Please don't blame me if i played it like a Nemo... I made my bets based on the instructions of the beginners section (strategy)... every "decision" was "mechanical"...

And... lol, right now i'm not so pissed with that..anymore....'cause another AA came to me 2-3 hands later (lol) and i won the pot doing the same thing...

so... i wanna know... did I lose that bcoz of that "robot thinking"? =[ should i play different on that situations?

Thanks and sorry for noobish

hi arthurhess and welcome to the forum
first of all you don´t have to apologize over and over again for asking "noobish" questions. this part of the forum is for beginners so there are no stupid questions. furthermore you just started so how the hell should you know how to play poker?

preflop is standard according to the charts of course.
the flop raise is fine because the board is very drawy and you have to protect your hand + very often you will still be ahead. the 3-bet looks kinda strong but i still tend to make the cap. he raised from utg so hands like J8, J6, 86, 88 or 66 aren´t THAT likely and he could easily play KJ or AJ that way... maybe QJs with flushdraw or something like that. JJ is of course possible but unlikely

as played the calldown is definately fine. if you cap the flop you should call down to a donk imo and if it gets checked to you i like to bet/calldown.

feel free to ask questions and post more hands

//edit: and about the "robot thinking":
you lost the hand just because you got unlucky... especially at the lowest limits many hands are just standard and the "mechanical play" is just the best way to extract maximum value because 90% of your opponents don´t have a brain anyway and will pay you off even if you have played exactly the same line like 100 times before with monster hands...
