I am Big Slick's red-headed stepchild. Over the last 3 days. I have lost so many allins to worse hands I just wanna puke. Ok, part of the game, move on. This is not a bad beat whine, but I need some comments on the timing of my allins on these 2 hands:

Here, BB had not gotten out of line up until this point and I really expected him to fold. Bad expectation? Am I looking at "wounded bear" syndrome at this point, where the average PP player will likely push back with pretty much anything?

Hand #2:
Ok, I just reread this one, and it is indeed a bad beat whine. Never mind.

No brainer. Move along, nothing to see here...

ok...but what led me to question this play in hindsight is that i committed half my stack when the players in positions 2-4 are roughly even in stack sizes.

Good to know it was a no-brainer, at least.
