Hard night...

Okies – so to set the scene I was tilting due to my internet connection which seems to suffer from the increased use it gets on Sunday evenings.
I’m stuck about half a buy-in and then I get into this hand:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512969 – I checked the flop hoping to check-raise – then my comp disconnected, and when it reconnected I think I played the hand badly – however – I knew if I called his turn bet he would probably put me all-in on the river. Basically, this is open for discussion. Villain is playing 30/10/7
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512982 – next hand I played KK like a donkey, should have bet the turn and folded the river – pretty obvious what he had. Villain is playing 42/8/4
Now down $100 so take a break and have dinner. Mmmm
****
Internet connection still a bit screwy but manage to play this hand before it fucks up again
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512964 – if he hadn’t raised me on the flop I would have folded the river bet – but I don’t like people changing their story...
So down $75 for the night...
****
After another break I start playing again. I managed to lose $150 in this session and I’m not quite sure how I dropped three stacks.
I think I played the following hand quite well, but it’s open for discussion. Posted it because it’s a fairly common situation on SSNL tables.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512998 – in this hand, after 2-betting the opponent and not getting raised I was happy to go broke on a board with no over’s – think this is an ok mentality – had no stats on the villain and he was a short stacked donkey as far as I was concerned.
And now the not so good ones:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512910 – this was a bit of a tilt call on the turn... can I justify it?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512921 – Okies my thoughts were; on the flop: how can I fold this hand? On the turn: he’s giving me 4:1 and there’s a 20% chance the board will pair and on the river – thank god for the 8, it just saved the latter half of my stack. Lol – anyone think I could have played this differently? Villain playing 40/6/4
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512937 – this was kinda embarrassing when he almost timed out before making the call. My thoughts were, there is no way he’s checking a house or the nuts flush to me on the river – if I bet $20 he may think it’s a mis-click, call with a small flush or three of a kind Ts. Don’t know – as it played out it made me look like a donkey. Villain playing 44/5/5
There were also a fair few hands like this: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1513048 – villain playing 45/13/12 - I know this is a small pot but I cannot work out if I should be looking to call here... cannot understand his play...
Overall – so many hands where I would raise pre, C-bet in pos, get called and see that they were holding some raggy TP by the river – not sure if I should be increasing my aggression or reducing it...
Overall I hit very few sets over the course of the night, tbh I hit very few flops really. Lol. Having looked fthrough a shit load of hands I’m just beginning to think it was an unlucky night. It seemed if I had a pocket pair and they had overs they would hit their overs, and if it was the other way round I’d just not hit at all.
Anyways – down $225 on the night. Not feeling too shitty about it coz I don’t think I could attribute more than $40-$50 to pure tilt. And I didn’t get any horrible outdraws after the money went in. Just think I got on the nastier end of variance. Probably will hit the tables again on Tuesday and start trying to make it back. To make myself feel happier I re-loaded $100 as I made about $140 playing live the other night so think I should include the profit in my roll.

Ty for reading. Gl at the tables
