    Default I lost $650 last night playing mostly 50nl and a little 100nl

    I have an issue with not respecting 4bets when it's say BTN vs BB/SB or SB/BB vs BTN, or SB vs BB when I have hands like AKo and QQ

    I'm following this PF raising guide by "Poker in a Box" Preflop Strategy Guide for Microstakes.

    And the biggest hands I got involved in, it said everytime in the guide to 3bet/4bet/all in and I lost consistently.

    I need some reviews on 5 hands, because I am just bleeding money in BTN/SB/BB spots when the pot is 3bet/4bet or AI PF shoved.

    --------------------------------------------
    First one was at 100nl

    I have about 4 or 5 hands on Villain at this point, 4 handed 6max.

    Villain has 100bb in his stack and I have him covered

    VPIP 40
    PFR 20
    AGG 2.0
    3BET 25.0 (IT was presumably 0% at the time of me PFRing into him and him 3betting me)

    Hero is delt AKo in the SB

    CO folds
    BTN folds
    Hero PFR's 3bb
    BB 3bets to 10bb
    Hero 4bets to 25bb
    BB 5bet shoves 100bb
    Hero Calls

    Pot is 198bb after rake

    Villain shows AA

    Flop/Turn and River
    2c 9d 5c 4h 6h

    Villain wins $198 pot after rake
    ------------------------------------------------

    2nd hand - 6 handed 6max 50nl

    Hero is delt AKo in the BB with 121bb for stack

    Villain has 166bb and is on BTN

    Villain is

    MP1 folds
    CO folds
    BTN 3BET's to 9.5BB
    SB folds
    Hero 4BET's to 24BB (I made my 4bet a bit bigger because I was OOP and to account for larger stack sizes)

    Villain on BTN calls

    Pot is 51.5BB going to flop

    Flop comes:

    9h As Qd

    Hero leads out for 25.5 BB
    Villain flats

    Pot is 103BB

    I have less than a pot sized bet in my stack and TPTK in a 4bet pot, only hands that I think he can hold that legitimately beats me is QQ and AQ

    Hero is delt AKo in the BB

    MP1 folds
    CO folds
    BTN folds
    SB PFR's to 3bb
    Hero 3bets to 9bb (I know probably a bit small but that was the least of my worries, given it's Blind vs Blind I'm not opposed to getting it all in PF given his SB range

    SB 4bets to 27BB

    Even with the dead money, but for AA and KK, I got the odds to shove here so I shove

    ---------------------------------------------------------


    So it seems everytime I've been 4bet or had a 4bet called, at minimum I ran into QQ or JJ, every other time it seems I've been dominated.

    I also checked No Bullshit 6-Max's PF strategy guide, and it also says to shove in every spot I did.

    Granted it's only one session, but losing more than 1/8th of your bankroll in a night, mostly due to hands like this, has me re-evaluating whether that Poker in a Box strategy guide is correct on these types of things.

    Poker is cruel, as soon as I started taking shots at 100nl, I lost 1/8th of my bankroll across the past 3 sessions spanning about 12 hours.
