5$ Bubble play is still killing me

Yes. Some people here lack tact, and I have a tendency to get a bit volatile myself when I think someone is being unnecessarily rude, but you really do need to read the FAQ.

As to your hands, the first two look pretty standard to me. Sometimes they call and you lose. That's just the way it goes. You can't expect to run over every game.

That third one, I don't know if I'm doing that too often. Your opponent has 3x your chip stack, so he's probably going to call pretty liberally. You'll probably have more success pushing into the middle stack.

On the other hand, if the guy was a real weakie who was limping every time, I might be tempted to pull the trigger. I would need a very solid read, though, and I wouldn't do it to often. Sooner or later he's going to get pissed off and call.
