Hey guys hope things are well with everybody. I am continuing to struggle a little bit and I was hoping to get some more input. Here are a few hands that I was hoping to get some comments on. Mainly trying to minimize loses. Thanks!

Hand 1 - I felt sure at worst we were splitting this pot and more than likely he had a smaller pp. Should I have folded the river?

don't post results. Don't post cards that came after the chips were all in the middle.

stop calling raises with crap cards. Stop open limping. Stop playing bad cards from early position.

1) fold river as played. Think about your flop play, what's your rationale for calling here? Take a note that villain completes TT in sb after limpers. Move on.

2) Raise pre-flop please, only open-limp if you have a plan, and Q9 doesn't come with a plan. As played raise flop.

3) Why on earth are you calling with 8To. Fold pre. Flop raise even harder. Turn push is wtf cos the flush draw hit, check behind (even when i can see from your results that you were in fact ahead)

4) played fine.

don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit
allin, reload, repeat
