Re: Help, am I grossly overplaying these hands? 3/6nl
You're not going to be happy with what you get...
1. Use a hand history converter so we can read your histories. Do not post the results of the hand (your opponent's holdings) if you want strategy advice on the hands.
2. You are the reason why NL is so profitable. Continuing to play 3/6NL is suicide for you.
3. Drop down to the NL10 game, or lower if possible, and read the following books, in this suggested order:
A. Ciaffone's Pot-Limit and No-Limit Poker
B. Sklansky's No-Limit Holdem Theory and Practice
C. Flynn, Mehta and Miller's Professional No-Limit Holdem ,Volume 1.
D. Sklansky's Theory of Poker (optional)
You don't "deserve" to stack someone just because you waited around for a super-premium starting hand. NL Holdem played with 100BB or more stacks is about postflop play, not so much about preflop hand selection.
If you want to go bananas every time you flop an overpair, pick up Miller's Getting Started in Holdem, and play the shortstack strategy (buying in for the minimum).
From a technical point of view, you are making the mistake of "offering your opponents too high implied odds". If you don't know what that means, don't play poker until you do. Those books will get you going.
