Still have a lot to learn : QTs x 2

[GuyOnTilt]

Both these hands took place at a 15/30 table online.

Hand 1:

This is my 2nd hand at the table, and I've only played with 2 of these players before. Both are loose/aggressive preflop, and loose/passive postflop. I'm in the SB and am dealt Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. It's folded to an MP open-limper, Button limps, I complete. BB (one of the knowns) raises, we all call. 4 to the flop for 8 SB's.

Flop comes: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet to limit the field. BB raises as planned and the others fold. I 3-bet, BB calls. Headsup for 7 BB's.

Turn comes: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img][A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]

I bet, BB calls.

River comes: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img][7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]

I don't think he's laying down any Ace or KK, so I check hoping to get it checked through. He bets, I fold.

Hand 2:

Two hands later, I'm in the CO with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Two folds to an EMP open-limper, MP1 (the other known) limps, MP2 limps. One fold, and I raise. BB calls, and limpers call. 5 to the flop for 10 SB's.

Flop comes: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB bets, EMP calls, MP1 raises, MP2 folds. Bleh. I think about it and hate all of my options, so I arbitrarily choose to 3-bet, bet the turn, and check the river. BB semi-cold-calls, EMP folds, MP1 calls. 3 to the turn for 10 BB's.

Turn comes: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img][Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]

Both check and I bet. BB check-raises, and MP1 3-bets. Bleh again. I muck.

So tell me where I screwed up and why. I'm not comfortable with how I played either of these hands, and I felt pretty crappy about both. Results to follow.

Any and all comments are appreciated.
