I don't really have much to say, pretty sure I played them as bad as possible. What should I have done better?

1st hand: More pre. For me the turn is a fold, although hes a drooler, he seems relatively passive, I think we're beat here quite often.

2nd hand: More pre. At 2nl raise more with your premiums (villains wont notice). Then bet more OTF and gii.

Dont post results even as spoilers, means people come in and say ''easy fold there'' when its obv a snap call.

I always call fish with those stats, it is masive +EV and you would be shocked at what they push.

1st hand:
- Preflop is OK except I would make it 0.20.
- Flop I would just fire a pot bet, this type of opponent doesn't really care about such trivialities as a few BBs.
- Turn I would always call the 1st time this happens, first he is an idiot so we are likely ahead and second I get valuable info.

2nd hand:
- I always make it 0.10 here, even more if there is an 75+ VPIP guy I want to play him heads up.
- Flop I would be more careful, these muppets love Aces and especially suited ones... would call him down cheaply (he looks like the minibet type) just to see what he raises with since it is so valuable info.

first hand is a clear fold

Yep.

Fold to the Baluga, go broke in hand #2. Stop posting results, and bet larger everywhere.

First hand is a really sick spot. Logically we are ****ed in every way, thing is villain is a 80vpip dipship. I really could go either way on this. In practise I'd fold but lets face it I'm a nit, when I feel bad about folding it's usually a very bad sign. Bet more on the flop ldo.

2nd hand I flat, sure this guys fishy but he will be pl;aying any two clubs, fish make flushes very easily because of this. I don't think we're ahead of his range when he 4bets us so I prefer flatting then leading the turn.

+1 don't even show the action you took (as we know if you stacked off and posted a hand here you sure as hell didn't win).

This is how your hand should look

Cut off the action from the point where the hand began to get troublesome.

When I say this I don't even mean people will see the result and give a results oreintated reply in a dishonest fashion juyst to be right. Hindsight genuinly affects your judgement. I can confidently say that I give worse replies to hands when the results are shown to me or the action makes the result obvious.

In case you don't know what is being said about Baluga in hand #1, the so-called Baluga Theorem. Probably best to stick with that until you are playing regs you know are capable of 'Baluga bluffing', but that won't be for a while yet I would have thought.

Hand 2 is awkward, and I personally go for a flat OTF, and go broke OTT.
