I feel like I played poorly again, but as I'm reviewing hands, I think I just kept missing flops and I actually got away from another of bad spots. On the other side of things, I had another fight with variance, and lost a couple big pots. But there isn't much I can do about that.

Hand 1: Against this player, I should have been able to fold this river. He was a loose passive, and I knew the raise meant I was very likely beat. But I call a lot on the end with an overpair. I must admit, though, I was pretty surprised by what he showed down. I was expecting at least a straight.

Hand 3: I like this turn call. It's a good card because I can easily run from a check-raise. It turns out he was semibluffing the whole time.

Hand 4: There was something very suspicious about this villain, but this board connected with so many hands that I didn't want to play the guessing game. Thankfully, he showed it. It's really only an interesting hand because he flashed K7s and left the table after this hand, but I met up with him again (see the next one).
