Ok, here's the thing: I'm clearing the FTP bonus and decided it was time to stay away from save haven 10 nL and only play 25 nL and up from now. But in just 2 days I lost like 6 buy-inns for a whopping $150... and I start turning desperate, feeling the urge to go down again to 10 nL. Please look at some hands I post next, and comment (is it me or just variance?).

Hands 1-3 are about semi-hitting the flop as the pre-flop raiser. Should I play these any different (i.e. these situations add up to the total loss). Should I play them more agressive or just hope for some free cards because of the lack of folding equity at this level?

Hand 1:
(opp calls with any 2 pre and 'gets lucky all the time', very agro post flop)
