Hand 3:
Same tilting villian. I don't like the large flop re-raise though.. though I suspected he just had overs, it commits me to the pot if he calls (which I thought he would do almost regardless of the cards he had...) That sounds contradictory, doesn't it... I thought he would call with just overs, I was very sure I had the best hand at the time, why not get a lot of my money in with the best of it? I suppose, however, I should have been worried about the people left to act, but they all seemed solid enough to not call the PF raise with a 2. WWYD?

Hand 4:
Villian is an all-in maniac; PF AI past few times in a row, uncontested. Make the call? I realize 3s aren't the strongest thing to call an AI with, but II was deep stacked enough relative to him and I figured it might slow him down a bit.

I've still got a lot to learn about NL ring play. Though I am up a number of buy-ins over the past few days, which is always nice.
