This is a cooler right? i usually throw those baby pairs away preflop if im in UTG or HJ... i should have done this time to..... Well ok time to man up and analyze.

Fold UTG... done But if not you get 3 bet small ofc you have to call. on flop standard i guess i could have bet like half pot to defend against PP 5-6 and or flushdraws. If someone raise i will re raise flop then play straightforward from there... BUT.... it get checked.

T on T i open gets reraised and i think to myself F.... the set of T was just hited. But i have almost no information about VI so this could be a weak dude that just hit his KT / AT. so i man up again and go all in ofc he calls with set of 7's.

Am i this bad at poker? Should i just quit

I dont think, you did anything wrong in this hand. Folding small pairs UTG is reasonable in full ring, but not so much at 6-max. Better luck next time

33 is mostly just folded from UTG. Its not a huge error as it is a partial open but i would generally just fold pre. After that the hand plays itself and its a cooler.

You are right. In cash game 100BB mode GTO Wizard will only open 22-44 UTG around 30% of the time. Still this means, its not a mistake to open those hands, but its not a mistake to fold them either. Regarding postflop 65 did flop a straight, but we dont expect MP to call our UTG open with 65, and if he does, then at most its 65s, which is only 4 combos. When we get raised on the turn, we are not folding, and then its reasonable to get it in, since we are out of position, and there are many draws, that MP could be raising with. So I think, postflop is pretty flawless.
