 You got it in good the first two hands and you got coolered the third hand. I think that even you know that you just got unlucky.

Hand #1: All-in pre w/ KK. Standard... nh
Hand #2: IMO once you call the min-raise you're committed, so it's a fold or shove choice. So the decision is how comfy are you putting your stack up against the pre-raiser, who's check-minraising you. I don't think you can assume you've got much FE w/ your shove, and assuming he's sitting on an Ax, made set or Kx/Qx flush draw it's a bit of gambool. Seems like most times I see this, I rarely like the end result if I'm not > top pair... but I'm a nit
Hand #3: Your committed w/ the cbet... nh

You played well all the hands (bet sizing, agression, etc), keep on the good job!

Hand 2 actually shows that people aren't afraid to call a 3bet pre and stack off wi AQ TPGK at NL10 as discusses in another thread

LOL! Not really man. Ok, I didnt need to post hand 1 But with the other 2 I thought I was just unlucky alright; but its too easy to tell urself youve been unlucky when you lose 3 bi's in 1 orbit. I'd rather let others take a look and give me unbiased opinions so if I am leaking, I can pluggit.
