You need to work on bet sizing for one. Do you play both full ring and 6max or are those just short FR tables? You should focus on one or the other (although short FR tables are good).
Hand 1 Don't bet 1/2 pot, its a fairly dry board but theres still potentially a lot of cards the you don't really want to see when he calls the flop (any heart, 4, 6, 8, 9, J all complete draws). Bet at least $12, that would put the pot around at $39 then bet about $35 on the turn and get it all in. Just a cooler if he has a T or 7 imo.

Hand 2
I would bet flop about $5.25, I would probably c/call the turn, but I don't think getting it in on the turn is the worst thing, its not likely he has a 2, so thats two sets to worry about. If he has 89 you have a better 2 pair, and a draw is still likely. So I guess as played I would probably just 3 bet shove the turn vs most opponents.

Hand 3 again, I just get it in on the flop, sure you're gonna lose sometimes to sets or 2 pr, but I think you win more often over like Ax, Kxcc, some people at 50nl would even play like KK or QQ like this.

Thanks, yes in hand wtf I didnt even notice I just bet 1/2 pot. I usually go for the 3/4 button on the flop (Ongame) so it might have been a mistake. I do bet 1/2 on the turn a fair amount though. I only play FR now, since a week or two. Played 6max for 2 years before that, trying to start over and relearn.

hand 1 I would checkcall against this particular guy but most often just shove myself

hand 2 man this really sucks but Id fold

hand 3 preflop play depends on how I think he is adjusting to shorthanded. Getting it in pre isnt terrible sometimes. As played obv dont fold
