And here are my thoughts:

1) STD I guess.
2) I hate the flop minraises. They make me puke. I feel like I'm fucked every time i have any hand thats not a set and i should just bet/fold every flop without set/2pair/nut redraw.
3) SB minbet donks. I raise, he minraises. What the flying fuck, I'm never good here. ALL IN!
4) Pretty much the worst board on the planet. But the river bet isnt even a PSB and I've seriously underrepped. I dont know. Fuck AA.
5) STD i guess
6) Turn is a big what the fuck for me. River is a big what the fuck for me. River bet is probably too small, but I cant see him having much besides two pair or air.
7) I should have raised this flop. This one was retarded, but i didnt see any value to raising the turn/river. He's obviously weak so letting him bet is probably better than trying to get him to call.
8) STD
9) STD but I raised a bit more pre than necessary (ive noticed my 3bets and shit get called with the same shit no matter if theyre 3x or 6x so i might as well pump it higher when ive got a good hand)
10) Ugly flop. I think turn and river are ok, no real value in raising cuz nothing calls that I beat.
11) big wtf on this one. Guess I have to raise the flop.
12) Paired boards make baby jesus cry. But i guess this one is ok, if weak.
13) STD
14) STD
15) EZ MONEY
16) Hard to go wrong going in with AA pre, but 4bet shove OK?

[wufwugy]

You're not making any glaring, repetitive mistakes. And even if it looks like you are it may be due to HUD stats or whatnot you didn't provide.

Being flop minraised (or just raised) after PFR and C-bet is very tricky indeed. However, you are wrong about needing > 1 pair to continue (may seem like that, though). It's very situationally dependent. Sometimes an LP raise will be called by KJs and your C-bet will be minraised on K65. I oftentimes go into pot control/call down mode after something like that. Depends, however, and I'm far less likely to do it if villian is in or gets in felt mode.

[euphoricism]

I didnt win a single one of these hands. This is why I asked. I'm glad none of them are awful, that just means i run bad.

[wufwugy]

Holy shit, you didn't win any? Damn. You do run bad. I have run pretty shitty too, if it's any consolation.

And FWIW, aces is probably my least favorite hand to play. Too often do you either 1) have your opposition crushed, or 2) are paying his electric bill; yet it's too often so difficult to know which one it is.

When it c omes to close AA situations, I don't really know what to do.

[Ash256]

Sick! Most of those were standard, I've just got the odd niggle, similar to what you mentioned, e.g. raising the flop in 7. Hope you run better soon.

[bigspenda73]

OMG, who would've guessed?

15) EZ MONEY

lol... sorry to hear about the shitty run dude. things will turn around for you eventually. Keep playing solid poker, treat each hand as a new begining to your career.

[euphoricism]

fucking turn ;]

This is where I started to go gunshy, and thats the lst hand I played before i shut it down and posted this. I knew I was playing differently at that point.

I'm only down a little over 2 buyins in my last 10k hands, but I'm trying to figure out why. Most of those werent full stack pots.

[euphoricism]

WEEE it made up for itself today. +6.5 buyins hehe.
