    3 live hands $1/$2 nl..First two from Mohegan Sun.I have about $150 in ea hand.

    1) In cutoff..Folds to me and I pickup K/Q of spades..I raise to $8..Button calls,blinds fold.Flop is QH/4S/6D.. I,disguise my hand and check,button checks behind.Turn is a 10..I bet $20,button calls..Turn is an harmless 7..I bet $30,button reraises to $75.. I, with about $80 left,call the $50 and see 6/6/6..

    2)This hand is pretty standard,I think..

    SItting at the table,inactive for about 30mins..2 limpers to me,on button, and I raise to $10 with K/10 off..Flop is K-10-5..1st limper bets $20,fold,I reraise to $45,back to him and he puts me all in for my last $90 or so.. I call to see 5/5/5..
    (Did pokerstars shuffle the deck on this hand?)

    3)Foxwoods $1/$2

    Very active, aggressive table,lots of big stacks.I sit down with $150. EP has a nice stack and raises to $16..These over raises seem common at this table and do not mean A/A or K/K etc.. I squeeze Ah/Qh in sm bl..There is one caller,and I also call..I check blind, flop is A-K-3....Original raiser checks,check..Turn a harmless 6, I check,original raiser bets $35..I think he's buying the pot,I beat him all in for $100 more. He tables 3/3/3..
    I think,out of the three hands I had a chance to play #3 differently but still a tough spot none the less..

    This happened last week and I've been dumbfounded as to what I should do..I am a small time/part time player,who has had some decent success playing, whether it be online s&g's or local home games/tourneys.. As silly as it sounds these 3 hands have completely crushed my confindence and my will to make another deposit or even play with friends. Prior to this,after a nice little run online,I began to run like complete shit and gave back some profits that I had cashed out.. (See Corey356 on Sharkscope)
    Silly me,I thought I'd hit the casinos to play some live games,cuz that would certainly change my luck.
    The sick thing is that these 3 hands occurred probably withing 2 total hours of play,at different sessions of course.How can someone hit a set on me 3 times with extremely favorable flops for my hand??

    Anyways,Thanks for reading my rant.. Even if noone replies,I guess I feel somewhat better just typing out all this bullshit!
    Thx ,Greg

    Hey,

    The last 2 hands are pretty standard setups with how deep you are sitting, i dont see how you dont go broke. But the first hand on the river i dont really see what you are beating vs his value raise unless he is a complete donk and youve seen him do the same thing in similar spots.

    GL with your game
