i'll try to remember the reads on players...but it may be vague. sorry.

hand one. villain here was pretty aggressive. he was raising everything it seemed. i dont like to slowplay flopped sets, especially on flushy boards, but i figured i would c/shove here, and he may think its a lesser hand "playing back."

hand two. loose, passive pf, but aggressive post flop. thought he was trying to steal my bb, and i had a hand here to defend with. i dont like two pair hands. so, i will try to get the money in on the flop...before it counterfeits. had no idea he would be willing to "go for the ride."

those suck, but are not intended to be "bad beats." they just were. did i overplay them for this level? i have had a time with variance lately because of overplaying, and am trying to get a better handle on situations.

hand three. no "solid" read on villain. seemed a bit aggro, though. where do you slowplay this hand? from the get-go, or turn. river gave me a flashback of the worst beat i ever took to quads, but still, i go down in flames to quads...everytime. man, i wanted that story, though. losing to the EXACT same board to another T against AA...wouldve been a sweet whiiiine.

hand four. i want to know if the turn raise was good? had him on the 9 or TT since he just called my pfr and checked flop. i wanted the guarantee, but couldnt help but think i should have pushed here? no history with villain calling pushes, so i went safer. push anyway? i didnt want to see a Q or K on river.

as played, should i have only valuebet river to $7.50?

oh, aint variance a bitch? i went from those first two beats to almost back to even in about 25 hands. what a swing.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
