4 (un?)typical hands (marginal OR;2x BB flop donk;AQo in SB)

[simonmfromgu]

Hi guys,

due to consistent loss over the last weeks, I've replayed my last few sessions in PO hand replayer and found a few hands that seem to cost me tons of money. I'd be pretty o.k. with that if I was sure that I would have played those hands correctly, but I'm not at all about those that follow.
I think they are a good example of things that I'm making wrong continuously.
Apparently, I'm overrating fold equity and seem to be unable to give up betting once I've started to, but I doubt this is correct against those loose passives. However, only betting when I've actually hit something does not seem correct to my either.

Well, any comments are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't do myself any good by betting the river again, right? However, the only thing I can beat here is ... well, actually nothing, so better come out betting again for 1:5.75 and sometimes loose 1 additional BB instead of always loosing the entiry pot ...?
