Re: good starting hand and flop misses
What game is this? 3/6? Was the flop rainbow?
At 3/6, this isn't an easy decision and depends a lot on your opponents.
Overcards are a bitch.
More information would be helpful.

Re: Tell me again why this is horrid.
You're drawing to two outs at best. You have no backdoor draws. You're getting 25:1 to call the 3-bet, but even if you hit, you may be losing to a set of aces. And you may only have one out if he...

Re: 3/6 hand
This isn't a bad flop at all. Since MP1 is a TAG, you're losing to AA (6), KK (3), QQ (6), JJ (6), TT (3), and ATs (3). You're killing AK (12), KQ (12), KJs (3), and 99 (6), and you're ahead...

Re: 10/20 troubles
If you're living off of your bankroll, you need at least 300 BB plus the amount that you need to live. If you can live off of 200 BB, then 500 BB is fine.
Keep in mind that 300 BB is the bare...

That's probably part of the issue. You need to loosen up somewhat (relative to a full table).

Re: AQs and AQ
I agree with Rudbaeck.
But if you're holding AQs and the raiser is a bookish TAG in MP, he could reasonably have any of the following (combinations are in parentheses):
AA (3), KK (6), QQ (3),...

It sounds like you've already read Small Stakes Hold 'em (SSHE). If not, please pick up a copy.
If you have, then it also sounds like you still have a relatively small sample of hands. If you've...

Re: Ax and Kx suited
Kxs is rarely playable at 3/6. If you're in the SB and there are already five players in (four + BB), complete the bet. Similarly, I'd call a raise in the BB if I would make the hand at least...
