You caught a bad run of cards...

Hand 1:
Pot is microscopic. Check/fold and check/call are valid lines here too. So is going for the river over-call.

Hand 2:
Raise the flop or Turn for value and to see where you're at and set-up a river check if your hand doesn't improve.

Hand 3:
Calling down is fine. No need to over-play your hand against a turn raise from a passive (assume without a read) player

Hand 4:
Well played

Hand 5:
Cry and fold the flop. Or maybe 3-bet in hopes of checking through the next street. If he caps call, then fold the turn without a Queen or diamond. edit: Then again, folding the turn/river might be a bad idea given the pot size...

Hand 4:
Well played

why 3-bet the river? If someone was calling down with the flush draw, you're just paying them off with the raise...

[Fnord]

With 3 to the flop, it's more likely 2 pair than a backdoor flush or backdoor broadway. At worst, I think 3-betting is close.

thanks fnord. still some tightening to do, and i could have done a few things better, but definitely a bad run of cards.

i'm sure liking QQ a lot less in limit than i do in no limit!
