Getting Away From Losing Hands
 

I've only played about 3K hands 6 max so I'm still trying to plug leaks. I'm finding it hard to get away from hands I would routinely dump in full games, in large part to the higher aggression levels at 6 max. Especially 2nd. pair good or top kicker situations. I know I misplayed this hand, I'm not sure how early I should have dumped it. Should I have folded on the turn raise or taken the card and then folded the river?

Easy turn fold.

On the turn, if you are beat you are drawing nearly dead.
Is MP superaggressive that will bluff this turn over 30% of the time? If MP is an average player, you will lose this hand enough times that calling 2 more bets for a showdown is too expensive.
This is why you usually bet this turn instead of check-calling. It costs almost one less BB if you are beat.
