Feel free to critique any and all of these hands. With that said, intro:

So, to be honest playing the 1/2 penny tables has kind of made me want to gouge my eyes out. I took the advice of some and went against the advice of others and played the 5/10 cent tables instead of the 1/2 penny tables tonight.

I don't know if I've just been extremely lucky, you can be the judge of that, but I've made much more tonight than I made totally at the 1/2 penny tables. People will call with ANYTHING it seems! And they call large preflop raises with crap! It's ridiculous.

Here's an example of that:

Should have probably raised the flop here, and knowing the outcome it's easy to say I should have bet the river too, but it was already a big pot and I wasn't sure I had him beat.

Usually with JJ I do 1 of 2 things: 1) I limp in, an overcard comes out, I fold to most bets. 2) I raise a reasonable amount preflop and people with stuff like AJ, KJ, and such basically call. Here, I was trying something different. I raised a fairly unreasonable amount preflop (not really expecting many callers). I did this because at these limits people reallllllllly don't want to let go of their pocket pairs. His reraise told me he had a pocket pair, but I suspected it wasn't QQ, KK, or AA because of the looseness of this table and him.

Maybe this one was a little reckless. I wouldn't have bet on the turn if I didn't have the nut flush draw. Also, UTG+1 had been calling me down with crap all night.
