You are playing a variety of hands, which is fine. However, you only raise your premium hands. This is stupid (no offense intended). Stop open limping with speculative hands like JK, 67s, and small pocket pairs. For example if you are one off the cutoff, it is folded to you (or even one limper) and you feel like playing one of these hands, RAISE it. Limping does no good for you. Chances are the players behind you don't have anything spectacular and may fold. If the call, they will probably miss the flop. So if you cont bet, you take down a nice size pot with relatively low risk.

If you look at your QQ stats, you are winning with it about 2/3rds of the time... but you are in the red with this hand. You are winning only 25% of the time at showdown with this hand. This leads me to believe that you are getting too deep and going too far with one pair too often. The AK stats also seem to confirm this. Learn pot control and always evaluate where you are in the hand.

Post some QQ, KK, AA hands that you have gone deep with and I would bet that there are some holes that you could fix immediately.

Thanks for all advice!!! My problem is that I only play premium hands at UTG or MP and i will raise them. People know that I am tight and know that I will c-bet most of the time. That's why sometimes i get bored and play marginal hands when button comes to me.

Everytime I flop TPTK, i protect my pot too much from flush draw and so forth and bet pot almost every single time. Around 70 % of the time, all folded, while the remaining 30% they have monsters and I don't want to lay down the hand.

Hands such as this one: Am I being too aggressive???

This one with AKs... I want to narrow down the field preflop, didn't expect them to call... but hey!! I got TPTK! What now? Of course i am going to take down the pot! Hell... they both have monsters....
