I used to be huge -ve in AQs and AQo. I have made up most of it but am still down 20BB in AQo and barely +ve in AQs. Please advise on which streets i should lay these down.

----------------------
Hand 1:
raised on flop to get free card. is it even worth it. i could be reverse dominated as someone could pair up their ace and the kicker?? or should i have tried a turn bet to see if it gets raised or am i just spewing chips then

1- couldnt tell ya
2- without reads...call the 3-bet and then call down
3- Fire back
4- Bet the turn
5- Fine...with 2 in i'm running.
6- I think you lead here after being the aggressor. I'm sure you'll get a rousing chorus of c/r comments

Superb play sir...I always call 20% of my stack off with a gutshot draw. Excuse me while I race for my wallet.

Hand 1: Call the flop bet, you're going to get 3-bet too often. Don't bet the turn, he wont fold and he's got you beat.

Hand 2: Don't raise the turn. Call down, definitely don't fold.

Hand 3: Meh, it's close. At 0.5/1 which is really passive I'd probably let this one go aswell.

Hand 4: Bet the turn, you might have the best hand. He'll fold here a lot and if he doesn't you can check behind on the river.

Hand 5: I'd take a stab at the pot on the flop. Since you checked a fold looks best.

Hand 6: Bet the river, the 7 hasn't changed anything if you thought you had the best hand on the turn then you still have on the river.

looks like just bad luck to me .. you had all these opponents nutted preflop and they were lucky to hit the flop harder then you.

for the life of me i couldnt get anything going for me last night, dropped 25bb in an hour, 2 to 3 hours later i popped up 50bb .. just happens sometimes.

thats what i like about online play is that anytime you are not getting cards or getting sucked out is fire up another table and maybe you will reach the end of the downswing faster

.

I was down 40BB last night in like 2 hours. got everything cracked, Whenever I had TPTK, someone had 2 pair or set. My straight loset to flush. My 2 pair lost to straight.

But after playing 18000 hands in the past month, it doesnt worry me anymore. Anyways, then the deck started clobbering me

Ended up the night 25BB.

Thats how FTR helped me to stop whining (other than exceptional occasions ) and rather work on my game and try to fix my leaks.
