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.

Hero bets $0.40, 1 fold, Button calls $0.40, 2 folds

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.
