I've been running bad lately and am starting to question my play, I need to run a few typical hands past you guys to see if my play has deteriorated or if it's just variance:

All hands converted with: Converter

Hand #1:

Villain (SB) is 25/21/2.5.

Limit Holdem Ring game
6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero raises, 3 folds, SB 3-bets, BB folds, Hero calls.

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5.4SB, 2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, Hero calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4.7BB, 2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6.7BB, 2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 8.7BB

I tend to call down with TPGK HU no matter, when should I drop it?

Hand #2:

Limit Holdem Ring game

3 folds, hero raises, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4.4SB, 2 players)

BB bets, hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 8.2BB

When do I drop this, if at all?

Hand #3:

Villain is 21/7/0.8 but still this is early in the session and I haven't played him before.

Limit Holdem Ring game
6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
3 folds, hero raises, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5SB, 2 players)
SB checks, hero bets, SB calls.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3.5BB, 2 players)
SB checks, hero bets, SB raises, hero calls.

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7.5BB, 2 players)
SB bets, hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 9.5BB

Now in these HU situations I tend to bleed, still I can't fold such a big hand when I know he can't put me on such a big hand. But the turn check-raise is so often strong at this site, should I just fold?

Hand #4:

Limit Holdem Ring game
6 players

Villain is 32/9/0.8

Pre-flop: (6 players) hero is SB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
4 folds, hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2.4SB, 2 players)
hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2.2BB, 2 players)
hero bets, BB raises, hero calls.

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6.2BB, 2 players)
hero checks, BB bets, hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 8.2BB

I'm getting 7:1 on my river call, is it worth it with his turn raise?

Hand #5:

SB is 49/8.5/0.6, UTG is 58/25/1.4 (small sample)

Limit Holdem Ring game
5 players

Pre-flop: (5 players) hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG raises, 2 folds, SB calls, hero calls.

SB checks, hero bets, UTG calls, SB calls.

River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (9BB, 3 players)
SB checks, hero checks, UTG checks.

Now the turn should I bet my flushdraw even though it was the A? Should I just check and pray for the free card?

I could go on and on but these will suffice for now. Any comments appreciated, those with both a what and why even more. Thx in advance.
