JKDS is on a distinguished road
 H1: zomg you got it all in and lost? thats not supposed to happen wtfm8?

H2: raise a lil' bigger pre. if bb is a calling station from the blinds, raise biggerer. Flop isnt bad...he might do this with flush draws, might do it with AK, KQ type hands...or he might only do it with the nuts. Reads are good.

H3: terrible 3b size preflop. postflop...it looks like your thinking "i must bet small to get called...o shit Qs panic panic bet large to bluff QJ off his hand". on the Q, flush draws arent a large part of his range, and its dominated by Jx type hands so betting so much on the queen likely folds a bunch out. KsJs and AsJs are exceptions of course.

Pre-flop AA is obviously the nuts, so your aim should be to get all your money in against one or maybe two opponents. (The more opponents, the lower your chance that your AA will be the best hand at the showdown). So at micro stakes with AA, open raise (but not AI, as that just drives people out) and re-raise other's raises, particularly if you think they will call/raise your re-raise.

After the flop, if you still just have AA, then you have a good hand, but one that is not likely to improve. That does not mean you should go all weak tight and fold at the slightest sign of resistance, but you you should not marry your hand either and it may be that you should fold.

A flop of QcJcTc is a really bad one for AA, if you don't have Ac. That flop is going to hit many hands that stay in pots that were raised pre-flop and you might well need to consider folding, depending on how the hand is played out. Kh8c2s is a lot safer flop. But AA can lose to 5h2h, as many can testify, so you need to play AA aggressively and bet out on flops like that.

Hand 1 - Re-raise his $1.20 raise more to something like $4. He has shown he likes his hand, so your are likely to get a call and maybe hit the jackpot of him going AI, which in fact he did. Your AA is 80% to win, so 80c of every dollar put in pre-flop is "yours". Unfortunately, in this case the 20c of every dollar that was his prevailed.

Hand 2 - I would have bet $0.40 from UTG pre-flop. Post-flop, when he raises to $6.30, you have a difficult decision. From what you have observed so far is he the kind of player who would call a pre-flop raise with K4, K2, 42, 22, 44, KK, A3, A5, 35 or any 2 spades? You raised his original flop bet indicating a strong hand and then he shoved over. Would he do this with a hand you beat like, AK, KQ, KJ, KT or two spades?

Hand 3 - Re-raise more pre-flop. $1 is a nice round number. You are very likely to be ahead on that flop, so bet more say $1.25. Nice bet on the turn. The way he played, it looks like he is slowplaying a set made on the flop. But he also could have AQ, KQ or some kind of draw, so I would have called his AI getting 4 -1.

It better not to post results - its easier to say I would have called in hand 3 when I know he did in fact have a draw and you got unlucky. Again!
