help me because i'm bad

ill try to help but looking at hand1, seems like you're just steaming.

Try asking questions and critiquing your own play before asking others to do the same? You won't learn anything if you keep posting hands and asking "wat did i do wrong?". This is how a lot of people learn poker, but it's really slow.

It's imperative that you analyze each situation yourself, and ask others clear up any confusion/logic errors *afterwards*. Using a simple analogy like SC or Chess, the more you think about them, the more you are used to certain game situations. You act faster and can do deeper analysis with the extra time. (Like how no matter how bad you are at P, pylon->10/12 gate is a sequence that keeps getting ingrained in your mind the more you use it)

I mean, you got AKs in preflop against QTo. What's there to comment? 2nd hand is basically the same deal too.

oh, and re the KK fold thread:

When you finally realize that getting AA in against a player who is calling with the exact same range you would in that spot means you are making no theoretical money due to identical ranges colliding with each other, it makes no sense to tilt over these things.

girls > money

Hand 1: This is a classic example of overplaying the nuts. You cant go around getting it allin like this every time, you need to just flat his 5bet and take a look at the flop, b/c doing so will let you know whether he's on a preflop draw or has the nuts+1.

Hand 2: Now hand 2 is a similar situation. You get called on the turn, thats it, game over, it doesnt matter what you have you are simply beat.

Hand 3: So you turn the nuts, big deal, he's raising you. You know he cant have a ten, b/c you already have 2 of them, which is like half the tens in the deck. The only other thing he can have is a set, but you put him allin. Doing so removed the possibility for folding the river when he boats up, which is freaking obvious when he raises you on the turn. You could have avoided this situation by simply slowing down.

Hand 4: Same as hand 1. Why dont people like to see flops anymore? This isnt omaha where you can be dealt quad aces. You need to hit something on the flop first to see whether you can continue with the hand.
