    Hand 1 & 2: played well and you had opp dominated and got it in as a huge favorite

    Hand 3: cooler, it happens...you were destined to go broke here

    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.

    wondering where the 3 extra chairs at my 6max table came from
    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

    all 3 ridiculously standard, just your typical mix of beats and coolers, you played them all well and this is basically a sympathy post and you know it , atleast the threads title is creative ill give you that.

    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.

    Exactly. The hand I posted on the other thread was the same type of hand as hand 2 here, and got some good advise
