Meh, lost 9 buyins at NL100 the last two days - normally I'm pretty confident in my own abilities in poker, but right now my confidence is pretty shattered and I'm contemplating about taking a break for a while.

Anyways, played a couple of "interesting" hands that I wanted you guys to review.

Hand 1:

Opp is unknown, but I havent really noticed him in any hands at the 2 orbits he's been at the table. Original preflop reraise is pretty bad and aggro overall, so thats why I reraised.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($134.80)
MP ($83.80)
CO ($55)
Hero ($91.81)
SB ($66)
BB ($235.95)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A

, J

. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, CO raises to $4, Hero raises to $12, SB (poster) calls $11.50, 1 fold, UTG folds, MP folds, CO calls $8.

Flop: ($39) 2

, A

, 3

(3 players)
SB calls $65.50 (All-In), CO folds, Hero calls $54.

Turn: ($158.50) J

(2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($158.50) 4

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $158.50

Hand 2:

Standard situation, reraised pot w/ KK and an ace on the flop. Normally when checked to in position I check behind (I still remember gabes golden thread in the SnG about this situation that was a real openeyer for a lot of ppl including myself). But now I'm OOP and I'm up against someone who seems pretty laggy, and I just end up checkfolding because I figure Ax fills up a large part of his range and because my hand cant stand a lot of pressure on later streets OOP against an aggro opponent.

BB ($305.34)
UTG ($152)
MP ($100)
CO ($230.69)
Button ($96.65)
Hero ($104.05)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K

, K

. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
2 folds, CO raises to $4, 1 fold, Hero (poster) raises to $13.5, 1 fold, CO calls $10.

Flop: ($29) A

, 3

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $14, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $43

Hand 3:

Normally I raise this river, but even though opp is pretty loose, he's also very passive and havent been raising at all in 5-6 orbits I've been playing with him. So when he raises my riverbet, I cant put him on a hand that I beat and that he raises my riverbet with, so I decide just to call. In retrospect I think I lost a lot of value by just calling - so should I raise and if yes, how much?

I like the way you played all these hands except the first one. Preflop is fine with your read but it got cold called which is a bad sign usually. And with SB going all-in and you hold only TPGK with no flush outs I give it to him. You have $12 invested, I don't like playing big pot with marginal hands against unknowns.
