Any reads at all?

If it was me: one the first hand I'd small 4 bet. The second hand, It'd just muck. If he's calling the turn to bluff scary rivers, gg to him.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

I'm getting to the point where it just feels like everything is going wrong.

I had switched from SNG's to ring and I can't seem to feel good about how I am playing. I've been up and down over the past few weeks and although I am slightly better than even, I can't seem to get in a groove.

Is this normal for ring?

I've had downswings in SNG's but they were usually from bubbling out several in a row from bad beats, but wins would come back pretty easily. I just feels like I am hitting the "I suck at poker and life" wall again.

On the first hand, the villain had been somewhat active, but hadn't been reraising anything.

Second hand, I had just joined the table so no reads. Later on, villain called an overbet on the river on a paired, connected, and suited board with just an overpair.

Suckouts galore, running into higher flopped sets, Aks losing to Aks, losing to running quads when i do have a higher set, an having everyone fold to a standard raise when I get Aces.

Deep down, I know I am making some good decisions, but I can't help but feel like a fish when people are winning 6 dollar pots with middle pair and I can't do diddly squat.

I like the fourbet small line because his 3b is like "fuck you for raising!" so you want to raise smallish again since he's either gonna tilt-shove or call you for sure

 1st, in a vacuum make is small 4bet. You're only 65bb deep so don't be afraid of paying off AA.

2nd, your turn bet size is way to small
