Been playing decently lately, but getting EV smoked. Still don't feel like I'm playing optimally though. Every session I can point to at least $1k of "avoidable" losses.

I'm calling too many river bets, especially in spots where a street gets checked back.

here are some examples of spots I'm calling rivers, that I feel are bad.

Hand 1
-villain isn't that aggressive, which makes me think its even more polarized to Kx or nothing. Someone more aggro could show up with more pairs here <Kx $5/$10 No Limit Holdem

Hand 2
-villain is the mark at the table, mega laggy and pretty aggro
-not sure about this river call, its potentially close either way, his sizing maybe makes it a fold

Hand 3
-villain is somewhat taggy, and my line here looks like a missed draw
-I wasn't even sure if AK/KQ would bet here, if he had those hands, or not. Anything stronger than AK would be 3betting the flop
-QJ,AJ stuff could play like this. But looking at it now, J9 could as well, and Ilose to that

Need to bring my wtsd down for sure. That's a perma problem though, I call tons in these smallish sized pots. WTSD of almost 31% this month, which is a little ridiculous. won at SD 49.2% which I suppose isn't too bad.
