Im down 4 buyins at 100NL -- biggest loser is AA. Am I overplaying? It seems like the only money being made at this level is cracking AA and the random flush over flush / set over set. I dont get it. I feel like I'm playing way better than my opponents -- but if they dont pay out wheres the money?

hand 1: i raise 6x. 4x+limpers right? meh. i call the flop min-raise and re-evaluate on the turn. i don't think draws play this strong.

hand 2: i'm uncreative. i shove preflop (whoops not an sng). 4bet $50. put the rest in on any flop. as played...looks good.

hand 3: this didn't need to be posted. you got'em all in preflop. can't play aces better than that.

hand 4: yeh.

you just look like you got coolered if you lost all of these. but what do i know, i'm still donking away buyins like nobody's business...

Numbr2intheWorld will become famous soon enough

Hand 1: I prob raise to 6 pre, not a big deal though. This is pretty bad deep, fold to his 3-bet.

Hand 2: LOL dude, you absolutely have to put a 4-bet in here.

Hand 3: is perfect

Hand 4: i probably reraise to more like 22 here. Bet closer to 30 on the flop. And you aren't folding here ever, BTW.

1 & 2 are suicide, 3 & 4 are standard

In general you need to reraise (or reraise more) Pf, its seems as you try to trap too much, try to get money in the pot a lot, instead of just playing them strong.

Once you start winning >90-93% with AA, then you can start about thinking of more optimal ways to trap opponents and stuff like that. Just play them super strong especially preflop, for now

Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

Hand #1: His bet does not want you to fold. Call down if it's going to be cheap enough. But you are beat here.

Hand #2: Don't get cute, 4-bet that mutha.

Hand #3: Got it all-in preflop, mission accomplished.

Hand #4: Reraise preflop more, I do 3.5x initial raise plus the amount of dead money in after it. So I would have made it around $27 here.

From someone who doesn't really know how to play poker either ...
1) I would call the flop and try to get a cheap show down. I wouldn't push there ...
2) I would reraise PF to like $40 and just shove the flop.
3) Looks good to me ...
4) I would raise to $27 PF like Galapagos said. The rest of the hand looks okay to me though?
