Pick your fav. or let me know what you think on both hands. Gutted to lose HU when I had the chip lead, need to make sure it doesn't happen often

I hope to share the bank)) a little positive!

I dont like limping 69 with 6bbs, if you do that I think you need to limp and go-ie limp and shove every flop(preferably fast), but I think open jamming is the way to go with 6bbs.

The first hand I'd check the river. Like you said, the flush got there and now the open ended straight draw gets there as well. Calling a river bet is a tough one, because what do you beat that he will value bet in position. If he has middle pair, he'll probably take the showdown... if he value bets he either has it, or he's bluffing... but seeing as both draws completed..

The second hand you should jam. He'll probably get out of the way with J8 and you take down the blinds. You do not want to play flops with that stack and with that hand.

Know your shoving ranges.
