Lost so many times,What is the specific range to resist the 4-bet from the previous position?
Hitting and not hitting a pair postflop, how to handle it better？

WTF is up with all those numbers by the different player positions. Makes the hand irritating to read. The only player that needs an identifier is the hero.

OP, nobody can doubt your enthusiasm but you're not going to learn much spamming 10x hands/day

Try to concentrate on a few spots and getting those HHs right and you'll get more thorough responses

As for this hand: it's a tough spot.

There's a strong likelihood that UTG is trapping so while the call pre is probably ok (we can counter trap KK/QQ and AK with our FD or 2p), and the turn call is unavoidable, folding river is probably much more +EV without a read.

With a read that this guy is a maniac or a whale then it becomes a much better call, but I would err on the safe side until we know. The vast majority of fish are playing face up.

I prefer to bet the flop a little to make your life easier on the following streets. This way we can often play the Bet-Check-Call line.

As played - we have a bluff catcher on the river. Call against an aggressive opponent who can bluff and fold against a passive/straightforward opponent.

I would fold against the unknown.
