So i was looking at some Live NLHE resources in ROI and it seems all those are for elite membership. So like can i get some info about few more live NLHE stuff , resources ? Will be a great help. Thank you.

So this happened twice today , i am sorry i cannot post a hand history. But the first one was AAo(MP) against AKs(EP), it was the final table and i had around 18BB and my opponent was holding around 22BB or so, i 3bet his bet and he went all in, quite obvious I called ..the flop was 92Qr
10 J. He won with a straight busting me out at 9th place.
In the second one(blinds(500/1000)) I (AA/UTG+1) was up against KQ(MP) and being the chip leader (20BB or so) my opponent had 6BB left...i raised around 4BB and MP went all in with KQ , the flop came 85Qr 7 K , he won with 2pairs. It all went downhill after that and i was soon kicked out of the game.
Those beats have really affected me and i want to know if those are variance,coolers , just my shitty luck or did i play it wrong...i just cannot fold Aces that also in the mid/late blind level ..i mean i could have won both of the tournaments and won some serious money if only things had gone a little planned.

I have knocked myself out trying to play pocket pairs more than anything else, mostly in the mid blinds when i start to loosen up a bit i usually limp with 22-77 and raise maybe 2-3.5x with 88-AA(things change with position tho) , so that my opponents cannot have a clear idea about what i am holding, however sometimes with QQ,KK,AA i do raise a bit more..but the problem is i am just fed up of losing with them, i dont know why everytime theres an overcard on the flop which belongs to my opponents range, or whenever i am short stacked and i go all in with say 99, against a LAG or a HBL(high blind limper).. i usually find myself against a premium hand like KK or whatever..is this variance? or am i playing bad? i am sorry i cannot post a hand history as i mostly play at a local site, do you guys face this too? If you know of any nice video or article which explains how to play pocket pairs perfectly please comment the link, i will be really glad . Thank you.

How should one play pocket pairs(22-JJ) during the low blinds? If i play aggressive and someone calls i am always at a risk of losing to a set or a better pair, if i play passive i might lure more players and fail to capitalize on the dead money

Really sorry for making that weird request but i need a poker friend with whom i can review and share hand histories, on the plus side i am also going to review your actions if you want, i am a rookie though... trying to push myself everyday and i think this will help both of us like nothing else. I am 23, hailing from Kolkata,India and if you are interested ping me at [email protected] or +918017068132. Adios!
