    Default New guy in town and some questions

    Hello FTR! I'm new posting here but have been reading A LOT lately which really improved my poker, went from -$375 to +$90 just yesterday so it feels great!

    But I do have som questions about my play, especially when I have high pocket pairs, QQ-AA when I DON'T get a set, which most of the time hold up but I'm not sure it is a winning tactic. Posting some HH so u all can give me critics.

    On hand 1 I guess I should've re-raised him to see what he was on but for some reason I did not. He was alot more aggressive and I did not put him on kings but for some reason I fel like calling was the best move, what would u have done?

    Hand 2 was a horrible when the king turned up on the river, I was sure that I was beat since he called my very big raise I was sure he had at least kings or aces as well. Do you think my re-raise was too big since I lost the third guy who called the 5,5 raise? Perhaps it was better to be heads up with the JJ guy?

    Hand 3 is a hand where I probably should have layed down my aces I guess, but it was only $10 for me to call his all-in but it turned out ok anyway.

    Critcism on my play please! I am a tight-passive player but I bet big when I know I have a hand, like 6xBB standard raise in ring game and maybe some more when I got AA or KK or even AKs. I play at $50-NL @ Partypoker.

    Other than hand #1 you played well. Hand re-raise him hard. You really have no reason to think that you might be behind at this flop.
