Today I played just horribly. Paying off on the river when I know I should fold, not maximizing value when I have a strong hand, whatever. For a lot of the big hands today, I deserved to lose money. But some of them, I may have made the right play and they were just coolers - I'm just a little too tilted right now to figure it out. Here's a few.

Hand 1: How not to play a low set - Villain 27/7/2
His massive reraise threw me for a loop, but I was thinking, hell I wanted to get the money in anyways... I didn't raise flop as I figured there were no draws anywhere and raising would put my cards face up, but now I look there are way too many players in to not raise. I didn't notice or something?

Hand 3: Never mind, I'm not even posting this; it's too idiotic. For everyone else's benefit, when a nit donks the flop and checkraises the turn, he's serious.

Hand 4: KK - villain 28/12/4
I'm not sure why the 3bet preflop was so small, probably a misclick. On turn I wasn't sure and on river I felt I was probably beat but he was giving a pretty good price and he's real aggro, so...?
