Hand 3 is fine.Betting smaller/Checking the flop aren't terrible options as well.Some decent amount of sets got there plus we can get him to bluff some KJ type of hands which don't have that much eq against AA.
Pick one.

@ Thanks for the analyses

just a quick update before bed. Im a bit dissapointed how i played, took a lot of marginal spots, which are prolly becoming -EV in the long run vs the population. Managed to shoot myself in the foot on quite a few occasions

    poor hand selection in this one, since prolly its better to turn something like QQ,TT, but when occasionaly I end up naked in some spots like in this one, I dont see this guy having a +EV call vs my strategy overall, unless he starts bluffing with His exact combo, no clue wtf he thinks either

              Sad story bro. Looks like you got pounded all day long.

              But to be honest with you, in my opinion close to all hands you post are missplayed. Either in general or because of limit exploitation.

              I would take a short break and take a closer look at your last sessions. Maybe there are some small mistakes too, you didn´t realize or you said it´s only 5bb here and there, nothing to worry about.

              thanks dude. I noticed the same thing in the other posts, obv yes, the hands i am posting are the hands that seemed wierd to me, or I missplayed during a session. I post them if somebody wants to give a feedback and i can look at it from different point of view or usually on the next day, I look at them with a clear mind to see if i could do something different

              ------------------------------------------

              Quick recap so far for the month. Everything was pretty good, untill i had 2 sessions where i fuked up and fired 4 tables to pump up some volume, obv shot myself in the foot with just those 2 sessions. As a goal for this month i had 60k hands 2-3 tabling zoom occasionaly playing some reg tables too. I already messed up like i said with 2 sessions where i played 4 tables, but from today up untill the of the month I wont play more than 3 zoom tables, cuz i rly have to practice execution on the tables


              month so far all 25z


              2 tabling

              Overall swingy month, with today's session we are back in the game xD. Trough my absence I was mainly thinking of a decision I have to make in the end of this month which has been a pretty tough one, but will see what happens. The other part of my time i spent on playing, since for this month I have set a goal of 60k hands 2 tabling, well a little bit cheated in the first 10 days of the month xD, but overall i think i have played ~30k hands so far 2tabling, so still we have time for some more. Words are not flowing tonight, damn , oh i forgot to mention the time for studying was spent mostly on improving how to properly barrel turn / rivers and making some major adjustments vs turn / river barrels. Overall nothing else comes to mind and will end up with that and a giraffe.

              Before to put my thoughts into this sort of "paper", Im torn between 2 things my teacher said to me a long time ago, "results means, promising yourself you will never give up" and "Give yourself a chance to change" Now the second one comes into play and there is no point kidding myself, last week was a disaster and prolly didnt have a winning day at 25nl and sort of had to step back and think over again, "clean up the neglect". Today when I log in I saw in another thread a few guys giving constructive criticism which i think was absolutely valuable and explains the situation im currently in. I will put his post in my words, cuz it fits pretty well.

              He Said, - Lets put this into perspective. I played 1 year super seriously doing it like its my job, but this is the time after this bad week, where poker put me onto my knees. It is frankly delusion and stupid if i stick with poker. The evidence is plain to see that mby Im not good enough. I put the effort I could and it didnt work out for me. That's no big deal, some people are not suited to certain things." Like i said i just changed the words to my current situation and its so true that it even hurts me to admit it. Seeing it from my current perspective, It hurts me now to see how naive I was in half of the 2016 and the mistakes and the bad approach I had back then which I would say lead me to my current situation.


              Some cliffs: Im still not sure if this is it, but damn it was a good ride. I will end it up with some graphs i have currently which are from late 2016 up untill now, if anyone has opinions / questions you are welcomed as always.
