Lose Lose Lose

Decided to do my Iron Man at 11:00pm instead of trying to fit it in during the day tomorrow. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't, because this was one of the most demoralizing sessions I've played in a while.

Hand #1
I really need to be betting the flop for value against QQ and JJ, but ever since I realized that people flat 3bets to setmine, I've been paranoid about running into a set. I don't think check/calling is that huge of a mistake because I do think he bets QQ and JJ there a lot. But even as played, my God, why can't I just fold the turn? He makes it so easy for me. He  might bet QQ or JJ on the turn but I don't think he ever sizes it like that with anything except AA or a set hoping I have QQ+ and am not good enough to fold. And I do. And I'm not.

Hand #2
Again, I check after 3betting with KK, but in this case I think it's more justified because QQ and JJ have sets and I also get shipped on by lots of naked spades. Unfortunately, it makes it really difficult to play the turn. After the bet and call, I strongly consider folding, but talk myself into calling because they can have AQ or a naked spade. It's probably a fold. Then on the river I feel like I'm priced in, but I don't know if even terrible players play AQ like that. It's probably a fold.

Hand #3
I strongly considered folding after the short button shipped the turn, just because I don't think he checks the flop with QJ, which is the only value hand I'm beating. I tank for a while and end up calling and praying that he has QJ, which I think is a pretty big mistake. Then the other guy ships and I tank again because I have no idea what he can have. I end up timeout-folding, but I was really close to calling, which would have been awful.

These are all big and fairly obvious mistakes, and it's really frustrating to watch myself continue to make them. Guess it's just more evidence for my theory that I have some sort of poker learning disability and I'm doomed to be terrible forever.
