Hi
I will post a couple of hands that illustrate a problem I'm facing on the lower limits ($0,04/$0,10). The thing is that, even with a big raise before the flop and nothing really scary on the flop, overpairs (including AA) are making me lose money.
Preflop: Hero is BB with A :club:, A ![]()
UTG+1 raises to $0,24, 5 folds, BU calls $0,24, SB folds, Hero raises to $0,60, UTG+1 calls $0,36, BU calls $0,36.
Flop: ($1,82) Q :diamond:, 5 :heart:, 2
(3 players)
Hero bets $1,00, UTG+1 calls $1,00, BU folds.
Turn: ($3,82) 7
(2 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $2,56 (All-In), Hero calls and is all-in, UTG+1 calls and is all-in.
River: ($13,37) T ![]()

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q
, Q ![]()
UTG+2 raises to $0,20, 4 folds, BU raises to $0,60, SB folds, Hero calls $0,56, UTG+2 calls $0,40.
Flop: ($1,82) 2 :spade:, 6 :spade:, 8
(3 players)
Hero checks *, UTG+2 checks, BU calls and is all-in, Hero calls $1,94, UTG+2 folds.
Turn: ($5,70) 5 ![]()
River: ($5,70) J ![]()
* I checked here because BU was very aggressive, and he pushed pre-flop too

These are not isolated cases. I've been consistently losing money with good hands, like AA, because of this. This is really affecting my game, as I don't feel confident enough in some hands, even though I'm supposed to be ahead. Any thoughts?
