Hand 1: Bad call. Fold
Hand 2: I am calling the flop bet as the only thing that's going to call when you raise is an ace. It may eventually get to him being all-in, but you should increase your equity against non-ace hands.
Hand 3: Bah, you don't have to raise with every combo draw? There's a guy behind you, I opt for calling. Because, if the other guy stays in, we may get even better equity if we hit.
Hand 4: Too fast. You have no FE on this board. All overpairs, AJ even KJ are calling. Call and stack him, if you hit. This is a board where people will call your all-ins with overpairs and AJ even if an obvious flush is showing.
Hand 5: Looks ok. Re-raise pre though.
Hand 6: You should check the turn. Though, it's quite difficult to get away from AA on that board.
Hand 7: This is a tough. I often make this mistake as well and people always show up with a better hand against my bottom two pair.
Hand 8: Bad luck.

Overall, I think you are overplaying your hands slightly. All combo draws are not equal and your success with them depends on the board and FE (which in turn depends on opponents' cards). If the opponent thinks that you have a draw and is calling, then it's -EV for you. It's as simple as that. Just calling on some boards is ok, as these guys are giving you the stack if you hit, anyway.

I think most of your combo draw plays would look better at higher stakes, here you can easily overestimate your fold equity. Besides, they will pay you off enough when you hit your draw especially if it is well disguised, so it's OK to be a little backwards on express odds knowing your implied odds are pretty damned good. In general I am only playing this aggressively if I am confident I have 12 or more clean outs, but the more the merrier.

(2:14:11 PM) Eric: {random}
(2:14:14 PM) Mirage: lol

For the hand you asked for opinion on, A6dd, I fold to his 3 bet. You can't really call, and you know you're shoving in a load behind without much invested. I like the flop raise, but you should fold. I like most of your play in fact, and if you had a good read in the first hand, then the AQ call could be correct, and appears as though it was since he was shoving ATo.

The second combo draw is also fine, you got the money in as favourite over QQ and didn't hit. If you won't play combo draw like this then you can't raise hands like 86s etc.

On the 69o hand where you flop 2 pair, I don't feel that good about my hand after the raise behind me and just fold it there.

Just say, you're combo draws don't rely on fold equity at all. They are usually a favourite over most made hands, and often not terribly far behind even some strong ones, and all the shoving and raising means you can get more action on top pair and stronger. Don't know why linux is saying fold equity is so important. But when you are clearly not going to get a fold, it is usually because you are up against a big hand you don't want to race with.
