How well (or bad) did I play these hands?

So i've finally stepped back into Online poker after pretty much a month+ off and am playing for money now.. on cash tables.. which is strange as I am much more a tourny guy... anyways won a couple quick hands and am excited now.

Oh damn one was cut off.. also yeah I guess some of these are no brainers.. im just sort of excited right now and I do get a little nervous everytime I play.. takes me a little bit to get into a grove and settled in.

Really trying to get going on a small ball thing but with such short stacks in tourneys these days it's kind of hard.. have to work on my own style.

I just wish Pokerstars had a little lower amounts so I could get settled in.. damn big money 25/50s.

Bet at least half pot on every street post flop whether you're bluffing, semi-bluffing, or value betting. Right now it seems like you don't really know how/why you should be sizing your bets.

-KJ hand pre is good, flop is too small, turn is retardedly small, so is river. Flop should be bet big, turn bet big, river shove.
-The 99 hand is hard to say whether it's good or bad, if the guy is loose enough then it seems standard, but jamming over the initial raise might be best.
-The JT hand is atrocious. Why are you donk betting? Why are you donk betting the min and calling? Why are you calling JTo out of position? I think it's pretty much misplayed on every street, but it doesn't matter since the optimal play is just to fold pre-flop.

Yeah Jack Ten was pretty stupid but I have played with that guy before and really figured he didn't have anything (He did lose previous a couple recent hands on some pretty bad bluffs so I wasn't really convinced he had much. and well as stupid as it may sound Jack 10 my favorite hand.

Like I said I am much, much more comfortable with in tourneys.. and cash games little odd, was sort of nervous.. and yes one of the biggest things I want to improve on is bet sizes.

Now playing on a 5/10 table feel much more comfortable right now.
