    Default Tell me if these are coolers

    I'm calling these coolers but I want to make sure I played them correctly. Down about 5.5 buyins in 2 hours today, something has got to be wrong.

    Hand #1:

    This guy's 47/8/2.6 relevant note says he's a station post-flop, I honestly have no clue how his aggression factor got so high because he's really not a maniac. I think it's confused because he makes a lot of weak bets to steal orphan pots.

    played at "Kitwe" for USD RM from 1969-12-31 18:59:59 until 1969-12-31 18:59:59

    Seat 1: expertx ($96.30 in chips)
    Seat 2: viangsueb ($151.95 in chips)
    Seat 4: AlexisKaa ($123.15 in chips)
    Seat 5: Galapogos [ K,K ] ($110.30 in chips)

    Antes/Blinds
    AlexisKaa posts blind ($0.50), Galapogos posts blind ($1).

    Pre-Flop
    expertx folds, viangsueb bets $4, AlexisKaa folds, Galapogos bets $13, viangsueb calls $10.

    Flop [board cards: Q,5,T ]
    Galapogos bets $20, viangsueb bets $40, Galapogos bets $76.30 and is all-in, viangsueb bets $97.95 and is all-in.


    I really felt I should have been able to get away here, all I really beat is AKs don't I? Which BTW, I see this type of player being more likely to call with. Semi-bluffing draws so aggressively on this site is such a rariety if I had seen him do it in the past. Or does the donk factor outweigh all of this?


    Hand #2:

    Can't remember his exact stats but he's another 48/8/2 type.

    played at "tjuvfiske's HE" for USD RM from 1969-12-31 18:59:59 until 1969-12-31 18:59:59

    Seat 1: MrTilt22 ($94.50 in chips)
    Seat 2: bloulis ($196.95 in chips)
    Seat 3: Galapogos [ K,K ] ($149.55 in chips)
    Seat 7: onthecoast ($91.85 in chips)
    Seat 9: plyboybinnyx ($108.40 in chips)
    Seat 10: summ07 ($196.80 in chips)

    Antes/Blinds
    Galapogos posts blind ($0.50), onthecoast posts blind ($1).

    Pre-Flop
    plyboybinnyx bets $4, summ07 folds, MrTilt22 folds, bloulis calls $4, Galapogos bets $18, onthecoast folds, plyboybinnyx folds, bloulis calls $14.50.

    Flop [board cards: 3,8,2 ]
    Galapogos bets $30, bloulis calls $30.

    Turn [board cards: 3,8,2,J ]
    Galapogos bets $101.05 and is all-in, bloulis calls $101.05.


    The pot is $99 at this point, any bet commits me and there's still the flush draw out there (which idiots like this would sell their own mother to hit) and I beat QQ.


    Hand #3:

    An awkward spot with a shortstack. He bought in with a full buyin but has whittled it down, missed any major hands he lost in.

    Really basic shit, I know, but I'm questioning everything today

    I mean wow I don't think PokerStars players can even comment on any of these because they're so standard here, you must play on a really weird site.

    They all look alright to me. No glaring errors. I think the closest one may be villains min raise on the flop in hand 1 although i think i play all these hands pretty similar to you most of the time and these are mostly just coolers/bad luck.

    all hands look pretty standard with the "damn it why is this standard" thought process.

    hand 1 is the least standard of the 3, but its still standard.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Hand 1 is only bad if hes super super passive. If hell do this with a Q (which most players like this seem to) then its good.

    The others look really really standard.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.
