In hindsight, I see that the Aces hand was a huge mistake on my part. I was thinking that since both the players have been playing passive the whole time, I might be able to see the showdown for two bets in this gigantic pot (probably the biggest I've ever seen). Obviously it didn't work out like that and I went ahead and punched myself out afterwards.
On the other hand, the K8s hand was in a very loose game (well over 40% vpip for the table). Although I usually play pretty tight from early position, I figured it would be profitable to play since they were suited and expected lots of limpers. Besides me, there were six other people, is this really an unprofitable play?
You guys are really helping me out, here are some other hands that I've been having trouble with.
