I just don't get it, these are my last 3 hands on pokerstars .... I can honestly say that getting sucked-out against isn't a rare occurance, this happens at an alarming rate ... what is it that I can do? What did I do wrong? Does anyone else have this trouble on this site or is it just me? Anything anyone can offer to find my sanity would be greatly appreciated.

Hand 2

This is fine. I would have probably pushed after you were re-raised preflop seeing as though you are short stacked.

Hand 3

I don't want to sound harsh, but this is an exact example of how not to play pre -flop. The initial raise from EP wasn't that bad IF you were doing it purely to mix up your play every once in a while, but usually this should be in the muck. To then call the re-raise OOP which was 25% of your stack is just giving money away. Sure, you hit this flop, but the majority of the time you're not going to hit. Even when you catch a T or a 9 there will be an overcard and your opponent has already told you that he has a premium hand.

RIGGED!!
