    Default Is this just bad luck, or should I be getting away

    Warning: This is not meant as a bad beat post, but it may look that way.
    I'm working on my aggression, but it is putting me in some shitty spots. All these are against normal 50NL loose fish. Am I supposed to be folding? Calling since I made them pay to draw?

    1). calling on the river seems fine to me
    2). raise a little more on the turn, to like $13-14. here i think folding on the river is good
    3). well played
    4). even if you only fired three barrels when you had a good hand, your opponents are still going to look you up often enough with weaker hands.

    hand one...fold. call/call/valuebet? youre beat.

    hand two...fold pf. as played, i like the turn raise. but, if he thought about calling and leads river, theres a high likelihood, imo, he hit it. i hate 4 str8s, btw.

    hand three...you beat a lot of stuff here. i like the call. if he had J9, so be it.

    hand four...i check pf. i know its HU, but what are we trying to do on this flop? if youre running bad, stop goofing around with shit holdings. rock it up a bit until you get your mojo back.
    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!
