3 marginal hands

So after a 100BB downswing session of 763 hands. I was reviewing my play and trying to look for errors. I looked through all the hands where I had my largest losses.

For the most part, it appears as if there wasn't much I could have done, but I'd probably attribute a loss of 20BB out of 100 due to my own playing errors.

I haven't looked at my winners yet but I need to. Anyways heres three hands I found where my errors weren't glaring and I thought they might need discussion.

Hand 1: The PF call was due to most of the callers being the fish at the table. I figured the call out of BB was ok with so many limpers. The PF raiser was also loose (~40%). I think I held onto this for way too long. I have a hard time putting a pack of loose players on hands.

It scrambles my radar even more because some of them go nuts with hands that don't warrant it and some bet draws like they're pocket aces. One, maybe 2 I can deal with but a pack tends to confuse me.

I continued in this hand because the pot got to be large. I do think I would have folded the river had I not caught my two pair because I figured my aces with 6 kicker were no good on the turn.

Its marginal but I'm sure I made errors in this hand.
