How to break even

Last 2 nights, I have been sucked out on/coolered for every big pot, and not one pot was played all that bad, even though I didn't need to slowplay a couple. I looked over last nights session in Pokertracker, and thought I should make mention of the AA vs TT hand where he rivered a ten. That made 4 biggest lost pots, all suckouts, the other 3 I had all money in before the suckout, that one I paid off a bet on the river.

Well, tonight I was up over a BI twice, and twice I came back to even. It's hardly worth mentioning the wins, because it's mainly me playing my hands pretty face up and getting action. The big losses were AA vs T9 when he flopped top pair, and rivered a 9. I had only half a pot to call his river shove, so... The other hand while up around a BI again, was AK, where I 3 bet big, and was called by 2 players. The flop of K64 was almost perfect for me, and he called my cbet. So to recap, he's called PF, then called a 3 bet, now called a cbet on K64. My senses are telling me KQ/AK or AA :) Turn is an ace, and even though it does hit his AA, I can't realistically put him on that. My best hope is he'll bluff the ace here, so I check and he shoves (2/3rd pot), easy call and he has 66 of course. I don't know why, but this hurt the worst. I know every move he made was incredibly bad, and I should be happy I'm table selecting well, but this is shit. I would double up in that spot 9 times out of ten, and add the two AA hands.

Still, back to more important things. Really trying to hand read more, and it's still a little vague. I'm trying, which is the main thing, but I still feel completely lost in some spots, and rarely get thoughts about what a villain does this with. I was writing down spots in a notepad document, but it didn't really do much for me so I stopped. I think I might start looking at pots, and trying to see how to break things up more. Still I'm taking better notes which is the main thing, and using Verneers ideas a bit. For example, my notes now all have a 3 bet section first, a post flop 2nd and pf limp, pf bet ep, pf bet lp and pf call section, where I'll just record any hand I see.

Table selection is solid, and if no juicy tables are available, I can now forum surf, rather than having to jump on a table, but I've been on very juicy tables most of the time the last few nights, and it really does make poker much easier to not be constantly grinding grinders.

Overall, I'm actually super happy with how I played this last two nights, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's my best ever, but I still have so much left to work on. My biggest focus will be on trying to assign hand ranges post flop in possible big pots. I know much more where my hand stays, but still find it hard to extract/fold if I don't know what my opponent holds.
