Bad call on the turn, that guy just blasted you with horrible odds. Good play on his part.
PF and flop are fine.

Easy fold on the turn.

I hate limping in with crap like this on the sb. I would fold this junk and just play the abc poker that will increase your roll. Anyway since you did play it and seeing how your first to act I wouldn't risk more of my stack for such a small pot right now and the turn call is just awful. I just hate you lost about half of your stack this early with q8.

Folding PF is good if you're going to make calls like this. If you can play post flop, then the 30 more is offering such good implied odds that you can make the call.

Re: ps 6.5 / 9 drawing decision
 

I like fold PF with the raise in front, though I suppose calling isn't 00ber-awful. Without the raise in front, completing is really standart.

Flop min-bet is crap. I really like just checking here. Pretty goddamn easy fold on the turn.

Re: ps 6.5 / 9 drawing decision
 

Normally I'd fold preflop and save my chips for later. As played I like leading out at the flop to see how strong UTG is and I think calling his min-raise is fine. Calling the turn bet is awful, fold and live to fight another day.
