There is waaaaaaaaaay too much to say about all these,

For starters, buyin full for 100bbs for every hand, turn on auto topup and make sure you constantly have $5 in your stack.

When you are doing this come back with some more hands, because some of these hands warrant no analyses whatsover, for example, the hand where you have 6bb's pre and shove UTG, like theres no possible strategy thats going to be effective when we have 6bb in our stack so do whatever there lol

Learn to fold too, theres plenty of times where you bet out with nothing and then call a raise?? When you bet, you need to do it for 1 of 2 reasons, either for value (worse hands are going to call) or as a bluff (we can make better hands fold), whenever you go to make a bet, ask yourself why you are betting, what are you trying to accomplish with your bet.

Shameless plug, but it goes into more detail on the reasons for betting, and also some tips for the micros in general!

I'm a live player currently taking a break from live. So I figured I'd try my hand at a little online play. I play very tight live so I wanted to loosen up for this experiment.

I won't be depositing anymore $ online anytime soon. The experiment was not a success.

I only looked at hand 1 and it was terrible so in honesty I didn't even feel like looking at the rest but just from the first hand one can tell you are just clicking buttons. Start from the basics, read a decent book, some articles, watch some videos and then when you have questions post a hand or two and ask for some criticism on the hand.

No need to lash out at people who are trying to help you I only looked at the first 2 hands their is no reason to post these hands if you cant take the advise I'm interested to see what your definiton of tight is and yeah always top off your stack.

Just took a quick look at your hands and have a few points.
-don't limp in the SB cos you dont have the initiative and your OOP. either fold or raise.
-97s I would probably 3bet in the blinds instead of calling
-I dont play 6max but I think A6s UTG at 5NL is probably a bit loose
-raise size from UTG should probably be 4xbb and not a min raise 2xbb
-raise size else where should be 3xbb
-hand with AK and you lead like .29 into .90 on a 2 on the river. Not sure why? youre giving him a sweet price to call anything and its not exactly a scare card. If you're betting as a bluff try to rep scare cards.

Basically you just need to work on your bet sizing pre and post flop. You seem to do a lot of min betting and min raising.

Good luck though!

As per my previous post, I am a live player. I never limp or min raise live. I wanted to try something new online.

Title says "hands for review" so I gave a review. Was just trying to help you. So your plan was to see if limping and min raising would be a more effective strategy? I just dont understand..

It's not condescending. First hand alone has so many bad choices that I can already tell you don't seem to know what you are doing. If you only expect to hear complements then why post anything at your stage of play?

You got a lot of learning to do, starting with why does one bet at all, then preflop game and post flop game. I advised you to read a good book , watch some good videos.

You most likely aren't an idiot but when it comes to playing poker it looks like you don't really know what you're doing. You might think it's meant to offend you, it's not. Learn to deal with criticism. I'm not trying to put you down. Accept that you don't know much about online poker and most likely even live poker and get to work if you want to improve yourself.

don't tap the live glass imo.

Limping and min raising is not good live or online its like A nascar driver saying this is boring I want to try something new so he turns to the right....

That was the greatest nascar race ever!

Again, I'm a live player. This wasn't how I normally play. I was experimenting. Instead of telling me I do so much wrong, how about offer something helpful?

When did I say I only want compliments? I didn't. However, I also did not post to be attacked either.

What else does this post accomplish then? You just put me down. You didn't offer anything helpful regarding the hands posted.

OP, you post hands for review and when you don't like the review, you claim attack?

You asked for a review and you got one. The first response from orangepeelio was spot on. Nobody in this thread is attacking you -- apparently you've not seen a real forum attack, lol.

As to loosening up online vs live, that's kinda backwards, so not sure what you intended to accomplish there.

I agree completely with 'TheseNutsWin', their is a difference between trying a different strategy, e.g. going from tight to loose rather than leading out with nothing and then re-raising with a min-raise I mean he is NEVER folding anything here to a min raise. your just throwing money away in that first hand. His raise basically indicates that he has a really good hand and while he might be raising a draw you still should just fold as you have nothing and most people at these stakes call down draws to the end of the earth anyway...

Were you trying to be more loose or did it just happen because you were playing online.

Its way easier to be tight in a live game and it easier to be loose online. Or at least that's what I have experienced.

I'm not trying to put you down. I have given you an advice and not on how to play these hands but rather that you start with basics since one can clearly see that your actions seem to be rather random. Limp in here, min raise here , min bet here, 3 bet call 4 bet with garbage. It's just awful play and the point that you don't realize it is something you should consider and maybe seek out sources that would improve your game like books that would tech you fundamentals. Start with Sklansky's theory and move on to other books and videos.

wont deposit again online cuz a bad experiment failed?? lol

lot of the hands are weak, fold pre

you cbet-pd raise on most every flop
then check most every turn- weakness

and if you do it repeatly i open my range against you so you will be beat by crappier cards cuz you think A hi is always good

1st hand reraise a gut chase? then pay another reraise?
5th hand bet sizing needs work- smaller turn bet than flop bet?

ummm what was the question? you're a pro live, do everything opposite online and want review of why you lost tho you should know why...

I simply wanted some constructive critiquing from other players not a smack on the hand, sir.

Constructive criticism is all you're getting here. Read and learn sir. Stop repeating that you're a live pro and that you're just experimenting, because if that's true, then you should understand that these 'experiments' are just -EV.
