The downswing continues. I feel like I'm playing very well, but I just can't win any big hands. Instead, I win lots of little hands and then get unlucky on a big hand. I'm a little hungry, so I'm not going to post many hands.

Hand 1: This one is interesting only because of a read I developed a few orbits after this hand happened. At the time, villain was brand new, so I knew nothing and played accordingly. It turns out that villain is a very aggressive player, capable of overplaying draws and made hands. If I had known, I would definitely have paid him off.
