river and bets half sized pot. Can I find any call here with the 2nd J on the river? Seems that any Kx would check or bet something along the lines of 350, larger bet seems more bluf or KJ or JT
