In order to improve my game, I thought I'd ask for advice on certain hands that should be winners, but are not winning for me. I'm sure I'm misplaying them somehow. The first one is KQo. After 46 instances of this hand, I'm at -0.21 BB/100 with it. These are the five worst ones:

Hand One:

Hand 1: I could just call the flop and raise the turn. The pot is so bloated that I don't see how you're not showing this down.

Hand 2: Big pot, 4 clean outs.

Hand 3: I would lead the flop and hope the CO raises. On the turn I think you can dump this to the SB's check/raise. If he isn't full, then he has at least trips and I hate to draw to second best.

Hand 4: I would say raise pre-flop, but in a retardedly loose/passive game the limp is fine. I like every street.

Hand 5: Looks like the converter f'd this one up.

Yeah, looking at your HHs, you're really going to have to play post-flop poker with these bozos.

I would open-limp these hands from EP in a retardedly loose/passive game:
KQo, AJo, ATo
KJs, QJs, KTs, QTs, JTs, T9s
99-22
ATs-A8s
98s-54s (fold if the game gets loose/aggro)
A7s-A2s (fold if the game gets loose/aggro)

Raise:
AK/AQ
AJs/KQs maybe ATs and KJs
TT+

I'd start throwing in stuff with gaps, etc. for 1 bet from the CO/BN.

I C-Bet here hoping CO will fold or raise his QJ/KJ/AJ here then it plays out differently. I would have liked to get a free river card and stick SB without a checkraise. I think although you have slim outs to call for a gutshot and the pot is big, I would fold this turn as played.

Hand 4: I definately autoraise this preflop but you played it fine postflop.
