Like the title says. It's like that for a month (30k hands).

Hand 1:
PokerStars - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 135.1 BB
SB: 153.2 BB
Hero (BB): 164.4 BB
UTG: 100 BB
MP: 154.7 BB
CO: 118.3 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ A♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, SB calls 6 BB

Flop: (18 BB, 2 players) J♦ K♦ 5♣
SB checks, Hero bets 5.7 BB, SB raises to 21 BB, Hero calls 15.3 BB

Turn: (60 BB, 2 players) 3♣
SB bets 43 BB, fold

SB wins 57.3 BB

I get x raised in 3b pots like this one a lot. It's so annoying and I know that I'm gonna fold turn because I'm gonna be facing a big bet. I still call knowing that instead of folding. I just played way too many hands at micros to be good here. SOMETIMES I'm gonna be ahead but most of the time I'm just behind. Before I started studying theory , I would fold this hand without any issue. Now I have a problem folding hands like this one.

Hand 2:
PokerStars - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 123.2 BB
SB: 366.8 BB
BB: 129.1 BB
Hero (UTG): 159 BB
MP: 30.4 BB
CO: 116.2 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♣ J♣

Hero raises to 2.5 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 1.5 BB

Flop: (5.5 BB, 2 players) 7♥ Q♠ 8♠
BB checks, Hero bets 3 BB, BB raises to 8.7 BB, Hero calls 5.7 BB

Turn: (22.9 BB, 2 players) Q♦
BB bets 21.9 BB, Hero calls 21.9 BB

River: (66.7 BB, 2 players) 6♥
BB bets 96 BB and is all-in, fold

BB wins 63.7 BB

Next hand. I don't even know why I'm calling this turn bet. A nit x raises on the flop and bets big on the turn and I know that I'm gonna face a big bet on the river. What do I do? I call because it's 'correct' in theory.

Hero bets 7.7 BB, UTG calls 7.7 BB

Turn: (31.4 BB, 2 players) 9♦
Hero checks, UTG bets 21 BB, Hero calls 21 BB

River: (73.4 BB, 2 players) K♥
Hero checks, UTG bets 26 BB, fold

UTG wins 69.3 BB
This is one of the best. People limp calling like crazy. I should be happy but I hate that shit because of boards/runouts I see daily. I iso with AKo for example? Of course board comes like 467 and I can't do shit against a villain. I don't even like my c-bet on this flop but I'm starting to get tilted when I see those hands daily, really. I called turn when I know I should have folded.

Hand 4:

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has T♣ T♦

BTN wins 200.3 BB
Yeah, yeah. Of course. Hands like this daily for a month straight.

It's not even about my losing standard flips or AA vs KK etc. It's about sick runouts, all day everyday and not getting paid with value. 4 bet pot and I have aces? Villain snap folds to a small ass bet on the flop. What when I have AK? Villain calls me all day long . It's like they can't have an overpair when I have kings or aces. I have a bottom set? Of course villain folds and I can't do shit about it but when villains have a set, I have TPTK and I pay them off and the worst thing is that I pay off nits. In the back of my mind I kinda know that overfolding is the right thing to do but it seems very weak to do that. The pool seems like it's only value betting and sometimes bluffs but it's rare, especially when overbetting or using big sizes in general.

All the hands are played terribly IMO. Stop whine, improve, always do your best. Good luck!

I didn't take the time to read each hand, however I suggest that each hand would suggest that you post each hand in the NL hand discussion forum to get a detailed description of what you could have done better in each case

Not sure im in the "played terribly" camp...

But i do agree that u can improve on one (crucial) street in each hand.

I've had the exact same feeling about cash games more time that i like - its led me straight into SNG's

Playing "deeb stacked" NLHE is an art in itself - make sure thats the game u wanna dedicate ur time to - if it is; study (hard) - if not - theres alot of other interesting choices out there ;)

Take care
