I'm not sure if I played these correctly and was hoping you guys could give me suggestions. These are from the last two days on 2nl 6max zoom on pokerstars. You'll notice I like to play deep-stacked as I find I am able to semi-bluff much more successfully at 2nl. I really appreciate anyone who comments on this thread.

Hand #1 - The reason I sometimes bet in these hands is I find players call a lot with draws but should I have folded the river?

1/ JJ - pre fine, flop why are you donking into the preflop raiser , you could well end up getting reraised and blowing your donk bet.
board now has lots and lots of draws with straights , and flush draws, betting again just looks like its boating the pot and river could turn horrible. its no longer a hand that i want to play a big pot with especially as it was 3bet pre.river is ridiculously easy fold
, straights got there , boats have got there . just fold.

2. KK i'd 3bet bigger pre since you are out of position for rest of hand and there is a caller of the initial raise.I'd probably be slightly bigger on flop ~40. Turn - you already have half your stack in the middle and pot committed and still have Q and K outs to win if behind.

3. AK - i'm 4 betting pre and willing to stack off pre unless he is an ultra nit. 4bettng would probably have avoided this loss , but thats results orientated. you got your money in ahead and he sucked out on the river. well played

4. At 2nl you ain't gonna lose a lot bu folding AJo in the blinds and avoid playing out of position.Again you are donking flop which lets opponent play perfectly aginst you , they fold that A high flop with out an Ace , two pair or set and call with them. again why lead the turn and bloat pot,
river .... again why lead the river ,flush has completed and easy fold to what must be virtually a shove.

5. 77 - pre fine , flop , i'd raise bigger for value to .24 and charge straight draws to continue. Turn is a fold when he has gone from donking small to donking virtually pot and Tx has now completed the straight.

6. KJo can probably fold that easily pre until you get more experience, flop fine as a cbet since many will fold there non ace hands, once you get called go steady. MAny Ax hands will continue and your 2 pairs can easily get counterfeited by showdown. play for a small pot , not for big value in this situation. If villains check call two streets and then bet pot sized on the river they usually have a really strong hand. this hand demonstrates that concept perfectly.

1) Folding preflop is actually a good option at this limit unless you have a read. Since you called you should check call one street in case he has an AKish hand. You should not call anymore streets after that. You donked out on the flop which I feel is a mistake. When you bet the turn you are basically turning your hand into a bluff at that point. You should fold the river.

2) I think you should check the turn. Since you bet, I feel you should fold to his re-raise. His bluff was weird and uncommon most of the time you'll be beat.

3) You played this hand fine, just got unlucky. I don't like 4-betting AK here.

4) Don't bet out on flop. Also betting that small is even worse. Given the way you played the flop I like the turn and river bet. However you have to fold to the re-raise on the river.

5) Turn is unfortunately a fold. On the flop re-raising is correct as your hand is great. You aren't raising to find out if they have it. You are raising strictly for value.

6) Nothing you can do about this one.

Thanks Keith MM and TheGodson for reviewing my hands. Hands like these have been a leak for me and I wasn't sure how I should be playing them so your comments help a lot. I've read your notes a couple of times and then reviewed more hands from HM2 and I can see more of my leaks now.
