My queens are killing me: find my mistakes, please! (long)

[darom03]

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?

Key hands with queens:

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.

[gimmetheloot]

you dont fold them?

[darom03]

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

[Tarheel]

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.

[cata1yst]

Hand 1: Fold flop
Hand 2: Fold turn
Hand 3: Fine
Hand 4: Fine

Hehe, thats exactly what happens. I even put on "we are the Champions" while I celebrate [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

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.

I see nothing wrong w my preflop raises. 3,5x BB is fine IMHO.

w. 1 limper, I make it 4xBB

Seriously, if you don't want advice, don't ask for it. You just turned your request for input into a bad beat whine.

Actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule...

I assume people do this because they know it makes other people want to smack them? Just curious...
