After reading most of SSH and becoming inspired, I'm going to be playing the PartyPoker .5/1 game until my bankroll is $1000. But, naturally, since I haven't played LHE in a long time, I assume some of the following hands were badly played, please review them!! Thanks in advance.

Hand 1:

UTG+2 here is very loose passive, 80/2 (VP$IP and PFR), and a total AF of 0.2. MP1 is new to the table. Cap the flop and 3-bet the river?

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, K.
1 fold, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 3 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 9, 3, 9 (5 players)
UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Turn: (6.75 BB) 9 (5 players)
UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, UTG+2 raises, MP1 3-bets, MP2 folds, Hero calls, UTG+2 caps, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

River: (18.75 BB) J (4 players)
UTG+2 bets, MP1 raises, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls.

Final Pot: 24.75 BB


Hand 2:

SB is borderline LAggy - 30/8, hunt_dog is 47/8, both decent hand samples. Is this standard?

Final Pot: 11 BB


Hand 3:

Button is 29/12... very much LAggy. How bad did I play this?!?!

Preflop: Hero is CO with 8, 8.
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, Hero calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) 7, 7, 6 (6 players)
SB checks, BB bets, UTG calls, MP2 folds, Hero raises, Button 3-bets, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

River: (9 BB) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11 BB


Hand 4:

SB is 22/5. Bad PFR here? Too aggressive post flop?

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7, 8.
5 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB calls, 1 fold.

River: (8.50 BB) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

Final Pot: 10.50 BB


Hand 5:

UTG+1 is super LAggy, betting down anything he raises preflop with, I think my hand could well be good here, but was I too aggressive in raising the flop and turn? Also, was the CCPF bad?

1: you got no resistance preflop and on the flop; I'm not feelin' AA or a 9 here so i 3bet river [edit] already having second thoughts. ick. can't tell if you're behind or ahead, i guess go for the overcall (i.e. what you did)
2: I didn't like it at first but can't think of anything i'd change
3: two alternative ideas ... a) cap the flop, raise the turn, rep the 7 I don't think he has it b) cap the flop then call down, or raise if cards <8 continue to appear
4: bad PFR. You isolating here or what?
5: cold call w/AJo is bad, even against this guy. This is not how you punish him. PF raise or fold. What has he been doing with preflop resistance? autocap?

(NB: just my thoughts, may not be correct play, YMMV)

hand 1: this is very ugly. UTG+2 is very LP? the best spot to reluctantly fold is on the turn after MP1 3bets. you have to fold this river tho.

hand 2: looks good

hand 3: looks good

hand 4: looks good

hand 5: fold preflop or 3bet.

It is my experience that donks that are loose-passive tend to overvalue their hands anyway

I'd 3-bet the river
I just don't see quads here
MAYBE aces since some people limp/call aces

hand 5 SSH says 3-bet

Hand 5 is an easy pre-flop 3-bet. You probably have LAgg beat, have position and your hand gains value if you can get out the blinds.
