I think MicroPoster needs to loosen up. I sense some weak-tightishness, yes! I love that word.
Here's what I would do different:
3: Bet the flop
9: Limp pf
19: Raise pf
34: Limp pf
40: Raise pf
46: Raise pf
49: Bet the flop
51: Bet the turn, two overs are probably good + gut shot
53: Bet the flop
66: Limp pf
68: I complete A9o here but play carefully when I flop an Ace
71: Bet the flop, could have the best hand, bet the turn if a blank falls, fold to a raise.
85: I cc on the button here, with position I like this hand.
86: I'm tempted to see the turn with overs + bdfd +bdsd, though that may be too loose considering you're not closing.
100: Don't bet the turn
It seems that you are waiting for hands to come to you instead of being the aggressor. The trick is to find the right balance between tight and loose. Too tight and that's weak, too loose and that's spewy. By raising pf you can sometimes win pots you wouldn't win if you limped, or folded! That's pretty obvious but if I had to guess I'd say your vpip is on the low side. Not sure if my suggestions are spot on but that's my take on your sesh. Good luck MicroPoster!
