<WHINE>

I am starting to suspect there must be an inherent flaw in my play.

I have won

0 out of 4 in KK
3-8 in A-K (s and o)
4-7 in A-Q(s and o)
1-10 in A-J (s and o)
4-9 in K-Q (s and o) - only winner in money so far

I love 10-10. 4-4.

Is that normal ? If i cant make money in these premium hands, what are my chances when I dont even get these cards...

</WHINE>



Thanks in advance for your feedback. I feel like I am learning a lot, making good laydowns (that was unthinkable to me a month back !! ). However, I am trying to get rid of my sometimes fishy, sometimes maniac ways.

Hand 1:
I 3-bet the turn thinking that only 10 can save my opponent. Clearly a mistake i guess.

Hand1: You saved 1BB here, he should have capped and led.

Hand2: I might argue to keep the pot small here and not raise preflop. Then lead the flop and turn.

Hand3: Played fine, he has 2 outs to your made KK.

Hand4: Feels like an A always falls when you have KK. Cant do much about that.

Hand5: CO is bad player. However, you will get beat out by these hands at times. Get on his left and isolate him.
