HU NL50: Am I overvaluing big pocket pairs?

[GaF]

I'm struggling at the moment. Really struggling. I've just dropped nearly 5 buy ins against a player I'm pretty confident is a bad player. He was loose. Very Loose. He didn't play position. And he seemed to hit everything (and then I paid him off). I am seriously wondering if I'm overplaying my big pairs, and building too big a pot with what is just 1 pair. I wanted to post the hands I lost, for feedback, but that would just look like bad beat posts. I dont care if I lose pots. I do care about making the wrong decisions. So the way I thought I'd get around it is by posting all of my Big Pairs (AA, KK and QQ) from this month that went to showdown. There are 16 hands, and over the 16 hands I made a profit of 60xBB (All In EV is 100xBB). I feel that my profit should probably be bigger. So I'm interested - which of these hands do you feel I played badly? Which of these hands should I have laid down before showdown? I appreciate that I'm not giving any player information, so probably a bit of an "how long is a piece of string" question :unsure Hand #1 Poker Stars $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 2 players - View hand 1235491 DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter Hero (BB): $111.40 BTN/SB: $105.30 Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with A A BTN/SB calls $0.25, Hero raises to $2.50, BTN/SB calls $2 Flop: ($5.00) 3 4 7 (2 players) Hero bets $5, BTN/SB raises to $10, Hero raises to $40, BTN/SB raises to $70, Hero raises to $108.90 all in, BTN/SB calls $32.80 all in Turn: ($210.60) 9 (2 players -
