My queens are killing me: find my mistakes, please! (long)
Today I have had queens ten times and I have lost six of them. I suspect that I am too aggressive with them, but can you guys tell me if thats the case?

Final Pot: $100.64 ----------------------------------- Actually looking at them hands again, makes me feel like such a donkey. Surely I am too aggressive, but I often see players raise me with crap, and that make me question every raise they make... and it obviously costs me money. |

These are sample hands. I do fold queens, but yes, not as often as I should, granted.

Are you actually thinking about what you're doing while you play? That could be a start. Put your opponent on a hand before you act. It looks like you've just closed your eyes while your brain is rattling "i've got queens! i've got queens!" over and over.

Your PF raises are too small. 4XBB + 1X per limper plz k thx.
Much of this can also be variance - if normally overly aggressive/idiot villains are raising you on the flop you can't automagically assume you're beat. You can't automagically assume you're goot neither. So errrr... yeah. |

You just turned your request for input into a bad beat whine. |
