Help me stop giving out money

I feel like I play well 95% of the time and then a big hand finally comes along and I blow it. If I could just stop pushing in marginal spots and calling All-ins I'd feel like a 1000 bucks.

Hand 1: Villain is 33/8/1.5- Pretend I check the River, what can you call here? Should this have been a turn check?

1. You are turning ur hand into a bluff. C/c small bet on turn otherwise c/f. C/f on river to anything other than Q or spade

2. Bet more on flop, at least 2. Check behind turn is good. Fold to significant river bet. Fold to shove as played.

3.Fine i guess. Riase more pf, and pot flop

don't bluff in microstakes

hand1: dont bet when only better hands call
hand2: i dont like calling such a large raise for split pot
hand3: okay

But wouldn't a Jack call here thinking his middle pair was good (or even the 88 villain had)? I guess the lesson is better safe than sorry when OOP.

i doubt a jack would call when the flush completes and there is a ace.
