I found myself in several situations tonight where I called out what hands I thought they had in my head(all better than mine) but I told myself why lay down QUEENS(pocket pair) why lay down this...or that because what are the chances....every hand I thought they had I was right in fact I called 2 hands in the same hand and got both right :)...both better than my queens

So...What is the advice? To trust your instinct and recognize your when you are beat by the board. That's fairly elementary. Part of being a successful player is your ability to lay down quality starting hands when you know you are no longer ahead in the hand, thus saving yourself bets that you know will likely be lost.

Yeah, Where are the advice? All of us faced up with situation like you describe.
I often keep my self with pocket Aces on flop that my opponent had three of a kind, and I should be folded, but no, I called and lose (as a result I see his card and he real had three of a kind)

it's hard to tell when the opponent has a set... and its even harder to fold a hand such as aces, like everyone i resist myself to fold a couple of aces...i think i never did hahah, hope to be more mature in the game soon and learn to fold them when my instinct tells me to!

The ability to read the opponent's hands - one of the most important. The trouble is that we do not always listen to reason. It is difficult to fold good hands.
Advice: to listen to reason.

Tilt is our biggest enemy and my advise is "Don't worry, be happy")))

Trusting your reads is important. You have to be confident in order to win.

Playing AA on flop can be tricky. I usually make about a pot sized bet on a garbage flop holding AA, if they call I ask myself why, and go from there. If they raise, I strongly consider folding right then. I think playing AA strong from the get go is the way to go, it will give you more information on what your op can be holding.
As other have stated, trust your gut. It's usually right. A lay down at a small loss, even if you had the winning hand usually pays off in the long run over playing hands you're dead on costing you tons....
