Is this a leak or am I just getting shit on by variance?

I'm confused. This kind of stuff has been happening to me so much recently that I am starting to doubt whether I am playing correctly (I feel like I am) or whether I have a huge leak in my game. This type of hand along with a giant clump of bad beats has been hitting me super hard for the last two weeks so hopefully you all can tell me if I played this alright or not.

From what I have seen this guy is just a standard 1c2c fish. Doesn't play a ton of hands and is pretty weak when he does play. I was putting him on 10s, Qs, or Js. Also sorry for showing results and not using the hand converter but I'm on my parents comp right now.

This is just a standard cooler.. he likely woulda done the same thing with a smaller overpair or top pair. Don't get frustrated.. shit happens.

Post some more hands.. one is not enough to see if you have leaks.

Standard. Reload and stay as long as this guy is still there.

how else do you suggest we play the hand?

this is as they say poker guy couldve had an over pair 7,s even you had to play it no choice you made the right it was just a bad beat I usually wouldnt fold k k without an ace on the board or an obvious draw either sometimes you win those hands with the opponent holding ace k

Looks pretty good to me. NH.

Leak. Stop letting your opponents flop trips.

Here's another hand I'm not sure if I played right. I didn't have any long term reads on this guy other than I hadn't seen him play that many hands. Although from the preflop action I was putting him on AJ+ and 1010+ although based on how the hand played out I was 95% sure I was ahead at the point I shoved. Did I play it too strongly or should I simply have called and reevaluated on the turn?

we need reads on villain in ALL of these hands. folding both hands PF are my standard plays though. 3b'ing the flop in the AQo hand really seems spewy.

In the 1st hand I just think it's funny that you say you thought his range was TT+, AJ+ PF and then say you were 95% sure that you were ahead post flop when he C/R. What were you putting him on when he C/R?

In the second hand I don't think I like the flop bet and I definitely don't like the call. The board is very wet and paired, so your draw isn't that good. Plus it's 3 way.

Raising KJs from CO isn't std for you?

Depends on how the BU / SB / BB are playing. It's hard to pigeon hole X hand into X position without knowing what is going on around you at the table.

oh whoops. i can't read these damned unconverted hands. i saw there were 6 occupied seats and hero acted first, so i though he was UTG. i almost never open fold KJs in the CO, and fwiw, i often open it even UTG, but it's not my "standard" play

Hand 1 - No problem, well played.

Hand 2 - You need a read that he's spewy/loose
to continue after the 3 bet, if he tight then folding is best
due to reverse implied odds.

Hand 3 - Of your 8 outs 2 are tainted, I think his range super strong (no Queen will do this) so fold.

Thanks.

Yeah I have KJs as a fairly standard opening hand. =\
I always forget about tainted outs

KJs open from CO is fine as a std, I assume most people will show profit from doing this. If it were UTG or UTG+1 I would say that it really depends on how you play and table conditions.
