Your weak bets suck:


Bet like $1 on flop. (Your calling the raise on the flop also sucks - Here I like a 3bet and get it all-in right there.)

If you're gonna bet that turn bet like 2.75 - 3 on the turn.




Sometimes people flop sets against your AA/KK or other overpair. Sometimes you should fold your overpair. This is not one of those times IMO:

Make a real flop bet and if he raises you then reraise.




Also don't show results. It can bias people's opinion.

bet $1 on the flop.. you're usually ahead. Decisions are always made easier when you bet 2/3-3/4 of the pot. If he raises from there I think you go with your read and it becomes a 3-bet push/fold situation depending on stats on opponent. FWIW betting the turn that small is awful against any opponent showing strength on the flop.
