noob stud hi hand questions

[aaron7484]

i've started playing considerably more hands after reading 7CSFTAP (finished the section on loose games earlier this afternoon; these hands were played shortly thereafter). but i fear too often i play mediocre hands too aggressively for such low limits: i don't know when to slow down & sometimes semibluff too much into large pots. any comments on my play in these hands would be appreciated. the hand converter didn't work for me (not mac / safari friendly?) they are all from PokerRoom.com, $1-2 with a .10 ante and .50 bring-in.

1st hand: I would probably just fold this with the three overcards to act behind you and you don't have much of a kicker either. Fold here and wait for a better chance.

2nd hand: I think you played it fine

3rd hand: Looks fine to me. I like the check raise on fifth to try and build a bigger pot.

I play mainly 8/b so take this FWIW.
