    Default just 2 more coolers?

    i don't mean to post bad beat stories or whatever, but things are getting crazy with this downswing im having, and i want to be sure im not getting reverse-tilt for wanting to play these hands different.

    1.
    villain's 40/20 and the $7 raise means like QJ+/AT+/99+ since he min raises weaker hands. no postflop reads really. am i only getting in vs AK for value here?

    villain's a decent taglag, and my image is spewy...
    i've shown light 3bets vs him and a huge bluff. also in a recent rr pot i double barelled the turn all in on like a 942 board and he says he folded TT (he called the flop).
    so here his line reaked of a b3b and the board def hits him...anybody call the flop and re-eval or raise-fold the flop? i guess not since my image is nutty and 77 maybe KK will play this way?

    I think raising the turn in hand 1 is pretty bad if your opponent wasn't so retarded. Even given that, I'm not happy about getting in my money there.

    both seem pretty standard. Hand 1 you aren't getting away from... i mean he could have 77 also. + your hand doesn't look paticularly strong.

    Hand 1 is a way ahead way behind situation, I like a check call here for value on the ahead hands and to keep pot smaller if behind

    Hand 2 just reload, oh well if you ran up against a set, too much money is in... lots of other overpairs show up here

    Not raising the turn in hand 2 would be a huge mistake imho.
    PLZ plz plz get max value from 77-KK here by getting in in on flop.

    Hand 1 seems more interesting, but meh villain is loose and you have a set. Not much you can do.
    Family Cruise IMO

    getting my swell on
    if you lost to AA KK or QJ in hand 1 i would consider it a cooler, especially since AK is a big part of his range.

    hand 2 i stack there because like everyone else said, he might have 33, 44, 55, but he probably takes this line with 77 maybe 88, and certainly JJ-KK

    i def lost both, not just QJ in 1, but of clubs just to rub it in. 555 in 2.

    just feels like every hand lately somebody has the nuts or something, but ya these arent spots to dwell much on...

    how does the river not bring the in hand 1?

    proof that online poker is not rigged i guess
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
