Good fold? I'm weary of flopped flushes these days as they seem to be biting me in the butt lately. Also the chance of limper with Ax, didn't want to risk it
Also, is a standard continuation bet of about half the pot still effective on a flop like that? Not sure if I should have come out stronger, or what.
This next hand might have been a risky play, but i felt a solid read on the villain. He had acquired most of his chips a few hands ago and was pretty much on a power trip since. Prolly should have pushed all in on the flop raise instead of what I did.

Got sucked out on in this hand, not sure if call was great though. Player has been a complete donk throughout.

Hand 1: Raise higher pre-flop. That 60 chip raise was very weak. You could have kept an Ax hand out of there all together. As for if it was a good lay down or not. I feel it was. Personally I might even put villian on a 35 and he just hit a straight. Who knows for sure what he had. But a raise pre-flop of 4-5xBB might have kept him from even seeing the flop.
Hand 2: Risky but a very good read on another player.
Hand 3: Suck out is the right word. He pushed with a bad hand and you were smart enough to call him on it. Tough break that he sucked out.
Hand 4: Stay out of pots with Axo hands and you won't find this a tough descision..  . Seriously I will hardly ever touch an Ax hand untill it get down to 3 or 4 players. Axs is another story though. I can see why he pushed on that flop. He only needed one more card to make a nut flush. Still risky on his part to make a drastic push like that. If you had AQ or even a Qx hand and he didn't hit another card to make the flush, he would have been finished.

He raised it 90 more to 120, 4XBB...

It was four handed...small blind limped to him, he's got position. Nothing wrong raising with A9 here.
Generally helps to read the hands before you reply with advice about them.
Things look alright save hand 3. Fold. Far too much to call with a speculative hand. In spite of his donk-ness, he could still very well be pushing AJ+, unless he's pushed a lot and you really thought he had crap.
