Fold? call down? I'm guessing fold, as its a tiny pot.

Frankly I'm frustrated as hell. I'm getting "tricked" over and over again by other players and I'm spewing chips. obviously this "gives away" the results of the hand. I'm reading and re-reading SSHE and trying to apply the contents. I just feel that recently I've been playing really really badly and paying for it. I need to fix A LOT about my game and don't know how to begin. These hands are endemic of what I've been experiencing. Add in that I'm winning mainly small pots, I can't get any takers when I've "got the nuts" Am I just playing with too many tricky players? </font>

another hand. Villain is 53/4 over 90 hands.

I have TPGK, I'm 3betting here with no hesitation, but wary of any resumption of agression from villain.

Ok, I'm unsure of my position here. Fold to the raise? c/f the river?

Calling down hands 1 and 3 is fine. Hand 3 is the shadiest call down, but in a HU blind war, you're going to play a lot of hands that leave you feeling like a moran if you're playing right.

Hand 2 is standard.

Only thing I do different is bet the flop in hand 1.

you guys are serious?

ok. I'm just doubting everything about my game lately. Having nonstop luckbox exposure doesn't help. (not a whine, without feedback from this community it is near impossible to determine if one is playing well when probability is making you its bitch.) ok. thanks for the input. Will keep on studying, reading posts and will try to respond to more.
