after over 30 games at the 10$ level, im at best even. probably down 1 or 2 buyins, i dont feel like going through my logs at this moment.

it seems i keep getting pushed off my chips early, so im probably doing something wrong. i will post some examples.

blinds 10/20
QQ UTG.
I raised it 100. 5 call.
flop Jc 7d 2d
pot is around 600. everyone has 1400 in chips.
i bet 400. 2 call.
turn As
one of the blinds fires 1000 allin. i fold.

all streets standard play, or where do i need to adjust?


another 10/20
dealt AKc in EP. i raise to 100. 2 call.
flop 8c 5c 5d. i fire out 200. 1 call.
turn Kd. i bet 500. call.
river blank. i push, he calls. 88 fullhouse.

over aggressive here?

blinds 25/50 dealt KK. i just made a steal attempt the hand before, with J9s. the blind called me, and the flop was jack high, so i played aggressive and he called me down with an unimpoved AQo.

I raise 100 to 150 (just as i did the previous hand)
the blind miniraises another 100. i raise another 500. he calls.
flop Q 9 4r
i push he calls.
shows KJo
turn T. no help on the river.

probably just unlucky that time?


blinds 15/30
dealt 44 in LP
2 call before me i limp. sb calls. bb checks.

flop Jd 9d 4c
checks to me, i bet 3/4 of the pot. 2 call.
turn As
BB minibets 30, i raise the pot. he calls other guy folds.
river 7. he minibets again, i raise he reraise i call.
77 for a bigger set.

last example for now.
5 handed blinds 25/50
im dealt ATs in MP. folds to me, i raise to 150.
CO calls. everyone else folds.
flop Ac Tc 9d
i bet the pot, thinking i got called by a bigger ace and want to get paid off for catching my 2 pair. he calls.
turn 7d
i fire another pot sized bet. he calls.
river 8d
i bet again, he raises me what i have left (not much) and i call. he turns T6d straight flush.

from my estimation it seems as though im running into bad luck, but maybe im putting myself into situations i shouldnt be in which wouldnt give bad luck a chance. am i being over aggressive and they think im bluffing so im getting called down by rags? i know 34 matches is a small sample but hands like these mixed with lost coinflip and 3 to 1s will make your headspin and if theres something i can fix id be glad to take any advice. thanks for reading
