hand 1: Well played just a cooler.
hand 2: Again imo i think ur line is fine.
hand 3: Vwp nice hand as well
hand 4: another cooler nothing u cud do.

Well i think u played each hand pretty fine just got sucked out on a few times.

These hands are fine. I might c/c the river in hand 1, but your line is fine too.

Not to just agree with everyone, but I think that's what I'm going to do.

1) Well played. No reason to think you aren't ahead.
2) I might have bet the river w/ 2 pair, but that card is a little scary. I think the c/c is good.
3) I'm always a little afraid to 3 bet with a small pocket pair, but that's b/c I just want to see the flop with them. If he 4 bets, how much do you want to have go in before the flop with 4s? Not saying it was wrong to do that, it's just something that I think about. Otherwise, I think your line was good.
4) Well played, IMO. You got your money in with the best hand as about a 80-85% favorite (assuming my math is right). Not much else you can do there.

The only thing I don't like is raising the flop in the second hand. I'm not sure I see any value in raising there against most people...
