Am I a chump?

So, i've been playing micro limits trying to figure how to win. On party $25, i ended up loosing about 3 BB/100 over 2k hands. i'm not certain i was really loosing, but i definitly had holes in my game.

Down at the micros i was winning 25 BB/100 over 700 hands, and i was felling pretty good about my game so i thought i'd give 2 tabling a try.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed)

MP ($4.34)
Button ($1.68)
SB ($1.65)
Hero ($4.98)
UTG ($1.26)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A.
UTG calls $0.02,
MP raises to $0.04,
Button folds, SB calls $0.03,
Hero raises to $0.1,
UTG folds, MP calls $0.06, SB calls $0.06.

Flop: ($0.32) K, 8, 3 [color:#0000FF](3 players)[/color]
SB checks,
Hero bets $0.2,
[color:#CC3333]MP raises to $0.4[/color], SB folds, Hero raises to $4.88,
MP calls $3.84 (All-In).

Turn: ($9.44) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($9.44) T (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $9.44


Results in white below:
MP has 8h 8c (full house, eights full of tens).
Hero has Ah Ad (two pair, aces and tens).
Outcome: MP wins $8.80. Hero wins $0.64.

So i've had a couple of hands lately where i loose to much with an overpair. How much respect do you give a min reraise?

The same time this happend i was playing this hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed)
SB ($2.11)
Hero ($5.31)
UTG ($2.12)
MP ($2.23)
Button ($2.97)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, A.
UTG folds,
MP folds,
Button folds,
SB completes,
Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.04) J, A, Q (2 players)
SB checks,
Hero bets $0.1,
SB calls $0.10.

Turn: ($0.24) 2 (2 players)
SB checks,
Hero bets $0.2,
SB calls $0.20.

River: ($0.64) 9 [color:#0000FF](2 players)[/color]
SB checks,
Hero checks.

Final Pot: $0.64

SB has Qh Ks (one pair, queens).
Hero has 7c Ac (one pair, aces).

I would have normaly bet the river on this hand, but I needed to get back to the other hand.

So now I'm running at 15 BB/100, which is still great, probably unreasonable over 30k hands. The current plan is to win 100 bucks at this level, then move up as fast as i can. I figure, once i am doing well, over a thousands of hands with multiple tables, i should be able to move up pretty quick.

Is this the multi table tuition, or do i have big problems?

I think I must have ADD but I need 2-3 tables (for ring games) to keep me attentive. However, I do start them up in stages. I find a good looking table and play about 3 circuits to get reads and notes. If it looks good, I start searching for second table. Otherwise I close it down an start over. Trying to pay enough attention to pull out initial reads on more than one table is beyond me now. It may be that your reads are suffering because of starting multiple tables at once. Try this and see if it helps.

Hand 1, raise more preflop. Rest looks fine.

Hand 2, looks fine.

No worries about multi-table play.

Though, you are most certainly a chump.

I gotta hand it to you, 'rilla: you certainly know how to tell a man something he didn't want to hear!
