I don't know what the hell happened to me but I'm just losing everything.
I'm getting bluffed off everything. I just suck basically.
KK, only one preflop caller to my raise.
Flop: A A Q
I think, "Oh [censored] !"
pot = 300
I bet 300.
Guy immediately reraises me all-in for $1000
I'm like. God damn. I just know he has an ace.
I fold.
He shows TT . I'm officially on tilt.
I should just stick to cash games.

Curious, why did you bet the size of the pot on the flop?

Come on dude, the fact that two aces came up and not just one should make you happy /images/graemlins/smile.gif Also, if he flopped trips or a full house, a more likely line would be for him to minraise or raise just a little, instead of chasing you away.
I would have called this, but what do I know, I just play 10+1s where there is no second level thinking /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Also I hope that you realize that two aces is much less scary than one ace, especially when he is raising you all in.

I just give up trying to figure out these guys.
Exactly what I was thinking about "why would he raise me all-in if he had trip aces"
Rewind to a few weeks ago. Maniac guy who I think put me on permanent tilt or at least semi-permanent.
I called a minimum raise preflop with AK. Maniac was just beginning to go nuts on everyone.
Me and maniac seeing the flop. Blinds were about 25/50. He had raised to 100 and I called with AK
Flop: 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif A/images/graemlins/club.gif
Ok. I check in BB because maniac likes to bet.
Maniac checks.
Turn: 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif
I bet 200
Maniac reraises all-in for 1400 or something like that.
I'm like WTF. If he had a flush why would he reraise that much and be like that. Wouldn't he raise me something that I would actually want to call.
I call.
Maniac shows 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif

hands like these have shown me that some players even at the $50s lack a basic understanding of this game

Don't go back to losing in the cash games, I don't think this forum could live on without your numerous insightfull bad beat posts and random ranting and cursing ;/

What step is this exactly? You have to vary your play A LOT between different levels. People go from weak/loose/LAG in the early stages to weak tight in steps 3 and 4 to a mix of good and weak tight players at step 5.

"I'm getting bluffed off everything. I just suck basically. "
It would appear so. Pretty much every post you make is a complaint.
