Two hands played within about 10 minutes of each other. I would appreciate any feedback. I'll post the hand results later on.

First hand. Rainbow Flop, perfect so I bet 1/3 pot hoping for callers. Q s comes on the turn, again good I hope they have a queen and bite but does leave a
a flush draw so I bet bigger. I don't think this bet was anywhere near big enough, I think in future I'd shove it right there.

Second hand. I'm not putting him on a straight draw with the flop due to calling my PFR and not playing many hands so I assume he is Tight.
As with the example above I should have overbet more on the Flop due to the flush chance.

The HH's are too hard to follow to give any real advice. However bet bigger than 1/3 pot with any made hand. People in 4NL will call way too often so bet 3/4 - pot.

Try to post the full HH with stack sizes.

First hand. First mistake is that you min-raised preflop. Always raise 3-4x their raise size so here you should've raised it up to .24cents at least preflop. On the flop you should bet much bigger. For me, I would almost always bet 2/3-3/4 pot size, you're killing value by 1/3potting it there. As i'm not sure what the stack sizes are, idk if you should shove the turn but if you had around a dollar something left, i wouldn't be opposed to it.

Second hand. Everything looks good except your flop bet is too small. The flop is pretty drawy so we can expect to get called by worse a lot so you can go ahead and just bet .52.

I apologise for the hand format but I don't think the PKR HH's work with the converter.

Thanks for the feedback. Bet bigger is the obvious theme of advice.
