I prematurely moved up to the .1/.25 limits because I made about 150 dollars at the .5/.10 table in less than 3 weeks and I thought I could handle it. But yesterday I lost about 30 dollars, my first money losing day of poker. I'm not properly bankrolled anyways (200 dollars) so I'm going to move back down I believe. This is my 4th post from yesterday's hands, have a look at it.

Seems like whenever I slow play, even with a rainbow flop, the worst possible card comes out, so I think i'm going to stop doing that.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) converter

SB ($6.65)
Hero ($20.55)
UTG ($31.30)
UTG+1 ($12.85)
MP1 ($12.75)
MP2 ($27.25)
CO ($23.40)
Button ($22.95)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J, A.
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, MP2 raises to $0.75, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50.

Flop: ($2.35) A, 2, J (3 players)
Hero bets $0.5, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.50.

Turn: ($3.35) Q (2 players)
Hero bets $2.25, MP2 raises to $4.5, Hero calls $2.25.

River: ($12.35) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $6, MP2 calls $6.

Final Pot: $24.35
Main Pot: $24.35, between Hero and MP2. > Pot won by MP2 ($24.35).

Results in white below:
Hero has Jd Ah (two pair, aces and jacks).
MP2 has Qd As (two pair, aces and queens).
Outcome: MP2 wins $24.35.

I think it's usually a bad idea to call a raise with AJ unless it's suited ... and even then you could get into trouble. Ideally, you want to flop top 2 pair.

... Which you did. But then you bet too little on the flop. I would have bet at least $2 here. 2 pair is not something you want to slowplay, even top 2. (Sometimes I slowplay AK x 2 ... but it can really bite you in the ass.)

After that, the Q coming on the turn was just unfortunate for you.

After the raise on the turn, I think I would have check-called on the river.
