..by the quality of beats you take

Hand #1, ok this isnt a "bad beat", I played this hand poorly, flop raiser just sat down havent seen any cards. I was thinking he had A2s but I went into call down mode to see.

This hand had me perplexed, I've shown down nothing but very good hands, I was sneaking in A2s. Villian betting out on the river, I know im beat by the flush but made the crying call.
