Default How badly did I screw up on these?

Hi folks,

Last night was my first attempt at the 1/2 tables. I noticed that there were an awful lot of aggressive bluffs, any sign of weakness was pounced on. Is this par for the course on the 1/2 tables?

Anyhow, on to the hand histories:

1) Other than the obvious mistake of slowplaying the flush on the turn.

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MP3 posts a blind of $1.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 (poster) checks, CO folds, Button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players) </font>
Hero bets, BB raises, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG+1 folds.

River: (8.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero checks, MP2 bets, Hero raises, MP2 3-bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 14.50 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows 8d Kd (flush, king high).
MP2 shows 9h 5s (full house, fives full of nines).
Outcome: MP2 wins 14.50 BB. </font>

2) An hour or so later at a different table. I learned my lesson from the last hand and don't slowplay the flush.

BB bets, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>

River: (11.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>

Final Pot: 13.75 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows 8h 8s (full house, eights full of tens).
Hero shows Ad Qd (flush, ace high).
Outcome: BB wins 13.75 BB. </font>

3) Yet another table, no clear reads. This guy just confused me, couldn't figure out for the life of me what he had. I was thinking it was a bluff at first.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero raises, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.

Flop: (9.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, CO folds.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
Hero bets, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises, Hero calls.

River: (10.25 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero bets, UTG+2 raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 14.25 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows Ac Td (two pair, tens and nines).
UTG+2 shows 3s 3d (full house, threes full of nines).
Outcome: UTG+2 wins 14.25 BB. </font>

Hind-sight being 20/20, I see the following mistakes:

1) slowplayed the flush, got crushed
3) UTG raise was foolish

Thanks in advance for your help.
