C&C looking back at Hand 1, i am disgusted but anywho please comment.

I wouldn't bother betting on the flop. If you're gonna bet,
bet something which may get you information. Drop in .30
to find out if there are any hands at this point. Better to just
check and see what your opponent will do. Maybe get a
free card. If he comes around and bets hard, ruining your
flush odds (3 to 1 against on the flop and 5 to 1 against on
the turn), fold. The same applies to your turn bet. Either
bet for information or check. I will say that a bet on the flop
or river can also serve to disguise your flush draw (especially
a bet on the turn). On the river, your bet .10 (you should
have bet .30 or more here). Your opponent will likely raise
you. Now with a pair showing on the board, if you had some
information from earlier betting rounds you may be able to
fold. You are also vulnerable to a suited Ax.

Hand 2 looks fine. Your PFR eliminates garbage which could
coordinate with the flop. You then ruin the odds of anyone holding
QJ or QT (especially since you have two Jacks in your hand).
And you go for the kill and get called by two plrs who probably
had no business being in the hand.

Thanks..

Hand #1: Bet the flop on a semi-bluff/scouting expidition. He will not fold that set of ducks. If he were smart he would reraise your flop bet and you will fold which will save you some money. Same for the turn. Bet the turn representing the K. He hopefully will raise you and save you some money.
River was horrible. You made third best flush as A or Q has a better flush and the board is paired for the lurking FH. When he reraised the river big, a flat call is more appropriate b/c you have nothing near the nuts.

Hand #2: Very weak play on the flop. Move AI. You are shor stacked and too many cards can hurt you.
