Yuck. ok, this is pretty bad. In fact, looking at it again I realise that it's worse than bad... Excuse is that I'd taken a full-stack badbeat moments earlier on another table. Poor excuse I know...

Suggestions?

My thoughts:
pre-flop. Cold-calling vs 3-betting isn't completely terrible
flop. I gotta lead out here - but bet size is horrible. Should be at least 75% pot. That board is super draw-heavy and I might not be behind yet.
turn. Think I have to lead again. or? but not $0.40, more like $2, then fold to the re-raise.
River. Pretty sure I'm behind, not much to do here but check-fold right? if range is AA, AK, KK, AQ then I'm way, way behind.

Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed)

MP1 ($9.80)
MP2 ($2.90)
MP3 ($6.09)
CO ($17.92)
Button ($27.95)
Hero ($9.85)
BB ($8.81)
UTG ($2.03)
UTG+1 ($11.70)

Preflop: Hero is SB with [Qh], [Qd].
5 folds, CO raises to $0.6, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.55, 1 fold.

Flop: ($1.30) [Tc], [Kc], [8d] (2 players)
Hero bets $0.4, CO calls $0.40.

Turn: ($2.10) [Jd] (2 players)
Hero bets $0.3, CO raises to $1.5, Hero calls $1.20.

River: ($5.10) [2d] (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.5, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $6.60

allin, reload, repeat

Preflop is gross. Sure there are times you should call preflop but against a position raise isn't one of those times.
As you said the flop bet should be bigger.
The turn is very close because you could make a losing straight with the 9 but w/e.
River was easy.

Reraise preflop, bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot on flop, and if you're going to fire a second barrel (which is questionable IMO), fold to a reraise.

<SrslySirius> Hal Lubarsky, my nemesis.
<SaltLick> are you seriously losing to a blind guy

You are OOP...re-raise 4x preflop, cbet flop and fold to any raise or heavy turn action.
