Hand 1 - Bet - considering stack sizes left, probably just shove

Hand 2 - I think I pretty quickly get it in the middle. The only thing you are behind is a str8 and that is really stretching for monsters under the bed. He really played it like an overpair and is likely committed at that point. I put your, what $15 left? in the middle. It's not even enough for a minraise.

Hand 3 - I think you are ahead of enough to warrant a raise, but a lot of times I just call so that I can see what hand they have. I treat the missed value the same as a light call to get a read.

Well i see i'm not the only one thinking i had to push on those cases, all this hands were part of my horrible day that was yesterday where i left 10 buyins at the tables, on my journal you guys can see more horrible beats ( i didnt include this hands ).

On all those hands i pushed...

Hand 1: Villain showed ( for cuads )

Hand 2: Villain showed ( for a straight )

Hand 3: Villain showed ( for a flush)

Hand 4: River was a , Villain showed ( AND I WON A HAND !!! )
