Dear folks,

today was a very black friday for my bankroll. I've made many stupid decisions where I knew they weren't reasonable and I was always exactly right with the handreading. I got coolered some times in big pots and a very lot of the time I just did not hit anything and then got somehow mad and weak passive because I saw soooo many stupid honks betting 4th pair twice and 3betting shit and get away.
I want to share 2 hands with you. Again, I apologize for not being able to convert hands into a format. Maybe someone can link me to a readme for one of those hand converters?

Second hand, Cutoff opens to 3BB (a player who has LAG-tendencies but he's not too tough to play against and he is sometimes extremly loose on the CO, BU and with his 3bets in SB, BB. He two-barrels a very lot but since he has a weak range you can call quite wide)

BU & SB folds, I call with 2h2s in the BB. Stacks were effectivly 100BB.

The Flop comes 2c6cJh.

I check with planning to check-raise Flop or check-call and check-raise turn. CO bets 4 BB into a 6,5BB pot. I call.

Turn comes Ah. I check. CO bets 9 BB into a 14,5BB pot. I call (in retrospective I really don't know why I did not check-raise at least now. If he is on a draw that would be the time to get the dollars in).

River comes 8c and completes the club-flush. I fear to lose again and check. CO checks and mucks 6h4h.

In retrospective, I think I should've been way more aggressive. Besides, I don't know what else to say about it.

It would be appreciated if you share your thoughts on this. How would you play this hand and why?

I would check/raise the flop because there is a flushdraw on the board (so we have to protect our equity) and we will generally get the most value with sets like that vs hands that he is villing to continue with, like overpairs and sometimes top pairs; in this case also flushdraws. Since the board is not that much drawy, I don't mind check/calling the flop, but I would then check/raise the turn. Another flushdraw hits and he might hit that card. As played, I think we can bet/fold the river because some pairs will call rather than bet. If he raises, we can be pretty sure that we are behind on this kind of board (people usually don't bluff much in those situations at these limits).

We should xr flop or turn at least. We have a strong hand and should try to extract value and not give villain a chance to set up his price for drawing.

We cannot x twice here. We should get value here.
