I think you should break these up to get more specific analysis on each hand.I looked over the hands and generally speaking I think you should really work on your betting size. In hand 2 it looks like you missed an opportunity to stack someone because you failed to build the pot quick enough by mini-raising. Aside from that, in hand 3 I like your play up until the river. If your opponent is an aggressive and tricky player, this is a perfect opportunity to check and let them bluff. Otherwise, I'd probably just shove it all in.

Hand 1: Bet more on the turn, bet on the river.Hand 2: Raise all-in on the turn. Most of the time, a player who re-raises in a micro-limit game would definitely call this.Hand 3: Nicely done. An all-in bet is a nice idea, especially if your opponent has you covered.Hand 4: Should have been folded. Got lucky on the river.
