What would you say about the play of these hands? Would this kind of aggressiveness amount to stupidy and a leak, or something standard given the odds I have? I've been putting in a lot of time data mining myself to improve any leaks I have to optimize my play. This happens to be one of the gray areas that I think could swing either way.

Fold preflop unless you opponent is just 3-bet crazy, and just call the flop in hand #1.

I probably 3-bet KQs against the two shorties, since we get to squeeze in the CO's money. But once you get to the flop, this seems fine.

So to get to the title of your thread, you're not being too aggressive. You're just being aggressive at the wrong times.

Thanks for the input. In hindsight I agree with you on hand #1, and the villain was 3betting from the BB about 5+ times in the 75 hands he played up until that point & I had position on him. His range put me at around 40% equity preflop. After seeing that flop I was blinded by the combinations and current equity that could win the pot.

In the future I'll have to take these particular situations a little slower to avoid a large loss when my draw doesn't hit.

You may be falling victim to results oriented thinking. Barring any extraordinary read, I play both hands the same, particularly at this level.

I'd have to agree with you on it being related to results oriented thinking. Historically in my hand history these hands are paying out at a win rate of around 50%. Which in my opinion seems low considering the amount of outs.

Possibly this situation requires an adjustment for the villain depending on whether they are a loose calling station or tight aggressive player?

What are these ranges??

Are they the ranges he calls pre with, bets with, calls flop with? The range you want to be using to calculate is the range he calls your all in with, the rest of the hands are irrelevant.
