You can tell Im getting crushed when Im posting a ton of hands...

PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises, 3 folds, MP3 3-bets, 4 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP3 raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 6.75 BB

I think I should've check raised the flop but Im pretty sure I'm beat. He has had hands where he went into check/call mode prematurely with some decent holdings like TPTK.

Flooding the forums with every hand in which you lost isn't gonna accomplish anything. Go over these hands on your own, then if there are still questions, come to the forums and ask.

Who said I lost every hand (besides the ones I folded)?

I'm posting hands I had difficulty playing and there were many of them, hence a losing session.

I've had many losing sessions but not once have I ever posted a "should I make this crying call with AA on a T9538 board" type of hand.

Regardless, you've posted 4 hands in the last hour...slow down, do some work on your own

I read my instant hand history screen almost as often than I look at my own tables. I rarely post so many hands in an hour. Give me a break.

3-bet the flop, the hand should play a lot different after that. You've got top pair, second kicker. Pound away. You can call down to further aggression and fold to a particularly passive read.

Regardless of whether you're beat already, you just picked up 4 extra outs. If you think that your Q outs are good, then you've got odds for this one.

Why did you fold this one? He could have many hands which you were beating. He could have AJ, QQ, TT, KQ(same as you), AQ, or some sort of flush draw.

You bet the flop, he raised you, you just called, so you weren't representing any monster hand. Then you checked the turn, so he bet to see if he could drive you out, and it worked. Maybe he had pocket 8's, maybe he just had AT clubs.

Even if he's got AA, I believe you've got implied pot odds to call the turn bet.

I'm thinking c/c, c/c, bet, myself, but someone might be able to convince me otherwise. The only typical 3betting hands that have all that many outs against you are AJs and AQ. You'd rather not run into AK, KK, JJ, or AA, and I'd rather not fold QQ, TT, or 99.

As for posting lots of hands, link.

I don't raise KQo under the gun, to many players left to act behind you.
