I don't have my pokertracker numbers or Hand Histories with me at the moment but will post them as a follow up to this message. I'm rated as SLPA (Slightly Loose Passive Agressive) in PT. Working on the Passive part. I've been playing for the past few months and was doing pretty good up until the last week or so. I play primarily on the 25NL tables at Party. For the past week it doesn't seem to matter what I do I can't win.

Here are some examples:

1) Hold AK in LP. One call from UTG, I bet $3, SB folds, BB calls, and then UTG folds. So its just me and the BB. Flop comes A,10, 4. I bet $5 on the flop. BB calls. Turn shows an 8. I bet $12. BB calls. River comes 6. I go all-in and BB calls. I had no read on the player since it was only a couple of hands after joining the table. We turn over and he hit the 6 for his set and takes my stack. With the board of A-10-4-8-6 I had no indication of a straight or flush. This is the kind of crap that has happened to me for over a week now. Seems like more and more calling stations on 25NL Part. Please tell me I played this right and the other guy was a lucky idiot. I'm about to lose my mind over this stuff.

2) The other scenario is that there will be myself and a couple of others in a hand and one of them will hit a set on the flop and never raise it or give any indication that they have top hand. I'm betting my top pair or two pair and get crunched when we turn over our cards. I'm pretty agressive when I think I have the hand so I'm doing what Fnord suggest...."bring the XXXXXX hammer". Result....lose my stack.

3) Third scenario.....I have KQ and flop comes AQQ. I make greater than pot bet. Get called by one person. Turn comes A giving me a Qs over Aces boat. Betting like a maniac and one guy keeps calling me. He never raises. Result - he turns over 4 Aces. He never raised preflop or gave any indication of strength.

HELP!!!!! How would you guys play these. I want to think I maybe played them wrong, but after review can't see it. Am I just on one of those bad runs where it doesn't matter what I do I'm gonna lose type of things.

By the way.....this is a great site. I don't post much as you can tell, but follow the site closely.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.
