Hand 1: I felt like I missed a lot of value from this hand. I flopped top two but when I got min-raised I was a little worried of QJ, but he had K9 for top and bottom pair. Should I have played this a little more aggressively and not even bother worrying about the straight, on the flop anyways? If I pop him back on the flop I might get all his chips, but I don't know. My golden rule is never to go broke in an unraised pot, and that was my goal here. Thoughts?

Hand 2: With his big flop raise I didn't think he would play a K like that. I ended up being correct and he was just bluffing with AQ. Is there ever a spot to lay this down on a flop like this? Just asking for future reference since it's near impossible to put them on a hand.

Hand 3: I decided to try to bluff at this pot, I made the standard call with AQs OOP, even though his raise was quite large. That was a super dry flop and his weak bet told me he had nothing, so I stuck in a raise hoping to take it down. Instead he moved in and I obviously had to fold. Thoughts on this bluff?

Hand 4: Three handed here, I raised it up with KJo on the button, BB calls. I flopped second pair here and bet it, he called. The turn blanked out, but I decided to check behind here. On the river he made a massive overbet of the pot. I used to look these bets up a lot and normally they would show me a better hand and I would feel stupid. I played it safe here and folded. Should I have lead the turn and hope he checks the river to see a cheap showdown?

Hand 5: What could this guy have had? I turned the nut straight and he raised my pot-sized bet, and I popped him back hoping to get it all in. He just smooth called. The river diamond hit but I wasn't too worried about that, so I made a smallish bet into the pot and he folded. What on earth could he have here?
