A few hands that I am unsure about.

Not playing terribly well today. I think I have been unlucky in a few spots and that was affecting my game so I have stopped playing and started thinking about the hands that got me into trouble. How do you think I played these hands? Any pointers?

Weird hand. Only have 20 hands on opponents so no reads. Did I play it all right? Should I have been playing this at all from this position?

How well/badly did I play this? Villain has VPIP 16 and PFR 7 over 120 hands. Opponent had 55 so I was beat from the flop. I think the turn shove was a bad idea. Anything I could have done to save myself some $$$$$$$$$?

Villain had VPIP 50 and PFR 14 but only played with him for 28 hands. I think maybe I played this like an idiot and should have dropped it on the flop but the guy was very passive throughout the hand and was a bit of a calling station so I felt as though I was ahead. He had QJo.

Villain is the same as in the last hand (AK). This hand is a bit like the first one. Should I have been playing this in the first place?


Thanks.
