Some of them are probably horrible, there's too many for me to post all villain stats, but I'll dig em out on request

Hand 1: Fold preflop unless Villain is a big fat fish. Fold preflop again. As played, what the fuck are you doing raising the flop? You represent nothing (not even sets would play this way).
Hand 2: Pre is fine. Post-flop is spew out the ass city, population: you. If you're going to do this kind of thing, you need to pick hands that have more equity on the flop and turn.
Hand 3: Entire hand is fine except where you don't actually put him quite all-in on the flop and look like a retard.
Hand 4: I'd need stats to comment on this one. It can be really good or really bad.
Hand 5: I don't get the benefit of raising the flop if you're not going to try to get it in when you get check/raised. If an A or K comes, it hurts your action against hands you beat and puts you in a situation where you're almost surely beat if he puts more money in.
Hand 6: If you're willing to get it in pre-flop, then you should be willing to get it in on this flop, so w/e.
Hand 7: The call pre seems bad. You flopped the world though and have to get it in.
Hand 8: Fold pre. As played, get it in on the flop.

1: Agreed, put this one so you get an idea of where I am at, but it is pretteh bad. Gotta tighten my range pre there though, so it's good learning, a mistake I'd do often
2: Yeah, I'm pretty much readless, but people are incredibly scared of 3 barrelling at 10NL, I kinda want to use it once in a while. Probably have to reconsider how.
4:53/0/0 in 38 hands, while checking it back I realized it looks alot like a weak player who doesn't know how to play monster flops such as sets. Think I should've called or r/f on river.
5: Agreed, typical new player reaction of confusion and not comitting to a line.
6:50/36 villain, judged either a flush chase or AQ+
7: I need to find some info about playing vs short stacks, it screws me up
8: It's same villain as 6, been more aggro towards me, I know it's stacks if I hit, so I play pre.

Also you'll want to ask a mod to move this to the small stakes no limit forum because nobody will see it here.

Hand 2 looks fine to me. There is plenty in your range to represent and the board keeps improving your range. Sure you would prefer to do it with Ad 9d but we don't choose hands, hands choose us.

Done.

h1 pre flop is fucking awful, I dunno what you're thinking. Fold to utg raise, fold even harder to 3bet. Post flop, well at least you're spewing with equity here, but I call flop because I'm not raising a set just yet, and I'm certainly not raising Kx, so as spoon points out we're very underrepped. Pretty sure we should be folding when he jams it, but on the other hand when we call and bink our hand is well disguised. Just call.

h2 Yeah spew city indeed. We get value off flush draws when they miss, and maybe one street off some pocket pairs. That's about it. I'd be taking this kind of line with hearts, 67s, maybe Ax gutters, especially with the Ah, and value hands like sets and overpairs.

h3 There's another dude in the pot and I'm not actually sure whether I want to raise less or more as a result of him being there. I don't give a crap about leaving the fish with a few cents. Playing vs him is the easy bit. It's the full stack that I'm concerned about. Do I want to be able to fold to a shove from him, or do I prefer to be committed to call? That's what effects my sizing here, not the stacks size of the fish. I have no idea what to do tbh. All I know is I want to raise.

h4 I think we should just shove river rather than hope he comes over our raise.

h5 3b flop

h6 4b pre seems too big, not really sure we like being called at this size unless we know he's a huge fish. Calling flop obviously.

h7 I'd be looking to r/f ATs oop as standard, not r/c. Flop is outstanding and I can't get it in fast enough.

h8 what spoon said, nothing further to add.
