1. Fold Preflop
2. Fold Preflop
3. Fold Preflop
4. This hand is good, maybe bet a little less on the turn. I personally like to bet the flop when I make strong hands because I find it disguises them, but I like this too.
5. tough out of position. i'm probably check/folding this hand, but if you wanna make a play at it i think that's ok. bet more on the turn.
6. good god raise more preflop! especially in a room full of people who are calling like that! and bet the flop! if you're 10xBB or less push.

Thnx Greedo, anyone else care to take a look?

1: fold preflop
2: fold preflop
3: fold preflop
5: check/fold the flop, easy fold on the turn
6: raise WAY MORE, QQ is the last hand you want to minraise with, so vulnerable

1. Fold pre-flop. Hand could be playable in late position, but definitely not under the gun.
2. Fold pre-flop. When you decided to play the hand, I personally would have fired again on the turn instead of checking behind if you have a good read on the guy that he is not a check-raiser. IMHO his call either said, "I am on a draw," "I have an ace with a crappy kicker," or "I am a slow-playing a monster." I think the chance of "C" was low, and you could have found out real quick by firing out a bigger turn bet. Basically you gave up the hand after the flop, unless a club came. I dunno, you have position...use it! But ideally, don't put yourself in that situation....fold preflop!
3. Fold-preflop, although I personally have an affection for the suited gappers. However, you usually need a few people in the pot to make them profitable. I notice you have a nasty habit of limping in pre-flop. It's tough, but usually when you are the first in the pot, put in a raise. Especially when you are in early position, you are not going to have an advantage during the rest of the hand. Give yourself at least the advantage of being able to fire out a continuation bet by raising pre-flop.
4. Okay, though you might want to fire out a smallish bet on the flop. Based on the previous hands, these people will call a flop bet with any old crap, so why not get a little more money in there?
5. I would bet a little more on the flop. Baby flushes are vulnerable, you probably don't want him seeing another card. If he had the Ace high flush draw, he was probably coming anyway, but don't make it so cheap for him to do so.
6. Definitely raise more pre-flop. With a vulnerable pocket pair, you want the flop action to be heads-up....Given the way you did play it, when the King comes on the flop, I think you made the right move by check folding.

Just saw this bit at the top. My comments:

You played a lot of speculative hands in the short stack, like suited gappers, Kxs.....These hands are not going to hit most of the time. When they don't hit, you have one way of winning the hand: aggression! Save yourself the money by not playing them if you don't want to be aggressive, unless you have odds to play them, and even then, only play in LP.

Regarding your tight table image...I would be shocked if anybody noticed you were tight. Take it from someone who used to disbelieve this..."I can't believe they are calling me down with mid-pair!!! Can't they see I haven't played a hand in 3 orbits!!!" They don't have a freaking clue. They'll notice if you're a maniac. Not if you're tight.

Im pretty sure that my problem is post-flop, if my probe bet on the flop gets called, I usually check/fold on the turn/river hence losing the hand to somebody with nothing.
An A or a K on the flop scare me when I hold QQ, and when I bet more preflop with QQ I usually either lose to a K or an A, or have everybody fold. :(
Im scared of raising too much pre-flop with medium hands because of my poor post-flop skills.
Most of the hands that I posted were played in order to throw others off my scent making them think I play kinda loose so that they will call my monsters, the thing is, no monsters came apart from the trip 4s.
