How do you read trips or high pocket pairs post flop?
I get knocked out a lot when the board comes 2, 6, 9 and I have pocket QQ/KK/AA thinking I have the best hand only to lose to trips.
I also lose a lot with the same board and say A9, thinking I have top pair and losing to pocket KK.
This happened several times this weekend and I for some reason I can't get away from these hands.
My first night of SNG's I won 3/5 and came in second 1 of the times I didn't come in first.
Over this weekend I placed once, barely. I started at $50 14 days ago, got up to over $100, and am now back down to $62.
It just seemed like anytime I got a decent starting hand the flop would totally miss me. I expect it to happen for maybe a couple SNG's, but this was ALL weekend long. Then when I did get a decent hand I'd lose to sets or higher pocket pairs, see above.
I don't feel like a complete loser, I made some good all-in calls with the best hand pre/post flop only to lose on the turn/river. I expect this to happen occasionally, but it just felt like it was happening way to frequently to blame luck.
Any insight would be appreciated,
