AA, against very loose passive player.

Villain is 68/1/.67 after about 70 hands. He's awful but continues to win hand after hand, eventually leaving the table with $80. How's my line here.

Here's a second hand played against the same player. I got trigger happy after the AA hand above and it cost me.

Not sure what you want us to comment on with these hands. You know there's a forum for bad beat posts right?

Just pulled some hands from a huge losing session. Not trying to post a bad beat so much as seeing if I overplayed these hands. They look ok to me, but i wanted a different set of eyes. If it looks standard then I won't be offended if you delete them.

Against a villain that you described I'm getting my money in middle with those hands on those flops. The problem with calling stations is that they do not fold and they do show any aggression. They are the epitome of 1st level thinkers. You just have to play your cards against them.

Id be happy with The first hand you posted.

Took a bad beat but minimized your loses. At the same time your turn bet was strong, it was a draw heavy board and it was the right play.

So no, I dont think you overplayed your hand at all.

Thanks.I felt I played them ok but this session was my single biggest losing session. And these two hands were my biggest losers during that session. I couldn'thelp but second guess myself. All beats on this session came with premium PP's on 'favorable' flops against loose passives.

It's awful to be at a great table and run bad.

All you can do is make correct decisions. In the long run, your bank roll will reflect the results of your decision-making. Sorry to be harsh, but I am in the middle of a hideous downswing and should exercise more restraint. You don't want to see some of the horrors I've gone through, trust me.
