I've dropped a little over 170 BB in the past 8 hrs, thank God party is down so I can recover a little. I feel like I'm playing the hands right, just getting bent over on every hand. Please reassure me.

Hand #1.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
Hero raises, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds.

Was the river check/call correct? I'm shellshocked at this point because it seems every pot is being runner runnered.

Hand #2.

Again, another big pot, another scary as hell river card. Another check/call in order here?

Hand #3

River: (23.25 BB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif (3 players)

Final Pot: 29.25 BB

Is the flop cap just bleeding chips here? BB is tight/passive, so for him to 3 bet me he either has the other 2 aces or KK/QQ, maybe AK, all of which I'm way ahead of. It looks like MP2 flopped a set here, maybe two pair. Too agressive? Just right?

And Finally, Hand #5.

Final Pot: 20 BB

At this point I'm certain someone is chasing their flush and got me. Where else will people call 3 bets on the turn unless at least one of them is chasing a flush. My river Check/call or right?
