do you think i could have played these hands any differently. for some reason when i look at them, especially hand 1, i don't think that i played them very well. i can't pinpoint what i don't like so any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Hand 1:

I wouldn't have even considered playing this except for the fact it was suited. I would have folded on 5th street when my hand didn't improve, as I would have needed runner runner to make my flush, and surely those fives aren't any good. The OESD on 6th street makes it harder to get away from though, I appreciate the odds say call on that one.

Hand 2:

A nightmare hand! I hate getting dealt AA as it's very hard to get away from. I would have let it go on 6th street. Your opponents have JJ and QQ on their boards, and after the check-call I would have read that as trips, and laid it down.

Hand 3:

I would have probably played this the same. Just unlucky he's made his flush. I like the check on 7th street though, very sensible play if you thought you might be beat, a bet saved is a win in itself.

Hand 1: Fold on 5th. 3 diamonds are gone, and your only outs you can be somewhat ok with are 4's and 6's.

Hand 2: I would probably play this the same way. On 6th you really can't give anyone credit for trips automatically since you can vouche for one dead J and one dead Q. When you checked the aces, you kind of told everyone that your aces haven't improved here so that should give the greenlight for any 2 pair to fire out with the lead.

Hand 3: I probably would play this the same way. I have a hard time thinking of any hand on 7th that he has that's paying you off with.

On hand 2, i probably would have just called the complete with my Aces, and then tried a check raise on 4th street. By completing on 3rd, you are just building a bigger pot for people to go after. Also, it disguises your hand by just completing. By checkraising 4th, you will get fairly weak draws out and you'll keep the players with other pairs like Ks, Qs, Js, etc which is what you want.
With the first hand, it really isn't a good hand to play, even though it looks nice in the beginning. As someone said, 3 diamonds are out by 5th, which basically just leaves you with some low crap with little chance of ending up with the best hand. You got sucked in by catching the 6, and getting sucked into hands is what usually costs you.

with the 1st hand, i actually had the bring-in and no one completed. i saw a free 4th card essentially and paired my 6. at this point all my cards are live, except two diamonds. on 5th i hit a 5 which made me an inside straight with 4's being live. i probably should have folded here. once i saw 6th i had to take that last card.
