2/4 NL full ring/10 players:

Hand 1:

Hero has $400 with J J in UTG+1.
Folds to hero, hero raises to $20
UTG+2 calls (tight player, made some good folds that session)
1 more caller IP
Pot is $66

Flop comes J Q Q

Hero c-bet's $25 (as I'd done the last 2 hands I was in, could bet more?)
UTG+2 calls, other guy folds.

Turn: 8
I decide to check here only because the last 2 hands I was in I had taken down on the flop uncontested and no one had seen a showdown with me yet. I wanted to give this guy a chance to "push me off it". And he did; he bet $60 into the ~$110 pot.
I Hollywood for a while and call (Pot now ~$230)

Possibly bad here, but a brick on the river, I have ~$300 behind and I check to him...He bets! He bets about $150, I ponder and ponder and ponder, looking at my stack, as if to say "Well I may as well shove" and shove, he folds with about $220 behind.

Thoughts?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 2:

Hero is UTG with $500. Hero has 6 6 (Lowest PP I will open with here).
I open to $16. Called by 2 guys to my immediate left (same guy from above +1 more).
Pot is $54.

Flop is K Q 6 (puke)

I bet out pretty big, about $40 to close down any draws, I still had massive equity here (>60%).
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: 8
Pot: $134. He's definitely sticking around here with any King or high Queens (loose caller)
I bet out $100 ($360 behind)
He calls(!)
Pot is $334

River: 6 ....

I check.....And he checks!
He shows K Q

Phew! If bet into, without looking at it I'm guessing I'd be far <10% equity there on the river...Ugly card. I dodged a bullet there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 3:

Hero has J T on BTN ($600+ behind)

UTG limps
MP limps
Hero raises to $16
SB calls
BB re-raises to $35 (Very spewy player, had been vocal about getting **** hands all night, loves to gambool, showed down a massive bluff earlier. Was constantly moving seats lol)
UTG calls
MP limper calls
...So hero calls (Likely will be 5 way)
...And SB calls (lol)

Pot is $175!

Flop: A J 8
BB (re-raiser) looks pissed, is complaining about something under his breath (lol Ace), checks around to me, I check. (Just assuming I'm behind so much here, 5 way and all).

Turn: 2

Checks around again to hero;
Who puts out $125.
Everyone folds. BB laments that "The Ace always comes!!" Smashes his chips into the table.

HAND 1:

PF: Good, no comment

F ($66): SPR is 5.8. Cbet is too low. You’ll get calls from hands like AJ, 99, T9, KT, any Ace; all hands that would reasonably just call your PFR. Plus, we want to value bet the hell out of anyone with a Q. We need to bet more! A $40-$45 Cbet is better. Plus, you want to get your stack in as soon as possible, right?

T ($116): You’re way overthinking here. Way too much FPS. Just keep shoveling money into this pot. OK, so you check he bets $60 into $116. At this point, I’m check-raising here. I’m really hoping he has AQ. If he has a hand like TT, after you check the river, he’s checking behind. We’ve lost our control of the pot, so if we call here, and check the river, he’s checking back anything except a Q. If we bet the river, he’s folding his TT or his missed draw if he doesn’t hit.

R ($236): We have $295. We might has well check here because betting out looks to strong and hopefully he’ll bet again. I’m check jamming any bet. So he bet’s $150 and we decide to “ponder” and then give a speech. Why are we giving a speech? This speech screams, “I have the nuts!” (I know you don’t have the nuts, but your hand is likely the best hand). And of course he correctly folds. He might of folded anyway, but any competent players knows what this speech means.

HH 2 can't be correct. As posted you ended up with quad 6's on the river with 2 6s.

Hand 1:

Flop: Bet's good and I like your sizing, especially if you've done it without showdown in several hands.

Turn: Since we don't block Qx, I would just bet/bet/bet. The problem with Hollywooding like you hate life when villain bets is that in order to get stacks in, you have to raise at some point, and the "I hate my hand so much I'm going to shove" Hollywood is the most see-through of them all. Just bet $40. Small enough that he's tempted to call with TT and AK, but even more importantly, small enough that he feels like he HAS to raise at some point with Qx if he wants to win a big pot.

River: Again, we should have just bet/bet/bet, so now I don't know what to do. x/shove seems like the best way to get a bare Q to fold, which isn't good since we don't have the nuts, but then again, if our plan was really to induce his air, then I guess checking is the best line.

Hand 2 is good/std (I assume the river was not the 6s reincarnate but a different spade).

Hand 3 bet less on turn, now fold to his AA/AJ.

Oh when I say I Hollywooded I don't mean talking, I didn't say a damn thing (and I wouldn't) I meant I just looked disappointed, thought a bit, then checked my stack and said "all in".

Thanks for the advice. I even had a session note going in telling me "do not slow play!!" And that's what I did. Next time would definitely bet/bet/bet in that spot.

HH1

I donīt mind the smaller flop sizing, but for the love of god, donīt stop betting!

HH2

I stab at this flop sometimes, planning to barrel the turn if I donīt think anyone has an ace...but Iīm spewy.

As played, no need to bet so much on turn. Board is dry, V is not folding QQ or KK after we checked the flop, doubtful anyone is folding a better J. $70 sounds about right.
