Hand 3: Villain is 56/4/5.4- 84 hand sample

This hand appears very standard but may be a spot where some low limit grinders get owned.

Button ($151.62)SB ($559)BB ($106)Hero ($390.82)MP ($41.83)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with Qc, Qs. Hero raises to $8, 3 folds, BB calls $6.
Flop: ($17) Jh, Jd, 9h (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets $12, BB calls $12.
To check call the flop he can have a pretty wide range, Jx, 9x XXh and a combo of straight draws.

Turn: ($41) 6h (2 players)BB checks, Hero checks.

The turn completes a draw and he checks. Betting here is a sin, especially because of stack size. It is rare villain calls with worse on this turn and checking will get me value on the river from those hands. Also if villain check raises I have to fold everytime. betting is spew in our opinion.
River: ($41) 4c (2 players)BB bets $14, Hero calls $14.
River is an easy call. way to extract max value donk, LOL.

Final Pot: $69
Results below: BB has Jc 9s (full house, jacks full of nines). Hero has Qc Qs (two pair, queens and jacks). Outcome: BB wins $69.
