I should really hate myself for not playing more, but I like booking wins

Just played another partial session. Won a few big pots, went to take a piss, then looked at where I was ; I was up about 4 buy ins so I just decided to book the win then stop.

Here are some of the hands that were fun :

Felt like villain was capable of doing this on a bluff and doubt he checks a strong hand on the river here…

I float a ton. Here’s a situation where I hit one of the cards I’m looking for but felt torn. Villain has been pretty damn aggro postflop and has taken a cpl big pots off of me. The problem with raising here is that he quite often doesn’t even have a pair. On the other hand, if he does have a KQ-ish type hand a lot of cards will kill my action on the river.

I felt like minraising but am still not sure what best course of action would be. He knows I’m capable of big moves after the flop. I think he’ll pay me off w AQ on a safe river a ton…

I’ve been beating up on this guy for awhile now. I feel like this guy’s bluffing the turn/is weak. But I don’t have the balls to check/call so I just try to get him to fold :

I put villain on a big pair he’d have a tough time folding here. A lot of ppl freeze up with the dbl paired board but I figured he’d never ever c raise with the size of pot etc… My favourite hand of the night def :
