I am in a funk lately -- I can't read any hands, and I failed to make the right plays at the right time.

Here are some typical hands from my recent play. I won some, lost some, but regardless of the oucome I didn't feel comfortable with my play. So please comment on them:

I was quite lost on this dry multiway flop. Turns out I was quite behind, but I called the huge bet and sucked out by hitting my 2 outed on the turn.

I flopped a set against somebody who flopped a flush, and I didn't improve.

My AA always gets cracked when they are AsAh. Another example here.

1.
id bet this flop a lot i think. hand plays differently then. Its standard as played IMO, you cant think you are behind to an overpair on a ten high board.
2.
river wtf? I think i play this the same and probably stack off on the river and think meh nh.
3.
bet the river. Yuk to the inevitable raise, that you may have to fold to.

You played all these perfectly.
1) No way to put him on anything like QQ. Had you stacked off without a set, that might be considered spewy. If pre-flop was re-raised, I would consider folding flop.
2) / 3) good job losing the least on scary boards. Nice $0.25 river block bet, you donk!

Opponent was quite passive. If he had a naked As or Ks, missed the draw and had high card only he might call this value bet. If he had As6 or Ks6, 8s8, 7s7 or 5s5 I won't win much either because of the overcards on turn and river..

I was willing to show down my set for cheap, maybe $3 or 4 max, but I opted to bet much less so that I could still call a mild raise. But he just called $0.25 with his baby flush and I got away big time.

Hand 3 I don't know. Any blocking bet that I made would have costed more, plus I thought I could induce a bluff from a missed FD by checking ahead on river.

Hey, it worked! Although min/betting river looking for a call with A high K high is kind of silly. What's your EV there? 12 cents?

hand 2 ...bet more on the turn , lots of flushes and str8 draws out there and your giving pretty good odds ..the river play is pretty bad (by both players), yes u saved some money because he had the flush , but u should be close to stacking off here most of the time ....
