I didn't post them in strategy or include reads or history, but I don't mind if you want to tell me how bad I played.

[Padawan]

Ill take that as blowing off steam.... I think you know how you could have played them differently... I often do after a session... thats why I dont post many hand historys... Always easier to look in hindsight

[loltrickedu]

bad call with AQ pf, and probably check the kings on the river.

[ThatDeviant]

Hero didn't have AQ in any hand, tbf.

Without reads:
Hand 3: I would check behind the river most of the time. I only bet, if he calls me /w a hand like 98 here (what only donks do).
Hand 4: I might peel one more card, since the flop is not that drawheavy and raise most turns.

Rest seem like coolers. But lady luck will come back soon

[I don't play these stakes, so ignore if you want.]

Hand 2: Minraise utg, you 3bet AK, get min 4bet by sb, called by shortstack utg, you push. Now when sb min 4bets you, shouldn't that be a red flag when he nonchalantly decides to put in another raise with a shorty still in? It screams AA,KK maybe QQ to me, basically something he's not folding. And also from sb's perspective... why do you want to iso so bad versus a shortstack if you did have AA/KK? There's so much dead money in the pot that you could get stacks in easy vs sb, and shorty might have Ax so probably KK/QQ wants to see a flop anyway since it's still a dry side pot. Mathematically, AK isn't that great against any range min re-raising you, and now you're likely going into a 3-way pot, so AK really looks like a dog here if shorty is losing patience with AT+,KJ+. But then I just hate flipping with AK preflop. I hate it even more if it's 3-way.

Hand 3: I can believe someone gets stubborn with a draw or a 9 vs 2 bets, but on the river, can he really call with one pair here unless he has AJ of diamonds? I'm actually thinking he limped 9x. A9, J9, T9, 98. He got there with 2 of those hands. And I don't think A9 or 98 can make a river call. And if he's got the draw, he can't call anyway. It seems like a super thin value bet.

Others are just coolers to me. All you can, baby! Yummy.
