There are some fairly large errors that I'd like to point out in these recent hands. Sorry if this sounds tough but I think you'll get more out of these types of answers than being told fairly glib responses such as "just take notes" or "find the errors and fix them".
Hand 1: You MUST raise bigger on the flop. When you simply double the size of his bet, you give direct odds to call to hit his flush. When he makes it .19 in this spot, you need to make it close to .60. Then when the turn brings a blank (not good or bad for either of your ranges) and he bets, you need to be jamming it in. I can tell by some of your other hands this is a mistake you are making over and over.
Hand 2: Given that the villain in this hand almost never raises preflop, he can have a LOT of hands that beat you. When you are playing guys like this (fish who play a ton of hands but rarely raise), you can't think about their ranges. Their ranges are way too wide. So all you can do is play the strength of your hand. When deciding to call off your stack, just take a moment and think about all the hands you lose to. AA, KK, TT, 55, 33, AK, AT, QJ, 42. So you lose to quite a few combonations of hands. Just call the first raise on the river. Don't ever re-raise in a spot where there are that many combos of hands that beat you.
Will take a look at the rest later.
First, I want to say, that I'm up 3.25 buy-ins. This is the first time I have been up in about 2 1/2 weeks and it has been a steady upward slope minus a few hiccups and noob mistakes. I know the sample is small, but I feel like I am improving in my decision making.
Thanks for this advice, gunburger. You are right, it is a mistake I have been making repeatedly. I have adjusted my raise sizing depending on whether I want to chase out draws or sometimes if i have a monster, I still use the min raise if it is unlikely I could be drawn out on. I need to start putting in more volume if I am going to reach my goal of 100k hands in 4-5 months. I've only played 9344 hands since Nov. 6th 1-2 tabling. I started playing 4 tables at a time, 2 full ring NIT style (I folded ATs from EP and JQs from MP today when it was folded to me), and 2 6max with about a 20-24% VPIP. I found that it's less likely I will make mistakes out of boredom at 4 tables rather than 1 or 2. I still make notes when I see someone do something a little crazy, but it's a bit more difficult to catch everything going on at 4 tables.
Some adjustments I have made are: I stopped c-betting against calling stations when I don't hit anything, but occasionally I will c-bet them when I have A high with 2 over cards and/or backdoor draw(s). I never open limp, but if I have a maniac who raises every hand behind me, I have started to limp/re-raise QQ+ / AK. I also have started over-betting with the nuts. I hit an ace high flush the other day when on the flop I had a pair of aces with queen kicker and 4 cards to a flush draw. I 3/4 pot bet 2 streets (hit the flush on the turn), then bet about 1.75x pot on the river and got called by a fish with AQo. I did the same thing on the river after flopping quad kings, and got called by a pocket pair of 9s for like 2.5x pot shove. This has done good things for my win rate. I now have alarm bells going off when I see a fish raise or bet big, and unless I have a monster, I fold and save the money. Sometimes I come across super aggressive players who bet/bet/bet with whatever they have. In these cases, I sometimes check/call every street with mid pair+ and hope I'm good at showdown. It has worked more than failed.
One hand where I got the money in good was the following, but I'm not sure if I should have played this differently. If anyone thinks I should have, please let me know.

Here's a hand where I flopped a royal flush and failed to get full value for it
Should I have 3 bet him on the turn or just made a 3/4 pot bet on the river? Any way you would play the following hand differently? I was in such shock at the time when it happened that I wasn't playing my A game.
