Man, I've been working a good bankroll on PS and suddenly on 10 hands that look just like these or where I have a full house but someone rivers a better full house I lose everything. Am I doing something wrong in these hands or am I just having bad runouts? Wtf?

Hello, first thing which I see, You don't play with full stack (100bb).
Spot with QQ is cooler, size cbet and raise should be bigger. Hand with AA, overbet on the river is mistake if You ccbet on the river I use smaller sizing. Spot with A9o I fold after check-raise on the flop. On microstakes more players use this for value more times not bluff. 22 I fold preflop on CO here.

Yeah, I don’t play with full stack because I’ve lost my money as I said.

As for the rest thanks for the tips!

Most are standard bad beats. A9o you should check back in multiway pot

Not sure what kind of bankroll management you are using, but that could be a issiue as well.
I would for example only start playing NL5 if I have a bankroll of at least $100.

The hands are basicly standard indeed. QQ I would Cbet at least 15bb in a multi way pot with top set.
AA I would raise 3x pre-flop, but the rest seems standard and I would Cbet around 20bb on the river.
A9o I would raise 3x with 1 limper in the hand and check behind the flop with middle paitr in a multi way pot. Now you need to fold against the check/raise. Turn play is standard as played.
22 is well played and lucky for you villain isn't raising the river.

Cheers,
