Did you edit out the hands you didnt play? They give info thats probably useful for analysing your bubble play.

What he said.

For what you did post...

2: Why bet full pot on the flop? I make it like 200. Minor detail, but at this stage 100 chips is a lot.

4: Fold

5: Push preflop if he likes to limp. I like betting the flop to protect against the flush draw and to disguise the hand, but it seems you got maximum value.

6: I wouldn't show my cards when I they are good as sooner or later, the donks are going to realise my good cards are few and far between.

8: Shove/fold preflop. I like a shove here.

11 is really bad. It's fine to try to resteal, but PUSH. As played, you're getting over 2:1 on the call.

12: FOld with a limper in front. With 10bbs you will get better opportunities than this.

14: When you reraise, push.

One comment on hand 14. You say everything was going the way you wanted it to up until he showed AA. That implies you deliberately did the small raises to get him to go AI with you. A9 isnt a hand you want to be called AI with. Its a hand to take the blinds with, and at least its not too bad if you do get called.

On 5: he fired a second bullet. Think about it then call.
On river, hesitate a lot, then make a sucker bet (if he's a good player) or push (if he's a donk).

Also, show cards very sparingly.

I always seem to disagree with your posts. I prefer OPs line with a flush draw and a straight draw now on the board. Anything that will call a river bet (eg. TPGK) is going to call the turn c/r and we might as well get it in while we know we are ahead.
