It may feel like that, but I bet your hand histories don't say that. It's very common to try to make a better story, but that gets in the way of obtaining accurate advice.

He is correct. I don't know if you pokertracker or not, but I always thought the same way you did until I have PT. I was surprised to find I was winning 58% with AKo and 53% with AKs.

Like earlier posters have said, you may want to vary between limping in raising. And not bet so much on your cbet.

I think that he was talking about hitting the flop. But I really think that other then when your not taking the pot down by cbetting you need to look at how often your are stacking off with one pair.

I think this is most peoples biggest leak is not being able to get away from TP/TK. I would say if you have poker tracker then look through your biggest losing hands and figure out what you could have done differently to either lose less or get away from the hand.
