Just wanted to get some input on a few hands from an earlier session today. I definitely know I'm spewing and leaving extra bets on the table. I gotta work on picking my spots better.

Hand #1 - Pf: sometimes I fold, sometimes i raise; just sat down. The button flatcall on flop scared me. Can I fold on turn? And he fired another barrel on river, so i folded.

Hand #2 - Terrible flop. I have to put someone on an ace here. The flush draw comes on turn and I take one off and fold the blank river. Standard?

Hand #3 - SB was TAG and I had been raising a lot from CO/Butt. I put him on mid 9 on flop. I 3bet flop and check turn to represent a flush draw and was hoping to be bet into on river if it *missed*, but ace came and he wussed out.

Hand #4 - I'm 50/50 on raising this in the CO, but I had been a bit overzealous lately so I limped. After 3bet, I put him on possible 2pair, or KT and down (KQ+ would pfr.). I planned to call down. But he checked river so I threw a thin value bet.

Hand #5 - SB is taggish but seemed to be defending his blinds vs. me a bit too much. He had c/rd me a few times and I had folded to no improvement on turn, but this time I decided to mix it up. But he kept firing... Am I just spewing here?

Hand #6 - Pf plan was call and lead all flops. Button had been raising all flops with MP and up and was used to me 3-betting with same. Very aggressive. Maybe I should've led turn and river to get him in calldown mode?

Hand #7 - Table was passive preflop and my UTG and MP raises were winning the blinds a lot. MP was passive and could have Ax/Tx so I kinda wusssd out on turn and river. Valuebet anywhere?

Don't take this personally, but I got three hands into this post and it seemed like a clinic in playing terrible poker. Here are a few comments:

Folding before the flop in hand one is just insane. I would also definitely see a showdown with this hand against an unknown.

On hand two, you must bet this flop. And folding the river is just terrible.

On hand three, that turn check is awful.

No offense as well, but I thought you would've figured out most of these plays at $3/6. In the hand with KQ, i'd definately call the river, how often will trip aces be checked around in $5/10 6m? Also trying to represent a flush draw when you had a pair of Q with K kicker to induce a bluff makes absolutely no sense in my opinion. ATs hand definately looks like spewing.

Awesome. Please no more replies to this thread. I have things to think about. I suck period. I guess I really need to help myself if there's going to be any progress.

Hands 4 and 7 are okay. The rest are grossly misplayed on at least one street. It looks like you have some work to do before you are ready for 5/10 6-max.

Best of luck.

Edit: If you post here in the future, please follow the 1 hand/post rule.
