    Default played all these sets wrong. how should i have played it?

    300$ buyin (2$-5$ blinds) B&M

    CO is the chip leader at the table. Hero has about 50$ more in the table than BB.


    Hand 1: hero is Qd-Qh in SB
    4 people limp, Hero raises to 20$, 4 people call.

    Flop: Jc-9c-2d
    Hero bets 40$, BB calls, CO calls.

    Turn:Jc-9c-2d-Qc
    Hero bets all in for 150$, BB calls, CO folds

    River: Jc-9c-2d-Qc-5d


    Question 1: after 4 limpers the raise was too little right ? should i have bumped it up to 30 ?

    Question 2: should i have moved all in on the flop ? the flop has flush draws-straight draws. at least bet the pot or maybe 100$. but if i am betting 100$ why not just go all in for 30$ more.

    -------------------------------

    Hero is 3rd biggest stack at the table. SB is 2nd biggest stack.
    Hand 2: Hero is 5-5 in BB.
    4 people limp, SB raises to 10, Hero calls, everyone calls.

    Flop: 3-5-9 (suit not important)
    SB bets 15, Hero calls, everyone folds [ i smooth called hoping to push on the turn if its still multiway]

    Turn: 3-5-9-6
    SB bets 15, Hero raises to 60$, SB calls. [ I am putting SB on AK, AQ some big pair because he raised from SB. I am just starting out i should have thought that since he raised little, he would be more likely to have smaller pp than bigger pp....]

    River: 3-5-9-6-7
    SB checks, Hero bets 100, SB calls


    Question 3: raise the flop to 40 ??

    Question 4: push the turn ? he raised only little so maybe he has a little pp compared to bigger pp ??

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Hand 3:
    Hero is 3rd biggest stack at table with 500$ in chips. UTG+2 and SB both are chip leaders and cover me by many times.

    Hero is 4-4 in BB.
    5 people limp, hero checks.

    Flop: 4c-9c-6d
    hero bets 20, 4 people call.

    turn: 4c-9c-6d-Qs
    Hero makes all in motion without verbalizing, floor is called and floor rules that its a check. check around.

    River:4c-9c-6d-Qs-5d
    Hero pushes all in for 500$ like a DONKASTIC FISH, UTG+2 calls.

    Question 5: pushing the turn is right ? pot is already 85$ or bet like 200??

    Question 6: bet 200 on river ?? or push ??

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Please help me guys. I never had to pay so much in "tuition fees" in Limit School. Seems like I am having to pay through the nose in tuition in No-Limit school.

    Hand1: With QQ you want to thin the field to hopefully one caller, the raise amount that accomplishes that depends on the specific table, but you may have raised a little too little preflop.
    On the flop you got a pretty good board in the sense that there is no A,K or mid-high paired board, but it is still a dangerous board with decent str8 and flush draws. flush draw is much more likely then str8.
    With 5 people seeing the flop you need to deny pot odds for draws, the pot is 100, I would bet at least 100. I want to end the hand right here.
    The turn is a tricky card for you, if someone called with a flush draw you are way behind, but you cannot let someone get a free card, so push and hope that nobody has a flsuh made.

    Hand#2 I think you played it fine, except for the river bet, I would just check the river

    Hand#3 - 5 people seeing the flop without a PFR means you are facing pretty random hands, you need to bet enough on the flop so that only someone who has a piece of the flop will stick around, the amount depends on the specific table, but apperntly 20 was waaaay to little.
    The turn is where you blew it on technicalility, I dont think AI is the correct move, since your stack is significally larger then the pot, I would bet agressively, probably in the 200-300 area

    Hand 1 - Stack sizes? Raise more PF. Don't push when straight and flush draws complete.
    Hand 2 - Stack sizes? Raise flop. Check river.
    Hand 3 - No need to overbet usually. Just bet about the pot on turn. Bet 1/2 on river.
