Without telling us what flop/turn/river is this will be quite impossible

At this point in time i can say i won with all possible hand and lost with all hand except Royal Flush.... each hand can be a strong or low hand at any given time in a game .... you can start with AA and lose to a 2.3 or you can win ... many hands are won and lost at the LAST dealt... you need a lot of concentration to keep and eye on all the cards/ possibilities that can be ....guts... and some luck ...

Okey so i am now trying my hand at the cash tables after some luck at the mtt and sng , started the game quite well , but then i really think that i did a mistake there , by making an agressive play on outs and could be that i was already far away as it was , so i am asking other players what do you think about this hand and how did it go http://www.boomplayer.com/lv/poker-hands/Boom/10289097_...

It's not what i am asking , I am asking do you think is it a reasonable show there or I over extended my hand there , that's what i want to know ... As well something have changed , nothing that i have changed in my game at MTT and SNG , but there have been some deep runs even first places from a long time ...

No the only thing I wanted to show you is another (one of dozens) weakness in your mindset. If you won the hand there would have been no way you would have questioned your play here. As for the hand, postflop play is fine as long as you think you have fold equity at some point, however I don't grind cash and never studied it deeply so I'm not sure.
My opinion is that you have leaks of course, I think you know that yourself, but what's your weakest point is your mindset, that keeps you away from improving your game as well.

Well it's just that i had a very very very bad start after a break of almost a year and when i came back i saw that the cards are really going the other way , people with worst hands winning almost every time i get close to the cash , it's fine when time from time it happens , as well if i have a bad run for more then fue games , but it should be like 1 out of 10 when i take atleast deep run and make a good cash in with my tactic of the game as it worked well back then ...
Something have changed and now i have been able to make some deep cash in's , so now i am feeling quite good ...
And about the hand , not really , as i am not so good at cash games , but i am willing to play one cash game table in my sesion and see how it works , as for now it's working pretty good so far , but still have to learn a lot ...

Yeah but like I said, this is totally normal based on the volume these situations occur over. Maybe before your break you ran better and thus you didn't notice the beats too much. All that helps is grinding better volume and getting used to it, because it happens to everyone, good players and bad players. But you must not look at individual bad beats. What counts are the overall results that come with them, and then again, these don't matter over such small sample. I could easily fill 20 of such posts on a normal playing day to say the least, but that comes with me playing the volume you've been playing this year so far, on a hard grind I'd play that in a week. I'm not saying you have to grind like a robot now or something, but if you up your table count to the point where you can still play profitably you will also overcome the bad streaks in less time.
------------ As for the AKs hand, it's very villain-dependant if I'd 4bet preflop here. Vs. a considerbly tight 3bettor I'd rather flat the 3bet because we play OOP ppstflop. However, you should be wantimg to get it in preflop vs. most (especially at these stakes). Flop bet is fine, also the size, so well played IMO. Don't confuse this with a made hand. You have a Nutflushdraw with 2 overs, which is a strong hand to semi bluff, but it's not a made hand, so you can be happy with the outcome. The goal is to either take down the pot or to get much value in if we do hit our made hand.

Max for me is 4 tables , but i know that i am playing bad then if it comes to 4 tables , as i keep playing over passive mode then , so i prefer 3 tables at a time only ... And before i was playing only 1 table at a time , so it's obvious why i was so mad then , as i played like 8 or more hours a day and get only min cash for all day , i kinda can't see anything els besides to get mad at poker ...
------------ Seems again into the bad beat mode , will see ...

Fold preflop, such a hand is pretty hard to play postflop OOP. On the turn I don't really understand why you just flat his raise,just to donkbet into him on the river. Either 3bet his raise on the turn (my preference) or just flat his turnraise and go for a check/raise on the river.

Well when he re raised me on the turn i though that there he could be holding A something suited and that he could be dominating me there , but when he checked , then i though that he could be holding JQ, K10 , AQ , AJ and i could value bet there and get something out of him , but thoses are my thoughs ...
