These hands are all from the same session at the same table. The player immediately to my right is VPIP=29%, PF raise 18% over 72 hands according to PT. He's raised limpers with small pp, big aces, and 2 picture cards. Some hands are pretty basic flop folds but those are the ones I may be ignoring too much so a little comment on those would be helpful.

Hand 1
Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, J.
3 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 raises, Hero calls, 2 folds, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) J, 7, 5 (5 players)
BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets, Hero raises, BB folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls.

Turn: (7.25 BB) T (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls.

River: (9.25 BB) A (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets, MP3 raises, Hero 3-bets, MP3 caps, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 17.25 BB.

Do you Reraise AJs preflop here?
Through the hand I was thinking he had AK/AQ offsuit or of diamonds or AT/Ax of diamonds or AJ. I considered KQ but I'm thinking that big aces might pull a CR on the river (and this is Party, so Ax might do that also) and I didn't think KQ raises PF in MP with limpers in already (if my thinking here is flawed, please correct me).

Hand 2
Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, Q.
1 folds, UTG+1 raises, 7 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 7, 4, A (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 2.75 BB.

Small pot, no read on the villain, I believe his A, maybe he's got KK or QQ. No reason to draw for a draw here, right?

Hand 3
Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with T, J.
UTG calls, 6 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (3.00 SB) 4, A, Q (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn: (2.50 BB) 3 (2 players)
SB checks, UTG bets, SB folds.

Final Pot: 3.50 BB.

Hand 4
Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (9 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 6, 6.
1 folds, UTG+1 calls, 1 folds, Hero calls, 1 folds, CO checks, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6.00 SB) 3, 9, 4 (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: (4.00 BB) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB folds.

Final Pot: 5.00 BB.

Raise PF here or fold PF here with only 1 limper before me? I'm wondering if I'm too passive with middle/small PPand leaking money hoping to flop sets?

Hand 5
Party Poker 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T, A.
4 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, Button calls, 1 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 3, 9, T (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB calls.

Turn: (4.75 BB) J (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB calls.

River: (7.75 BB) Q (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, Button bets, BB folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 9.75 BB.

I hate these boards. Did I miss a bet or make a bad river call? I figure I'm beat, but getting 8:75:1 to call.

Hand 1: nothing wrong here. If you wanted to be the aggressor in the hand, you could've 3 bet preflop. Nothing wrong with your post flop play.

Hand 2: easy fold.

Hand 3: ? I'm not sure what you're asking here. Easy fold pf.

Hand 4: I usually raise here preflop. It's all up to you. Playing 66 purely for set value is -EV in LHE i believe.

Hand 5: I think the check-call on the river is the way to go with 2 overcards out there.
