Another 500ish hand session today, I finished at 8BB/100 and that's including 3 sets vs my overpair/TPTK. I need to learn how to stop paying these off. HALP.

1. How to get away from this, plx.

Absolute/UB Cereus No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) - Absolute/UB Cereus Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

Button ($4.91)
SB ($4.59)
BB ($17.34)
Hero (UTG) ($13.60)
MP ($6.70)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, K
Hero bets $0.40, 1 fold, Button calls $0.40, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.95) 4, 7, K (2 players)
Hero bets $0.80, Button raises to $4.51 (All-In), Hero calls $3.71

Turn: ($9.97) 3 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($9.97) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $9.97 | Rake: $0.49

Results in white below:
Button had 4, 4 (three of a kind, fours).
Hero had A, K (one pair, Kings).
Outcome: Button won $9.48


2. Similar to hand #1. In retrospect I should've called the flop raise and then reevaluated on the turn, but I guess the drawy board scared me (and him, I assume). These two hands happened within 3 minutes of each other, too!

3. Turn call was stupid. I felt I was beat. At least I didn't pay him off on the river, which I probably would have done a couple days ago.

Still, despite these pretty heavy losses I ended almost one buy-in up, so can't complain. Was running pretty hot, cards wise.

Bankroll: 204$ - back over where I started at least. woot.
