HAND 1:
Ugly board for me, and bottom set at that. Was I naively aggressive here? It's a raised pot and only the PF raiser stayed in, which made me more comfortable that I was ahead.

It's tempting to call the flop, but I know FTR advice is going to be to raise the flop. Did I raise too much?

This is not me getting better; this is me learning why 96s is not a good hand to limp in with in a loose table. But after the stupid decision to play it...

 1- Fine
2- Fine .. maybe a couple more bucks but I would probably raise to the pot here as well.
3- Fine
4- I value bet around 1/2 pot.
5- Eh, tough hand to play QQ with. I might fire again on the turn since you pick up an oesd. Just because he called doesn't automatically mean he has a K. I would check behind river as well.
6- I think everything is fine until the river. I am not just calling here. If he has a higher flush then ops. 9 high flush is high enough for me to reraise here with. Maybe if I was sitting with 34s or something.. Also I think this is a great river to check raise. I am trying to add the river check raise to my book and probably would have tried it here.

I disagree with all of this advice. Fold preflop, and don't re-raise the river, you probably won't get called unless he has another flush, and the way the hand played out, he very well might have one. Most of the possible flushes that he could have are better than yours so just call. For these reasons I wouldn't check-raise either, besides with his passive line you don't really have any reason to believe he's going to bet the river anyway.

OP: I don't really like your tiny flop bets in hands 4 and 5, other than that everything looks fine to me.

Please tell me how much you'd bet! And I'm not being a smartass-- I know my betting sucks and post here to ask for advice on that.

In case you were wondering, villain turned over AcTc in hand 6. I probably should've seen that coming since if he's smoothcalling the turn with a naked Ac he's not calling another bet anyway.

Hand 4 was a busted gutshot straight draw with 74o. Not that I had a great read on him, but too many party donks stay in to the river with bottom/middle pair which is why I checked behind.

And hand 1 villain had AQo (no clubs). I added him to my buddy list
