UTG+1: $18.00
UTG+2: $5.41
Hero (MP1): $25.00
MP2: $30.57
CO: $29.50
BTN: $24.50
SB: $2.25
BB: $8.10
UTG: $31.82

Pre Flop: ($0.40) Hero is MP1 with T T
2 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1, MP2 calls $1, CO calls $1, 4 folds

Flop: ($3.65) 5 Q T (3 players)
Hero bets $2.50, MP2 folds, CO calls $2.50

Nice flop, but dangerous board... Should probably bet higher here

Turn: ($8.65) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $5.00, CO calls $5

Possible flushdraw completed, I bet out anyway but should've made it atleast 6 here?

River: ($18.65) A (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $9.05, Hero calls $9.05

Hmmm, I check with possible straight and flush on board... also to induce a bet from a weaker hand and villain DOES bet. Can I call here or is this a fold. Villain isn't very aggressive but I'm getting pretty nice odds. Does villain do this often enough with a weaker hand (like AQ) to make a call reasonable?

Hand 2:

Villain is 23/2/1.6 over 100 hands

Nice flop but very dangerous board... I make a cbet and villian minraises me. With this board this could be a draw (although villain isn't overly aggressive).

Villain hardly raises so could be doing this with an overpair like QQ?

Calling doesn't seem like the best option, pot will be of reasonable size and board is very dangerous so many scarecards. Raising commits me, folding seems very weak. Should I push here? Or just call afterall and evaluate turn (or even fold).

Hand 1 Bet pot on flop. I c/c turn. Getting 2:1 on river, call expecting to lose.

Hand 2 Bet pot because of the draws and 2 villains. As played, call raise and re-evaluate on turn.

Both hands, why aren't u raising to $1.25 with 1 limper?

Hand 1: more on flop. more on turn. The river is a bad card because he could have hit his straight, and it also kills your action against Qx, so I like the river check. If villain shoves the river, I think that you have to fold, but I make a crying call given his small bet.

Hand 2: more on flop. I 3bet to $14 and call in off.

Cheers for the replies...

I raise 3BB + 1/limper since I started playing poker half a year ago so it's just in my system hehe. I'll give the 4BB + 1/limper a try though... shouldn;t really change anything in my game.

And yeah, I should've betted more on the flop in both hands. I made some fairly default bets but with these boards and multiple villains I should bet harder.

Results below in white:

Hand 1: I made the crying call and villain showed KJo for the straight. Wondered if I did the proper thing by calling the riverbet but given the odds I had a hard time not to. Main mistakes were flop- and river betsizing though.

Hand 2: I did exactly as noidea555 suggested. Raised to about 14 after which villain shoved and he called. He showed me 77 for the set. Mainly wondered if this was ok against this villain... Just felt the board was too dangerous for 'just a call'. Perhaps calling wasn't so crazy afterwards...
