Hand 1: Scary flop, I would bet half pot and get out if raised
Hand 2: Reraise, I would think I was ahead here
Hand 3: Why check the flop?!? Hm....he overbets the flop with no flush draw, so he might be bluffing or is playing AQ and putting you on AK. But with QQQ I think this would be a smart bet also, since KK or AA might put him on a bluff. Would need a read here! I would consider a fold, but, with a good read based on his preflop play I think I would push all in.

Hand1: Looks like flop is scary for both of you. AA may have put you all in pre flop. Would he slowplay AK, AQ or QQ ? Or is it more likely he has KQ or JJ or worse. Think I would bet 2/3 the pot.

Hand2: Most likely he is on a draw and he is hoping you are on AK and will fold to his raise. If he had an 8 or 77 would he have raised ? or would he have called ? I would re-raise.

Hand3: Checking the flop has put you in a difficult situation. It is now going to cost a lot more to find out if you are beat. He limped in then called a big raise pf, smells like a pocket pair. Without a read I fold.

hand 1: bet 2/3 the pot and fold if he push's unless he's small stacked in which case i would call.

hand 2: push you have the best hand
i would also push here probably raise to 20.

hand 3: push you have the best hand

That's just what I would do... in hand 3 he way overbet and i don't think he would play a set like that, which is all i can see beating you

oh yeah crmdefense is a terrible fish, i think i've taken over 100 dollars from him in the past. i would be really suprised if he has you beat

Basically what i'm looking for, is what I could've done to reduce my dollars lost.

Hand 1, maybe I could've bet 1/2 to 3/4 of the pot, and saved myself 5-10 bucks? I hate making weak bets though.

Hand 2, will discuss when I get more responses from the additional info.

Hand 3, ok, I could've led off by betting the pot. What if they pushed? I probably should figure at that point I'm beaten, so I could've saved myself half a stack?

1) AI preflop
2) depends on the read
3) AI

ok, so pretty much these are three hands where i am more likely than not getting destacked or losing big time?

I just want to make sure. I haven't been getting beaten bad, but it just seems like a lot of stuff like this, and that other hand where i made a sucker straight have happened, and its not that i'm ahead and getting beaten, but just its some sick luck that i'm behind...

Hand #1 - Without a read - lay it down after the flop, you're beat.

Hand #2 - Need a read. Will this guy call 4xbb pf with an 8 in his hand? Will he semi-bluff a flush draw? (if so, play it hard until a spade hits - make him pay)

Hand #3 - No overcards, his bet tells me TPTK. I would think hard about that one and probably call.

When I have KK I isolate to 1 opponent and then play the hand with caution. Look for possible flushes and, of course any A on the board makes me nervous. I just want a loose opponent to call me down on an aceless board. I'm still trying to learn is when to let unimproved Ks & As go.

Now, I've read the results and wow, quad Qs. Tough beat. That's a bad one cause if you had quad Ks you probably wouldn't have gotten any action.

what a bizzare play to make with top set and no real draw out (can't possibly think you re raised with 34!)... I think you just have to give the guy credit for reading you for over pair, because nothing besides AA KK calls there. Or, as said above he's a fish and moves all his chips in any time he flops the nuts! Unreal.
