I have at the moment a real big downswing so I started to analyse my hands and start to post some of them where I loose some big pots or don´t knwo exactly if I played them correct, so, here is the start:

My stack is down to 4,xx after I called an all in on a 7c 6c 9d flop with JJ, the turn was 6d and the river 8d and he showed Ks Ts.

And then came this hand:

was it correct to call the raise with my whole stack in the flop?

reload preflop. Had your opponents had real stacks you could have made a lot more money on this hand.

The whole point of playing smaller pocket pairs like that is to try and flop sets. Get your money in the middle while you have the best hand.

Pre-flop is a bit close because of your limited stack. The two others coming in behind you negate that mistake (if it is one) but think what would happen if (1) they both fold or (2) one of them re-raises.

The flop went dream-like for you. If you lost this you made quite a few Sklansky bucks.
