My first time posting in these forums and confused where to put my hands and ask for help, I am just beginning to record my hands and reflect on them later to get better. I read the strategy posts about Equity , Ranges and what not and while I feel like I'm understanding it mostly it seems alot harder to apply it to real games and keep everything into account while going over my own hands I know these 2 hands may be poorly played but would appreciate any help and some advice on where to post future hands as I am trying to grow as a poker player. open to any and all advice.

NO STATS
full ring game, $0.01,$0.02
hero open raises $0.06 from MP1 holding 10h,10,s
MP2 Calls, CO 3bets $0.18,Hero calls,MP2 folds (pot: $0.45)
FLOP: 6c,Jd,9s ...Hero Checks, Villain bets $0.22 (half pot)..Hero calls (pot= $0.89)
TURN: Kc .....Hero checks, Villain Checks
RIVER: 5h ......Hero Checks, Villain bets $0.43, Hero folds.

I wasnt sure what range to put him on pretty new to this whole thing . when i typed in his 3 bet into equilab and calculated on the river I was given correct equity to call but I dont know how accurate those equilab templates are and this was after I was done playing. Is there any good charts for calling ranges? where is the best place to begin learning ranges ive been using equilab after games but i feel like i need a newbie range chart to look at while playing or something. anyways I have another hand below which i know is bad but was wondering if my call was completely terrible with a flush draw + gutshot

CO limps
Hero on button bets $0.08 with 4h,8h,
SB calls, Villain calls in CO ( pot= $0.26)
FLOP: Js,6h,Jh...Villian checks, Hero bets $0.16, SB calls, Villian Re-Raise $0.32, Hero Calls, SB folds (pot=$1.06)
TURN: 5d.....Villian bets $1.06, Hero calls (pot =3.19)
RIVER: 9c....Villain all in $0.09 , Hero calls , Villain shows : Jd,

Hello and welcome.
The correct forum for hands would be this: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/board.php?boardid=1674

O hahhaha, and you've put it here :)

Hand 1, I would fold OTR too.
Hand 2: 84s is way too loose for me to play, even from button with a limper.
On flop, I would surely shove after his re-raise because he has half a stack left.

On turn, this is a easy fold.

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion forum. There fits it better.
I recommend reading our https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=267242 thread if you want to post more hands and try to post 1 hand per thread.

First hand seems fine, but not sure how deep you and the villain in this hand are playing.
2nd hand is for me a fold pre-flop and as played the flop play is understandable, but on the turn you need to fold with only a draw. Even if you hit the flush you could end up with the 2nd best hand and you don't get the right odds ether.

Cheers,

Realise it was not optimal, but i think justice dictates the play to just check with a suited version, those flop well.
I am interested in the first hand thought process, i'd fold flop, but isn't it more perspective than knowledge?

Folding in first hand seems a little bit weak on the flop. Than you expect he isn't betting with less than top pair in a 3bet pot. 2nd hand is checking behind the flop against 2 players on a dry board with a flush draw not bad indeed.
