Okay, so this year I have decided to take poker a lot more seriously that I ever have. However, I know that in order to improve my game, I need to figure out how/why I'm losing, and since I'm pretty inexperienced, I'm looking for someone with that experience and knowledge to review some of these hands I'm going to post, and figure out how/what I could have done differently. As of right now I do not know how to look up a players stats from PT3 without actually being at a table with them, so if anyone does know how to do that, please, let me know :) . Okay I'll start it off here:

That hand I thought was a standard 'over the top'. Maybe not? I know its probably hard to figure out without stats on the particular player, however, I cannot convince myself that I didn't have proper evidence to think I was in front. Either way, what kind of stats would you look for in this spot to make this a correct 'shove' on.

Standard way losing a flip? Or would we call here and reevaluate the flop? If so, CBET? If yes, why? If not, why? How much? Fold to a shove?

Should I have folded here? With only 11 BB's I figured given my position, a shove wasn't bad. I'm probably wrong tho, would you wait for a better spot? Looking back, A4 isn't that great of a hand to shove with, perhaps I should have waited. Would you? Why?

Similar spot as hand #3, Hard to give guys credit at the $2 buy-in level, however regardless of that mistake, I'm thinking a call, CBET, fold would have been the best move. Seeing how I had 30x BB I could have probably waited for a better spot. Agree? Disagree?

Given my stack size, should this have been a shove? I was hoping for some action tho, winning 2 BB's with KK is rather annoying, however I suppose it's better than losing it all.

I figured with my Pre-Raise the only thing here I'd have to worry about is 1010+. Would anyone else have played for stacks here? or how much differently would you have played this? Maybe a fold after the shove? IMO shove looked weak, and that's why I called. Opinions?


Ill post 10 hands at a time, that way it wont be impossible to get feedback from every hand that I'm curious about. And trust me, there's a lot more to come unfortunately. Thanks for feedback!
